Vit D and sun exposure is normal!

Vitamin D is normally made on the surface of you skin by activation by the sun and UV rays! It is vital for hormone, bone and immune HEALTH.

Failure to get adequate sun light on your skin can lead to Vitamin D deficiency. That's right, people are not getting enough sunlight!

I have posted results from a study done in Australia in 2007 and it shows that up to 97% of Australians may be deficient in Vitamin D.

high risk people are people in nursing homes, office workers and hyper vigilent "sun-avoiders"

How to manage:

Sun exposure is normal and necessary

20 mins minimum a day is important for Vit D stimulation (synthesis)

Walk in the middle of the day 10-2pm when sun exposure is at its highest.

Unless you are an African negro (*ironically they have a high incidence of melanomas) or are red hair, fair skinned and have a family history of skin cancers - get out amongst it!

The 7 Essentials for Happy Hormones

The Essentials for Happy Hormones
1. Where possible and practical, look for natural options. For example, hormone replacement therapy is not the only option for post menopausal women wanting to prevent osteoporosis. Weights, yoga and walking all assist in prevention of osteoporosis.

2. Know your body – establish in your diary or on a calendar, what a normal cycle is for you. Variations to your normal pattern may herald a hormone change and your body could be deficient in vitamins or minerals. A normal cycle will occur every 28-31 days, with ovulation occurring on day 14, and a menses (period) lasting 3-4 days. Requiring 4-5 normal sized tampons on the heaviest day.

3. Good food, regular exercise and active down time is so important when keeping hormones happy. Stress needs to be realized and hormone production requires omega three consumptions, vitamins and minerals.

4. Manage stress in efficient and time sensitive ways. Establish a daily de-stress routine. Ie it might be more practical to deep breath for 1 minute before going to bed, than it is to zoom off to a health retreat every month.

5. Avoid exogenous estrogens where possible (exogenous estrogens are synthetic materials that act like estrogen when inhaled by the respiratory system). Lead fumes, carpets in cars, battery eggs and hens and foods all contain substances that will make you body think it is making enough estrogen or you will have a back log trying to keep up with detoxifying it all

6. If you are in doubt, conduct a saliva test from home. You can order on line from http://www.byebyebridget.com/ecommerce.php

7. Talk to someone if you are feeling out of balance. Intervene quickly and don’t let the problem manifest until your relationships are threatened.
