10 Signs You May Have a Vitamin D Deficiency ..............
The good news is exposure to sunlight can make up the difference that your diet alone doesn’t provide.
It is important to note that sunscreen will prevent your skin from absorbing Vitamin D from the sun and this is just one reason the Vitamin D deficiency rates are climbing.
A vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed because its symptoms can mimic other ailments. It is important to become aware of what may lead to a vitamin D deficiency so you can ask the right questions of your wellness provider.
There are studies that support the use of sunscreen and studies that support the need for some skin exposure to the sun. For the purpose of this article, just know that always using sunscreen while outside may actually lead to a vitamin D deficiency.
A vitamin D deficiency might be common but it is relatively easy to get under control. Just know that more vitamin D is not always better. Higher than recommended vitamin D levels do not show any benefits and, in fact, can lead to premature hardening of the arteries.
The best course of action, if vitamin D is a concern, is to consult your wellness provider. Becoming aware of your vitamin D levels is important and will help you devise a nutrition plan that will support your overall health goals.

A vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed because its symptoms can mimic other ailments. It is important to become aware of what may lead to a vitamin D deficiency so you can ask the right questions of your wellness provider.
Here are 10 signs you may have a vitamin D deficiency.
1. You are overweight.
Your body fat collects vitamin D, so your body can process it into its usable form. The more fat you carry, the more vitamin D you will need.2. You have high muscle mass and low body fat.
Similar to being overweight, too little body fat hinders your body’s ability to collect the necessary amounts of vitamin D, this time because you don’t have an adequate body fat supply.3. You have dark skin.
The pigment in your skin acts as a natural sunscreen preventing your body from absorbing vitamin D from the sun. The darker the skin, the more pigment in the skin which means more time in the sun is needed to produce adequate levels of Vitamin D.4. You’re over 50.
As you get your older your skin doesn’t produce as much vitamin D from exposure to the sun and your kidneys are not as efficient in converting it for use in the body.5. You are experiencing aches and pains.
A vitamin D deficiency works against calcium getting to your skeletal system and as such might be the cause of some of your common aches and pains.6. You sweat excessively from your head.
A sweaty head is often one of the first and classic signs of a vitamin D deficiency.7. You live in a geographic location with long periods of darkness.
If you live in the extreme north or south, and there are long periods without sunlight or your exposure to the sun is limited, be aware that your vitamin D levels may be suffering. This might also be one explanation for the prevalence of certain conditions in certain geographic regions.8. You are experiencing a decrease in mood.
A study stated that exposure to the sun and bright lights have a direct correlation to elevated mood levels. It found that the participants with the lowest levels of vitamin D were eleven times more likely to show signs of depression.9. You suffer from digestive problems.
Digestive problems can affect your body’s ability to absorb fat that directly impacts your levels of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D.10. You are never outside without sunscreen.
There is a conflict with many regarding sunscreen and vitamin D. Should you expose your skin to the sun or use sunscreen which will prevent vitamin D absorption?There are studies that support the use of sunscreen and studies that support the need for some skin exposure to the sun. For the purpose of this article, just know that always using sunscreen while outside may actually lead to a vitamin D deficiency.

Here Is What You Need To Check Next Time You Buy Bottled Water ... IMPORTANT !
When buying bottled water, you must check the bottom of the bottle,
in order to protect your health and environment. At the bottom of every
plastic bottles and containers there are recycling symbols. These
symbols are used to identify the type of plastic and recyclability of
the product. The symbol is a number, ranging from 1 to 7, within a
triangle. Using this recycling symbols, you can identify the safety of
the plastic. There are several types of plastics – some being safer than
others. Plastic bottles that are marked with the numbers 2, 4 and 5 are
the safer choices.
Below are 7 common recycling symbols and their meanings:
Number 1 Plastics — PET or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate)
It is most commonly used plastic found in water bottles and soft drinks bottles. This type of plastic is intended for one time use. PETE plastic should not be reused because cleaning detergents and high temperatures can cause chemicals to leach out of the plastic into the water. These chemicals can have a significant effect on our health. Recycling rates of this plastic is relatively low (around 20 percent).
Number 2 Plastics — HDPE (high density polyethylene)
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum. HDPE is hard, opaque and can remain unaffected by high temperatures. This plastic practically releases no chemicals, therefore no health concerns for consumers. These bottles are highly recommended by experts when buying bottled water. HDPE plastics also have one of the highest recycling rates.
Number 3 Plastics — V (Vinyl) or PVC
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer. These type plastic is commonly found in window cleaner and detergent bottles, shampoo bottles, cooking oil bottles. Plastic bottles labeled with 3V or PVC is highly hazardous and should be avoided. It discharges 2 toxic chemicals that influence the hormones in body. These type of plastics are rarely recycled.
Number 4 Plastics — LDPE (low density polyethylene)
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from petroleum. It can be found translucent or opaque. It is commonly found in squeezable bottles. These plastics does not release any substances or chemicals harmful for our health. Recycling rates of this plastic is low.
Number 5 Plastics — PP (polypropylene)
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer. It is strong, tough, has a high heat resistance and low moisture intake. It is regarded as one of the “safest” plastics produced today. PP is generally found in squeezable bottles, syrup bottles, ketchup bottles, bottle caps, straws and medicine bottles. This plastic is gradually becoming more accepted by recyclers.
Number 6 Plastics — PS (polystyrene)
Polystyrene (PS) is a petroleum-based plastic. Polystyrene is widely used in packaging materials and insulation. It is commonly found in disposable plates and cups, egg cartons, carry-out containers, aspirin bottles, compact disc cases. This type of plastic is difficult to recycle and also been shown to release dangerous toxins over time into anything packaged in it.
Number 7 Plastics — PC (Polycarbonate) or non-labeled plastic
It is the most dangerous plastic in the food production which releases BPA chemicals and it is often used in the production of 3-5 gallon water bottles and food containers. This plastics have traditionally not been recycled.
