Throw everything and more on the street!
From late October to early spring vitamin D in the body is practically synthesized (only partially), or "winter" for Vitamin D lasts for more than 6 months a year.
Therefore, the main source of this time of year should be foods fortified with vitamin D: egg yolks, cod liver oil, fatty fish sea - these are the main and best sources of this element.
Doctors do not recommend visit the solarium - they are ineffective and unsafe. Solarium lamps emit ultraviolet rays of the spectrum A, which greatly increases the risk of melanoma (skin cancer), and blocks the synthesis of vitamin D in their own body.
Nonetheless be sure to go outside and let the sun "to work" with your skin. In addition, light is needed for the synthesis of serotonin, so its education intensively in the morning and sunny days. Serotonin - a neurotransmitter that stimulates improvement of mood, cognition, regulating behavior in the reception of food and sleep. Changes in the serotonin concentration in the brain cause anxiety, migraines, back pain, crying, increase premenstrual syndrome, stimulate overeating, depression, hysteria, phobias, anger, and even the thought of suicide.
