Now this is a great source of vitamin D ☀️ The Natural R&R way!
Often called the 'sunshine vitamin', vitamin D plays an integral role in skin protection and rejuvenation. In its active form as calcitriol, vitamin D contributes to skin cell growth, repair, and metabolism. It enhances the skin's immune system and helps to destroy free radicals that can cause premature ageing. Beyond this there are so many more benefits including perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and facilitating normal immune system function. Getting enough vitamin D is important for typical growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance to certain diseases. So let’s enjoy the great weather while we can…Oh and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Mother’s Day outdoor Run 🏃‍♀️ by the lake in the awesome sun ☀️ (included a Mother’s Day heart necklace from my son) Running outside increases energy, decreases feelings of depression, and… you are more likely to repeat your workouts, indoors or outdoors! Being in nature is very calming, and research shows that running outdoors releases less stress hormone, cortisol. Soak up your health in the sun!

It’s easy to let negative thoughts and feelings creep in during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The coronavirus is spreading. Nations are under quarantine. People are out of work. Schools remain closed, indefinitely.
If you’re feeling afraid, you’re not alone.
Despite all of this, keeping a positive mindset can go a long way in managing through the difficult time.
Holding onto that positive attitude can help you center on things that provide you with what you need to make it through this day. It’s really important these days.
Some of the many benefits of positive thinking 😃:
* Increased life span
* Lower rates of depression
* Lower levels of distress
* Greater resistance to the common cold/flu
* Better psychological and physical well-being
* Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
* Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
Stay Positive, Strong, Safe and keep reminding yourself we are all in this together!
