Let The Sunshine In

Officially, it's still winter - it's grey outside and, every once in a while, we get a sun-teaser that reminds us that Spring isn't too far away.

Vitamin D, also known as the “sunshine vitamin,” has been associated with so many health benefits that it may well become the “nutrient of the decade.” According to Dr. Mercola, Vitamin D has the potential to prevent diseases that claim nearly 1 million lives throughout the world each year -- including 600,000 cases of breast and colorectal cancers!

Vitamin D has been found to:

1. Strengthen bones
2. Reduce tumor growth
3. Lower the risk of cancer
4. Reduce the risk of multiple sclerosis
5. Lower the risk of diabetes

Throughout most of human history, sunlight was the primary source of vitamin D. But based on how much sun is available and how much time you spend in the sun, you may also need additional sources. Our Vitamin D stores from the summer have long been used up.

Vitamin D can be found in foods (vitamin D is found in oily fish like salmon, mackerel, bluefish, catfish, sardines and tuna) or you can take vitamin D3 supplements. Vitamin D3 is important for the absorption of calcium from the stomach and for the functioning of calcium in the body.

Over the next few months, I will be helping you get acquainted with the supplements that I sell in my nutrition clinic. Body Wise products are manufactured in San Diego, CA to the highest standards. They use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, and aqueous coatings, to name a few of the many features of this line of supplements.

Vitamin D3 can be found in the PMs, which is the night-time multi-mineral formulation. PMs contain a full 400IU of D3 as Cholecalciferol. Altogether there are 23 various components in PMs, with Vitamin D3 as the first on the list.

Match this with AMs, the multi-vitamin formulation, and you receive 50 select nutrients. This will certainly take the nutritional question mark off your plate!

For less than $1.50 per day, you can get this nutritional insurance, delivered to your door, wherever you live in North America.

And when that sun is shining, get out there and let a little sun onto your bare skin - just don't overdo it and get burnt!
