Taking vitamin D is unlikely to prevent falls or fractures. Here's what it does: It's that time of year when your body produces less vitamin D. Sunshine is the main source of vitamin D, and we need it to keep our bones and muscles strong. Many people take supplements to meet the shortfall, but they're not a magic bullet of protection.

Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods we can eat. So is egg salad also healthy?: While some side dishes such as potato salad are considered more seasonal and are usually only popular in the summer, other sides are common throughout the year. Mashed potatoes, for instance, is just as likely to grace a summer barbecue as it is to accompany turkey on Thanksgiving. Ditto for corn on the cob, green side salads and macaroni and cheese.
