"D" is for Deficient

Attention all health-conscious girlies! The Boston Globe recently reported that 1 in 5 kids aren’t getting enough vitamin D. 
Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, which bulks up your bones and teeth. The deficiency is especially problematic for girls, as we are already at a higher risk for weak bones than boys.

Drinking milk and eating fish like salmon and tuna can help increase your vitamin D. Ten to fifteen minutes of sunshine a day helps, too!
