How Much Sun Do I Need?

For the past 30 years we have consistently sold the message ‘Sun = Bad’ and that less sun = better health.

We’re told to cover up, lather up with sunscreen and avoid the sun if we want to protect ourselves from cancer.

A recent 20-year study following 29,518 women has called this into question. The research – based in Sweden – found that the women avoiding sun exposure were twice as likely to die from ‘all causes,’ as compared to women who didn’t practice sun-avoidance.

Ok, let me be totally honest… I’m not perfect and there’s plenty of days that I forget to take my supplements, but most days I take 3 essential supplements…

Can you guess which daily supplements I take?

You’ll have to watch this week’s episode to find out if you guessed correctly! 🙂

And let me be clear, I think most supplements that people take are a waste of money. I’m an advocate for eating a healthy diet and ONLY using supplements to fill the gaps where today’s food falls short.

Do you take supplements regularly? Which ones? Please comment below and let me know!

Let’s be clear:  Health does NOT come from a bottle.

No matter how compelling the advertising or convincing the stories, there are no magic pills or super potions that magically make you healthy.

In a perfect world, the best source for all your nutrient requirements is from real food.  Whether its macro-nutrients (protein, fat, carbs) or micro-nutrients (vitamins & minerals) you are always going to be better off satisfying those requirements with real food.

But…

It’s been almost 3 years since we launched the Life By Design program at The Wellness Group!  Wow, time flies!

As we reflect on the past 3 years what excites us the most is the tribe of families in our community that have adopted these principles, are living By Design, and as a result are healthier than ever.

If you’ve been around us, even for a minute, then you know that we’re all about getting even better, about never ending improvement, and about constantly looking for new strategies to help us fulfill the requirements for health.

So as all of us at The Wellness Group sat down to make our plan for 2014, our main focus was to come up with some new and even better ways to help you take that next step with your health and not only feel better, but have more energy, become more fit, be more productive and happier than ever.
