Earlier today, a friend shared that 2000IU VITAMIN D literally changed his life - immediately - and that he felt so much BETTER!! His mood boosted, brain function improved, and increased energy overall! ALL CANADIANS MUST SUPPLEMENT! Newborns to seniors.... 12 months of the year. ... We know that it is important for a healthy immune response, mental health, anti-cancer protection, and healthy aging! 20% of Canadians are actually deficient, and 80% of Canadians have sub optimal levels. Why do you Canadians have such low levels of vitamin D? Low sun exposure and use of sunscreen Absorption decreases with age Lower levels found in overweight individuals Low cholesterol levels impact absorption, and reduced absorption with statin medication use Insufficient vitamin D in the food, No gallbladder, so absorption of fats is impaired Magnesium is low, reducing Vitamin D uptake Vitamin D supplementation should always be in the D3 cholecalciferol form! What FOODS have Vitamin D? It is highest in fish, egg yolk, meats and fortified foods. We need to eat these foods, but also supplement with Vitamin D for prevention of illness and chronic disease. DIABETES - Optimal vitamin D levels in children offer protection against the development of DIABETES! And supplementing with vitamin D3 has been shown to result in significant reduction in daily insulin dose! MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Is more prevalent in countries with higher latitudes such as Canada, suggesting that vitamin D may play a role in the pathogenesis of MS! INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE (Crohn’s and Colitis) individuals are more prone to vitamin D deficiency due to absorption issues! DO YOU TAKE D? I do.

In Canada, HEART DISEASE is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of hospitalization. The likelihood of death increases as the disease progresses and symptoms become more severe. Early detection and management of conditions such as hypertension and high cholesterol can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Ischemic heart disease is higher among men than women in all age groups. Men with diagnosed ischemic heart disease and heart failure or 20...% and 10% respectively more likely to die, on average, then women. Women who had a heart attack or 30% more likely to die on average than men. As women live longer than men, they are more likely to be diagnosed with a heart condition in old age. #vancouvernaturopathicconference #drRomiRainaND #virtualCE How do you protect your cardiovascular system?

CHRONIC SLEEP DEPRIVATION (getting 5h or less sleep every night over an extended period of time) Increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and quadruples risk of stroke.

What are your secrets for great sleep?

This is a weekend of Continuing Education, but virtually this time! 8-6 online learning, and enjoying my time with Dr. Julie Wyatt ND and the comfort of the cabin! Work and play... keeping life in balance. Topic this weekend - mental health.

Elderberries! I am out riding the back roads, harvesting and drying my berries for the immune supportive elderberry tonic. How do you spend your time in nature? This is one of my favourite ways... the medicine cabinet is all around us. Just don’t ask me where my bushes are, it’s a secret! But the Wainfleet bog provides!

The beautiful wild BLUEBERRY! Picked from the sun warmed Canadian Shield rocks and enjoyed in spelt pancakes with local maple syrup. Adding berries to your daily diet is more delicious when fresh harvested - field to table. Mother nature’s vitamins!

Consider getting a CSA veggie box this summer! #beeinspiredfarms #meierfamilyorganicfarm
