*VITAMIN D The Sunshine vitamin*
Are you taking your supplement and if not, should you be taking VitD?
As we wrap up and prepare for the colder darker days, we should be considering our need for VitD.
Vitamin D is essential for our bone and muscle health, plays a role in our mental health, helps you sleep and also plays a role in the immune response after an infection.
VitD has played an important role in severity of COVID infection, recovery from COVID and even our vaccine response.
When levels are low you may experience:
- Fatigue
- Problems with sleep
- Bone and muscle aches and pain
- Hair loss
- Depression
Good levels reduce the risk of cancer and autoimmune disorders.
However, vitD deficiency is at epidemic proportions in the UK (more so in Scotland) in the south Asian population. The challenge is that we don't get enough sunlight for our bodies to produce vitD. We only get limited amounts in our diet even if it is varied (best food sources are fatty fish, egg yolks and mushrooms)
My tips for improving your vitD levels:
1. Spend more time in sunlight
2. Take a supplement
There are so many different brands and different doses available – what is right for you?
Here are our recommendations:

1. Many Vitamin D brands contain animal products so check for vegetarian options.

2. Adults, young people and children over 4 years should consider taking a daily supplement of 10mcg (400 international units) of Vitamin D between October and early March.

3. Adults, young people and children over 4 years should consider taking a daily supplement of 10mg (400 international units) of Vitamin D throughout the year:

- If they have little exposure or no sunshine exposure (eg housebound elderly).
- If they have brown/black skin.

4. Children 1-4 years should have a daily supplement 10mcg (400units) Vitamin D throughout the year.

5. Babies from birth to 1 year should have a daily supplement 8.5mcg (340units) to 10mcg (400 units) of Vitamin D throughout the year if they are breastfed.

The foundations of good health and wellbeing are:
1. Healthy eating and nutrition
2. Physical exercise
3. Sleep
4. Stress Management
5. Social connection
Each one of these pillars is interconnected with the others. When you exercise, you sleep better. When you sleep better, you digest food and regulate hormones better which in turn regulates stress levels. And so on. Our lifestyle and adjusting our habits is not just ‘good for us’ but can actually be medicine. It’s not just about avoiding bad habits because the right lifestyle and good nutrition can improve your wellbeing, reverse your health problems and even make chronic disease disappear.
Lifestyle changes can be TREATMENT
Lifestyle changes can prevent us from getting sick in the first place.
What one change will you make today?

ARE YOU HAVING SLEEP ISSUES? DO YOU GO THROUGH THE DAY TIRED, GRUMPY AND HAVING DIFFICULTY FOCUSSING?

Let's talk about SLEEP 💤

Sleep is the FOUNDATION of good health - it impacts how you eat, your mood, your memory and your risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes. Yet we do not prioritise our sleep. In this current COVID pandemic of high stress, anxieties and emotional overwhelm it is the perfect antidote to balance!

☀️ Our body takes cues from light/darkness to regulate and produce the right hormones which directly impact our sleep. We need to get some daylight. Sit in the garden if you have one with your morning coffee or even just sit at a window. Even on a cloudy day your body is picking up essential light.
🌚 At bedtime embrace total darkness. As nightime approaches, dim lights, take of the blue light of your devices and use black out blinds in bedrooms (this is a great one for kids). Your sleep hormone, melatonin, slowly builds up when the body recognises the dark making you sleepier
⏰ Put an alarm on for bedtime (yes!) and start a bedtime routine. This is an important way to wind down without screen time. Try a skin care or pamper regime (keep it simple), a hot bath or shower will get your core body temperature down which is important for sleep, some gentle stretching, read a book, prayer/meditation, breathing exercises. Take your pick.
🛏️ Keep your bedroom temperature on the low side. How many times have you woken up too hot? Lower temperatures help you sleep. Keep your bedroom decluttered clean and fresh and maybe try some lavender essential oil sprinkled on your bedsheets.
☕ Ok this is important for all you coffee and tea drinkers. Caffeine has a long half life which means it takes many hours for it's affect to wear off on your body. Evidence shows that even those that get to sleep quickly, if they have been drinking coffee late in the day, will have a lower quality sleep. So no coffee after midday
🛋️ If you don't fall asleep after 20-25min of trying, get out of bed. Do something relaxing slow quiet. lights dimmed. Maybe read or do some breathing exercises or listen to some music (alpha waves sleep music!)

*LIFESTYLE**COACHING*

It seems everyone is talking about having a healthy lifestyle but there is so much conflicting and complicated information out there that it can be overwhelming. Where do you start?

- Keep it simple. Establish one routine at a time.
- Focus on the '4 Foundations of Health' and improve one thing in each area but one by one.
- Movement: we are far too sedentary. Our bodies were made to MOVE. Any kind of exercise is fine. You don't have to lift weights or break a sweat if you don't want to. Go for walks, dance with the kids at home, do some squats and star jumps. Just make sure to move everyday
- Food: forget calorie counting. Eat real food. Don't snack. Plenty of water. Simple
- Sleep: some say this is the foundation of health. I'll be doing a post about this in detail
- Relax: Give yourself permission to relax. You will be better for it physically and emotionally.

Lifestyle coaching can help you if you are struggling with your health. It is evidence based Lifestyle interventions incorporated into realistic and achievable goals.

**The power of NLP**

We often are shaped by our past experiences because we get stuck in in the same thought processes and often unconsciously react to things without understanding why. Sometimes we make the same mistakes again and again. The same hurdles keep appearing. We forget that we don't always have to go over a hurdle but we can get around it - find a NEW path. Challenge your feelings (they are caused by your own thoughts so can be changed whenever YOU want) and challenge your inner voice.

Be mindful of your consumption - it is not just what you eat that has an affect on your health. What you consume via your eyes and ears and the energy around you (the people you hang out with) all affect you consciously and subconsciously. It affects your emotional and mental wellbeing. It affects your heart - the seat of your soul.
