Vitamin D: Improves Bone Density AND Helps Prevent Certain Cancers

Denver's distance from the equator makes us susceptible to Vitamin D deficiency during the non-summer months.
 
You probably know about the need for Vitamin D in maintaining bone density. In addition, recent studies support that Vitamin D supplementation may reduce the risk of colon and breast cancers by as much as 50%. However, the dose necessary to accomplish this may be up to 10 times, or more, greater than the current RDA guidelines. The dose suggested is about 2000 i.u.s of D3.  
 
What should you do?
1. Get outside and expose 40% of your skin without sunscreen for 15 minutes a day on sunny days.
2. Have your Vitamin D levels tested with a simple blood test. As I have said before, "To test is to know, and not to test is to guess!"
3. Sign up for your blood test on Thursday, September 11th at the front desk. Feel free to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to determine indicated tests just for you.

A Minute with Molly

Dare to Dream
Denver has arrived! How about that palpable DNC buzz around downtown this week? The city seemed to have a heartbeat of its own. What an incredible event and even better weather we had to showcase our beautiful city.
 
My wellness challenge to each of you this week reflects upon the words of Michelle Obama: "Stop doubting and start dreaming."
 
When you envision your best self, your personal picture for health, what does that vision look like? We at Pura Vida believe you can achieve any wellness goal you set for yourself; that the thing likely standing in your way is that lingering doubt. Our company vision statement is: In the pursuit of optimal wellness, we see unlimited possibilities. Do you doubt that you can achieve, or do you dare to dream? Visualize what is possible - come on, I dare you.
 
Have a healthy, fun, and safe Labor Day weekend!
