No More Sick Days...

Did you know that Vitamin D3 is one of the most nutritional tools we have at our disposal for improving our health?

Well I didn't either until hubsters and I met a doctor last week over dinner (a friend of a friend).

Some how we got on the subject of vitamins and Sarah (the doctor) was sharing with the group some fascinating information on vitamin D3.

Adequate levels of D3 are linked to improving your immune system, reducing your risks of neurological disorders (like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), and many forms of cancers including prostate and breast. And, Sarah said, the list of health benefits linked directly to D3 just keeps growing and growing with every new D3 medical study she reads.

D3 is produced naturally when our bodies are exposed to sunlight. However, the amount of sunlight exposure needed by our bodies to naturally produce optimal levels of vitamin D3 has been estimated at 25 minutes of full body exposure (obviously not a real option in Wisconsin due to weather and indecent exposure laws). So, instead, hubsters and I have added the vitamin to our "dailies".

Here's to a long and happy life!
