Vitamin D

Do you feel feel blue a lot of the time? The link between Vitamin D deficiency and depression could be the key to helping you beat the blues… naturally.

Could low Vitamin D levels be contributing to your depression? What makes vitamin D unique is that it is a vitamin and also a hormone your body can make from the sun. Despite the ability to get vitamin D from food and the sun, an estimated 40%-75% of people are deficient.

How Much Vitamin D Do You Need?

Bone health was the single focus of the Institute of Medicine’s recommendations on how much vitamin D and calcium people should get.

The recommendations for adults up to age 69 rose to 600 IU/day, and to 800 IU/day for adults starting at age 70. Older adults need more vitamin D because as they age, their skin does not produce vitamin D efficiently, they spend less time outdoors, and they tend to not get enough vitamin D.

How Much Is Too Much?

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Fat-soluble vitamins can build up in the body and are not as easily excreted as water-soluble vitamins. The IOM committee set a level of 4,000 IU as the ‘tolerable upper limit’ or the maximum amount that is safe to consume daily.

Here’s a great chart that breaks it down by everything you needed to know on the impact of Vitamin D.

3rd Annual Kids’ Yoga Day

I am an official ambassador for the 3rd Annual Kids’ Yoga Day, to be held on Friday, April 6th. Kids’ Yoga Day (KYD) is an international event meant to raise awareness and ignite a passion for fitness and yoga for as many children as possible.

On Friday, April 6th, 2018 at schools, homes, yoga studios, and child care organizations throughout the world, hundreds of official ambassadors, plus countless others who are following along at home, will lead students through a simple 5 minute yoga routine.

Last year on Kids’ Yoga Day, over 115,000 children participated in all 50 states and 45 countries, and this year promises to be even bigger! This is a no-cost special event to schools, child care organizations, etc.

Benefits of yoga for kids: Simple yoga postures have been proven to help kids deal with the overstimulation of today’s technology-based world. Yoga has been practiced for over 5,000 years and helps kids of all abilities stay calm in the face of stress, increase focus and concentration, develop discipline, get physical activity, create healthy habits and the list goes on!

How will it work? On Friday, April 6th, all the classes will perform the simple yoga sequence at the same time, either in their individual classrooms, or all together. The routine was designed by Teresa Power, an internationally recognized expert on children’s yoga and the author of the best-selling and award-winning books The ABCs of Yoga for Kids and The ABCs of Yoga for Kids: A Guide for Parents and Teachers. The ABCs of Yoga for Kids line of products has sold over 250 thousand copies worldwide in 4 languages.

You can visit our official Kids Yoga Ambassador page for all locations participating in such a great event at Kids’ Yoga Day.

Our Healthy Kids Education organization along with Lifestyle Health Mentor will be providing healthy treats and waters for all the children participating on Kids Yoga Day.

We hope you will join us in such a valuable event to raise awareness and ignite a passion for fitness and yoga for as many children as possible.
