Vitamin D helps our bodies absorb calcium from foods. At our latitude in Canada, we cannot make vitamin D from the sun for about half the year (October to March). As a result, a daily dietary source of vitamin D is important. There are only a few commonly consumed foods naturally rich in vitamin D. These include cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel and tuna. You can also get smaller amounts of vitamin D from egg yolks, liver and margarine. Milk in Canada is fortified with vitamin D so that 1 cup (250 mL) provides 100 IU.

Carbohydrate is stored as glycogen in muscles, where it is used as a source of quick energy. If you deplete your glycogen stores during long steady intense activity like marathon running, you will become fatigued and exhausted. The only way to refill muscle glycogen stores is by eating carbohydrate-rich foods. The best carbohydrate food choices are nutritious high carbohydrate foods from the four food groups such as fruit, potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, cereal, legumes, milk and fruit-flavoured yogurt.
