Vitamin D and Sunshine

We all know that we need a little vitamin D in our daily lives and now that summer is upon us that is going to be easier!

Vitamin D comes from sunshine (not just milk) and now is the best time to absorb some. But it is important to remember that you don't need to get a sun burn to make sure you get the proper amount of vitamin D. Just 5 minutes of sunlight every day is more than plenty.

So enjoy the sunshine and it's many benefits, but remember that sunscreen is important for skin health. Have a great summer!

Laugh this spring!

As it turns out humor really is infectious. The sound of laughter is actually contagious. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. Laughter triggers healthy physical changes in the body such as strengthening your immune system, boosting your energy, diminishing pain, and protecting you from the damaging effects of stress. So laugh out loud, who cares if people think its crazy. I know I don't!
