Dear Friends,
October is nearly here, and the change of seasons is definitely in the air. The rain this morning was cool and crisp, and there was no doubt that it was announcing the coming autumn.
Time seems to rush by quickly this time of year. The first Wednesday of October is almost here, and as always, you can begin purchasing from the online store for your 10% discount as early as midnight Sunday.
Another thing to consider, as we start to get less and less sunlight every day, is your vitamin D level. Vitamin D is a vitally important nutrient, linked to the body's ability to stave off infections, illness, and, as mounting evidence indicates, many forms of cancer. The body produces vitamin D from absorbed sunlight, but at our longitude, there isn't enough sunlight for much of the year to produce adequate amounts of vitamin D. Most people benefit from some form of supplementation, based on individual need. Your doctor can prescribe a simple blood test to discover your vitamin D level, called D-25 Hydroxy. With that information in hand, feel free to call my office at (914) 242-0124 and get my recommendation for proper supplementation.
I hope you have a healthy and happy October!
Sincerely,
Dina Khader, MS, RD, CDN
