Winter is here and during this time of year, we get less sun.  It becomes a fight when the winter blues get to us and we need to stay healthy.  There is a way to beat it with the power of the Vitamin D!

As the sun hides behind the clouds, it’s crucial to understand the importance of this essential nutrient. 

Vitamin D can:

• boost your mood
• strengthen your immune system
• support bone health
• improve muscle function
• enhance cognitive functions
• regulate blood sugar levels
• promote cardiovascular health
• maintain healthy skin
• help with weight management

Other than the sun, there are several foods that are good sources of Vitamin D. Some examples are

• Salmon, tuna and mackerel
• You can also find Vitamin D in fortified dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese
• Egg yolks
• Mushrooms
• Fortified cereals
• Supplements

It’s very important to keep motivated this winter, mental health is paramount and winter blues can be really hard to battle.  If it gets harder, remember, Us Coaches are one call away to always listen and help you through the hard times!
