53. Summer At Last?

Well, it is May and there are signs we might be having some sunny weather. Although we always have to be careful not to burn it is a good idea to collect some of that free Vitamin D. Some useful info:

Role of Vitamin D in Good Nutrition

Vitamin D is produced by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. It is also found in foods of animal origin.

• Vitamin D differs from other vitamins in that our bodies can make it upon exposure to sunlight.
• In its active form, it is considered to be a hormone. It has hormone-like effects on mineral absorption, bone mineralization and some secretions.

Key Functions

• Vitamin D is crucial for the development of healthy bones and teeth. Without it, the body cannot build or maintain strong bones.
• Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a role in controlling calcium absorption, which affects bone development and is also essential for blood clotting.
• When vitamin D is in short supply in the body, less calcium is absorbed from food, and blood levels have to be maintained by taking calcium from the bones.

Food Sources

Cod liver oil, herring, mackerel, sardines, salmon, margarine, tuna, and cheddar cheese.

52. Supporting Local

Dave, as those of you who know him well,  is apt to drink the occasional glass of beer.
We both feel quite strongly that if we are drinking anything, then our own e-Spring water is the healthy way to go. However, when Dave does drink beer, he is very fussy and only drinks what he calls 'real' beers.
So, we were very pleased to support a local group of people promoting local businesses and local beers.

51. Omega 3 Complex

The polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) cannot be produced by the body in sufficient quantities.

If your diet does not include 1-2 portions of fish per week on a regular basis, concentrated fish oils supplement can offer a convenient way to add those precious essential fatty acids to your diet.

Potential users:

• Those who do not eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as most fish, seafood, leafy vegetables, canola oil, soybean oil and walnuts

• Those who are interested in the beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids

There are many results from research that suggest Onega 3 Ouls can help:

- reduce the pain of inflammation 

- better brain function

- feeling better or less depressed

- increased concentration span in children 

- some protection from stroke and cardiovascular disease

I personally would only recommend  Nutrilite supplements that are made from natural, chemical free foods and wherever possible organic sources.
