10 Foods High in Vitamin D
Vitamin D Rich Food #3: Swordfish
Swordfish is a large marine fish which has a sword-like snout. Swordfish is another food high in vitamin D. Three ounces of swordfish flesh contain 566 IUs of the sunshine vitamin. This is almost 100 percent of the vitamin D RDA. Swordfish is also rich in other nutrients besides vitamin D. A three ounce serving of swordfish contains 20 grams of protein. This is almost half the RDA of protein for a typical average diet.
Swordfish is also high in EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory. Additionally, swordfish contains healthy amounts of potassium. Potassium helps control blood pressure and prevents heart disease. You should, however, only eat swordfish occasionally because it might be contaminated with mercury.
