Health Tip of the Week - "Sunshine"

Did you know that over 50% of Americans are not getting all the sunshine they need? By not doing so will be a contributing factor to health problems in your future. The sun DOES NOT cause cancer. Lack of sun does. Sunshine is essential for good health and stimulates your body to produce the Vitamin D that it needs. Your homework for the week....."Catch some rays". Minimum 20 minutes a day.

Kristy, I am glad you raised this important subject. I found out to my detriment when going for a bone-density scan that one should spend 10-15 mins in the sun every day if possible.
It helps to prevent bone loss - I.e. Osteoporosis.
This goes for men and women, especially fair men. Even my doctor has osteoporosis and he is young and fair. Judy

"Have you worked out lately?"

Hello and I hope you are all doing well. I hope that this post finds you well and ready for "Thanksgiving" this week. Well, with that being said, you know what they all say about this time of year. How much weight are we supposed to gain this time of year? Is is ten pounds? Well, whatever. Now is a good time of year to get into that exercise program that you know you need to do but don't have the time. Well, I am here to tell you that you do have the time.

I had those abs everyone dreamed about and I looked good. Now many years later after having my daughter I'm going to get back into the program.

"An Apple a day keeps the doctor away".

So what's that all about? An apple a day keeps the doctor away?...An old wives tale claiming that an apple a day will keep the doctor away? Well, there is a lot of truth to that. An apple is full of nutrients and enzymes that are so important for good health. As well as 4 grams of fiber and we all need more of that in our diets...don't we. I remember one time I felt like I was starting to come down with a cold, so I started eating apples every day...Well, guess what? That cold could not really get a hold of me and passed in about 3 days. Right now the people at work are sick and have a nasty cold. I'm like...I don't want that cold....so here I am eating apples every day. I buy organic...so say that's $30 a month for apples for one person. That's a pretty cheap insurance policy. Ok, lets get technical...for my whole family to have an apple a day....with many health benefits...say for $90 a month compared to $350...That's a good investment. Remember ...
