If you generate Vitamin D by being exposed to sunlight, then it makes sense that if you block those sun rays that you may not be making enough Vitamin D.
On the NY Times website, C. CLAIBORNE RAY, has written an article about this very topic. The article explains that you may in fact be blocking the UV rays that generate Vitamin D, but these harmful rays contribute to skin cancer and premature aging. But, one can get Vitamin D from eating foods like fatty fish and vitamin fortified milk and taking Vitamin D supplements!

If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning – once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment.
All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. It’s our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.
Brad Lamm is the author of the book, Just 10 pounds and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show. He is making a bus tour around the country to help spread the message that losing just 10 pounds can help you be healthier. In this news clip, he surprises a high school friend of his who has gained a lot of weight. She hasn’t seen him since high school and he shows up at her front door with a news crew and then goes in and looks at her refrigerator! Imagine!!!
Watch this clip and find out what the two commandments are that he gives her. These are things she must do right now to start on her journey to a healthier life.
If you are on the go like his friend in the news clip and need a quick snack, try Shaklee Cinch Shakes and Shaklee Cinch Bars like he mentioned in the clip.
I just want to wish you a very, happy New Year. I hope 2011 will be a fantastic year of health, happiness, and prosperity for you and your family.
I also want to say thank you to my Shaklee customers. Our family appreciates the opportunity to serve you by providing wellness information and products. But most importantly, we value your friendship. Over 18 years ago we began this business and over time many of you have become close friends.
I hope you didn’t gain weight over the holidays! But, if you did and you want to lose 10 pounds easily without dieting or doing extreme exercise, then you may want to try the Shaklee Cinch Loss Program. The starter kit is the best value if you want to try the products and have everything you need including meal plans.
Not to brag, but I didn’t gain the standard 5-8 pounds most Americans gain over the holidays. But, that’s because I Cinch EVERYDAY! Yes, everyday I make a Cinch protein shake which helps balance my blood sugars and keep me filling full until lunch time.
If you didn’t get a change to take advantage of our last special, Shaklee has an amazing new special for new members worth more than your membership fee!!!! In 18 years, I’ve never seen an offer this good!
According to a blog post at Science Daily a new twin study showed that eating a Mediterranean Style Diet may improve heart function. That’s good news! I love eating Mediterranean style foods.
When I was teenager, my mom had her first skin cancer. That’s when I began to take an interest in prevention. So for all of my adult life, I have been careful to observe safety tips. I’m the odd ball at the beach who hangs out early morning or early evening and NOT during mid-day.
My mom has had many battles with skin cancer including a partial nose replacement. She said she used to BAKE in the sun as a teenager. I’m thankful I could learn from her and have not had any skin cancer, but I am sad that others will suffer from this easily prevented disease.
I would like to add that one should not put too much confidence in sunscreen. You can still get burned! Read and follow directions carefully. Limited time in the sun is best.
But, there are some positives to sun exposure. We get our Vitamin D from the sun. I prefer to get mine from food supplements rather than risk it.
I recommend you read the following article by Edward Geehr, M.D., LifeScript’s Medical officer where he offers tips for preparing for the summer sun and reducing risk of skin cancer. Please protect yourself and your children from the harmful effects of the sun.
I just never dreamed I would try this, but since we’ve been adding more fresh, local vegetables to our dietswe needed an idea for turnips. Frank Mason of the Bluebird Market suggested we try Turnip Fries. Since my husband (AKA Pizza Doctor) is the main cook in our home, he got the recipe and tried it out. I was skeptical, but once I tried them…I was impressed.
We recently had a “Fresh and Local” dinner party and served them.
Pizza Doctor’s Recipe for Turnip Fries
Turnip Fries are doctored up from potatoes for a healthy alternative by the Pizza Doctor.
4 turnip roots, cut into strips (skins on)
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
seasoning (chipotle powder, paprika, pepper, and sea salt)
Wash turnips well. Slice and then cut slices into thin strips in the manner of a French Fried potato. Toss in extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and other seasonings of choice. Pan sear and gently stir fry over medium heat until the turnip is cooked through and soft. If you would like turnip fries crispy on the outside, just before removing from the pan, turn up the heat and stir as they brown. Season with your favorite seasonings. Optional: Serve with Crystal hot sauce or Heinz Ketchup.
Turnips are a “starch” vegetable, but provide only one third the amount of calories as
an equal amount of potatoes. Turnips provide an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber,
folic acid, manganese, pantothenic acid, and copper.
