Vitamin D - Sunshine Vitamin is Hot-Hot -Hot (Part 1)

Listen to this Post. Powered by iSpeech.org

Vitamin D - Sunshine Vitamin is Hot-Hot -Hot (part 1)

dd-vitamind

I have studied the importance of Vitamins and Minerals for years but I never knew how important vitamin D had become.

dd-vitamin-d
After recently getting a physical and blood work my very good Doctor and friend Dr. Unger. told me that I was chronically low in vitamin D.

dd-sam-d

I couldn't believe it!!! I thought that I was in perfect condition.

Well, I was wrong so I decided to do some research about Vitamin D.

dd-vitamin-d1

It doesn't matter if it's a 15 year old young athlete trying to put on some muscle, a working mom who is trying to shed those last 10 lbs, or a 60 year old grandpa who is looking to improve his health …

dd-people

And my answer is always the same - let's first look at your diet before assessing if you should be taking a supplement(s).

Most are overrated, but there are some that have merit for sure.

And one vitamin that continues to dominate the science and media is vitamin D -the "Sunshine Vitamin."

Not long ago it was thought of as more of a "helper" nutrient - helping the body better utilize its calcium for strong bones.

But the game has changed.

dd-holding-the-sun

GRAB HOLD THE POWER OF THE SUN!!

Experts now realize that vitamin D has a positive effect on many different functions in the body:

• muscle strength
• bone health
• potentially reducing the risk of type 1 and 2 diabetes
• obesity
• cancer prevention
• Alzheimer's
• arthritis
• decreasing falls with elderly
• other inflammatory issues

And more and more research is showing that a good majority of the population is deficient - here are just some prevalence numbers from several studies:

* 74% of premenopausal women
* 60% of elderly
* 50% of pregnant women
* 42% of children are deficient!

The first step is to get your levels tested - ask for your doctor to test 25-hydroxyvitamin D .

The blood values should be between 50-80 ng/mL (or 125-200 nM/L) year-round.

dd-r-u


So if it's so important, where do we get it?

We can make vitamin D from sunlight. But most "shun the sun" - by either rarely venturing outdoors, or slathering themselves with 4000 SPF suntan lotion so it's like a suit of armor.
I blame my wife for being low on Vitamin D since she never let's me out in the sun without putting 4000 SPF sunblock on me.

(She is an esthetician so she is always worried about skin and sun damage)
I know she really has my best interest at heart.

And some other foods provide D too, but it's difficult to get through foods - milk is fortified, canned and wild salmon are good options, sardines, anchovies, egg yolks, liver, and only a few other foods provide decent quantities Vitamin D. Unfortunately most don't eat or drink many of those options above.

So what should we do?

1. Go to the doctor and have your levels tested.

dd-girl_playing_doctor

(If you live in the area I recommend Dr. Unger)

14726 Ramona Ave.Suite 110 Chino, CA 91710 (909)590-8409

dd-unger_photo_2

He truly is one of the best out there.


2. Include some of those foods above for quality sources of D, along with other nutrients.

the Body Itself Makes Vitamin D when exposed To The Sun

The Body Itself Makes Vitamin D When Exposed to the Sun


3. Get out in the sun a bit - just 10 minutes each day seems to be sufficient.

4. Add a quality vitamin D supplement - experts seem to agree that 1000 IU's of Vitamin D3 each day is a good start.

Of course talk to your health care provider and follow their specific recommendations.

Heck, even Bailee takes 400 IU's every single day … and she's just 7 months old!

west-coast-for-feb

So to answer the "what supplement should I take" question - this is one supplement that I feel should be on everyone's shelf.

dd-vitamin_d-l

For more information on this subject I recommend talking to

Dr. Unger.

Bailee's Balancing Act

Listen to this Post. Powered by iSpeech.org

Here is one of my favorite quotes:

"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done.

God may have been waiting for centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

bailee-balance-children1

You got to check this video out. Both my wife and I couldn't believe what our 4 month old baby girl was able to do.

bailee1

WARNING !!!  Never attempt this at home with your child.

Loren is a liscensed physical therapist and works with national gymnastic champions.

From the young age of 4 yrs. old,  Loren's daughter Holly, has been able to hold a handstand.

bailee-balance-handstands-by-the-pool1

What amazing things can happen with positive reinforcement.

Today Holly has accomplished the National Champion status in Acrobatic Gymnastics and is currently working with Cirque du soleil.

bailee-balance-holly-blocks1

You see as children we don't have fears and we are only limited by our imagination.

bailee-balance-jesse-henderson

But something happens to us as we grow up and we start doubting ourselves.

dd-images1

Could it be the constant "you can't do this",  "you are not good at that",

" You will never become that.", from the adults?

As a first time father I would love your opinion on this subject.

Please leave me a comment.

You and Tiger Woods are CHEATERS

Listen to this Post. Powered by iSpeech.org

sams-oj-joke-hahha
Cheating is nothing more than going against what you have promised.

If you promised yourself and others that you will follow a nutrition program and you cheat
and don't follow it then that means you broke that promise right?

Same thing as when you got married or dating someone exclusively and decided to cheat
on him/her.

tw-no-cheating-480-main_full

Guess what you did?

Yes you guessed it, you broke your promise.

Now I completely agree that they are of total different magnitude.

tw-cheating-main_full

But are they?

You see they are way different at the conscious level.

I mean cheating on your spouse and having some Doritos while you are dieting is definitely not the same.

But at the subconscious level (which is the most important) all you have done is broke a promise
and didn't do what you said you were going to do.

tw-woman-thinking

Remember your subconscious is where your body stores all your programming.

And believe me you don't ever want to install a program that says:

"It's OK not to follow through"

or

"It's OK to break your promise"

The problem with cheating or breaking your promise is that once you do it and cross that line
it becomes easier and easier to do it again.

tw-cross_line-495x371

I hate to say it once I heard about Tiger Woods having an affair I knew that it wasn't going
to be only one.

(Although around women I always stick up for him and say he is innocent) wink wink to protect the mankind lol

The same thing applies to someone once they cheat on their diet.

Once they start and cross that line then it's a lot easier to cheat again and again.

Have you ever seen anyone just have on chip, or just one piece of candy.

The point that I am trying to get across is that try your best not to break any promises that you have made to yourself and others.
You see every time that you break a promise it sends a message to your subconscious mind that it's OK not to follow through with
your word.

There are consequences to face on either side……………..of the fence…..

Consequences of Cheating…….

Again I really believe that the magnitude of the two are few and far between but each can have a great impact on your life.

I just like to get you thinking!!

My apologies if I have offended some of you or possibly hit a sore spot!!

But hey……..

I GOT YA THINKING

didn't I!!  huh??

My best goes out to all of you so please at any degree or magnitude

STOP  CHEATING  IT  IS  BAD  ALL  AROUND!!!!

AND IF YOU DID CHEAT, OWN IT & FIX THE PROBLEM.

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!!

And in my opinion your word is all you got in this world.

tw-psst

If your word doesn't mean anything then what is that saying about you?

Press Release from Tiger Woods

tw-tiger-woods-family1

December 2. 2009

Woods released a statement on his website today, apologizing for his transgressions in the aforementioned matters. I hope Woods' family will be able to work things out, with he and his wife remaining married, taking care of their children. Do not let this scandal get the best of you.

Tiger comments on current events

By Tiger Woods 12/02/2009 - I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.
