What a vegetarion man should eat to fulfil deficiency of vit d?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take pill.: Salmon has a high amount of vitamin d but a vegetarian should take vitamin d pills to assure adequate intake. Alternatively 15 minutes of sunshine three times a week in a bathing suit provides adequate d.
