Sunshine

Rising or setting, sun makes the world go around. What does it mean? What does it provide? It is the promise of a new day. It provides heat, happiness, and hope. It elevates your mood and your body temperature. For some it is too much, for me it will be enough. Sun comes up and it makes the day brighter, emotionally it shines inward and outward. Lots of people complain about how they feel throughout the winter or just too many rainy or cloudy days. It isn’t just seasonal depression it provides an essential vitamin D. Those that know what I am talking about, I feel you.

One of my kids endocrinologist for diabetes suggested taking vitamin D3. They said those that live in parts of the world with less sunlight actually had an increased risk of diabetes, so D3 is recommended to slow that process. So D3 and B100 was a part of my daily regime for 2 years, all the blood work collected during those two years for myself had me in tip top shape. Can’t fight with that!

Like many things, do we follow doctors recommendations to a T. No, we do not. My own doctor always encouraged natural things. When I wanted to lose weight she suggested following Canada’s food guide and increasing activity. I was not impressed, I wanted something easy… no such thing. We have to be proactive to reach our optimum health. Unfortunately genetics come into play and all of your history follows you. Right from the beginning. The years that you abused that temple you live in, does factor in.

Your sleep, eating, habits all matter. You are accountable to yourself. We are not perfect( gasp) . There is no magic, no easy fix. Absorb your sunshine, surround yourself with happiness. Accept that we can’t erase the damage we have done. Work through things that are hurting you. Look after you, ask for help and take the help. You are a package all the inner workings work together. Forgive what you done wrong, look forward!
