Sunshine Medicine Vitamin D

If you are like most of us you do not get out in the sun much, or your daily intake of Vitamin D is not up to par. There are many ways of making sure we are eating and drinking the right amount of Vitamin D, but there is a simple way to make sure you are getting the right dose and that is with a supplement. Do you find yourself getting depressed in the winter, around the months of January, February and March??? I like to look at Vitamin D as a sunshine holiday. I know, it sounds crazy but when you are getting the amount of Vitamin D you are supposed to be getting, then your body is going to thank-you and so are your moods.  With all of the immune system builder out there, this inexpensive little Vitamin should be included in there too.

A Parasite Cleanse

Most of us don’t like to talk about Parasites. The thing is, everyone has them, and there are good parasites as well as bad ones. Many of us can go on with our lives and not suffer much from them at all, but then there are some of us who suffer terribly from them. If any of you suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) then you are going to want to read more :-) I attend a Yoga class on Wednesday mornings, and have been for years. I am not sure how the conversation started, but I brought up my IBS to one of the ladies there. She told me she also suffered from IBS, or used to suffer until she went on these Para-Rid capsules. She told me that she does not suffer anymore after doing the cleanse. I had to try it, what was I going to loose. You take 3 pills in the morning and 3 pills at night for 7 days. Skip 5 days and then do the same thing for 7 more days. They say it is best to do it again in the spring and in the fall. I swear by these pills and they are all natural.

September is Yoga Month

With September being Yoga month it is a great opportunity to experience all the benifits of this exercise. It doesn’t just feel great to do Yoga it is great for your whole body. It has been proven to help with back pain, menopause, breast cancer, and even helps you look and feel younger. Some of us have been active this summer with biking, walking, running, and swimming, but as the summer slows down and the weather changes, its nice to have something else to fall back on to help us stay in shape and keep us from getting those winter blues.

Supplements and Aging Gracefully

Tell me, is there anyone out there that does not want to age gracefully??? I don’t just mean looking good but feeling fantastic. Many woman are low on Iron, Vitamin D, and many other Vitamins. Sure we all work very hard at healthy meals, and that is great, but most of us need that little extra to keep up feeling good and looking healthy. There are foods out there that some of us just cannot eat, whether it be because you can’t or maybe just because it tastes bad to you. It is important though to pick the right multivitamin. Some of them just do not meet the standards. On top of a multivitamin you will also need to be taking some added vitamins. Read more

Let The Sunshine In With Vitamin D

If you are finding yourself depressed and your just not getting outside enough during the colder months, then you may want to think about taking a Vitamin D supplement. There are many other ways of getting your Vitamin D, but a lot of us do not eat the right foods to get the amount we need. As most of us know, Vitamin D comes from the sun.

But if you are unable to do that taking Vitamin D would be the right choice. There are foods such as Salmon, Liver and Cod Liver oil that is packed full of Vitamin D. Read more
