Cultured Mom

cul·ture, cul·tured: -Characterized by mental and moral training; disciplined; refined; well-educated. -Educated, polished, and refined; cultivated **I think a lot of Moms get so busy with their families or other things in their lives that they miss out on a lot of important information. We still need to make a difference in the world we live in. In order to do that we must be informed. While this blog strives to be informative don't be surprised when I throw in some humor.**

It's That Time Of Year

Time to make sure you are getting enough sunlight.

Would you believe me if I told you that sunlight FIGHTS cancer? I am sure a lot of you would be shocked and think I was seriously mistaken. However, it is true. Getting enough sun means getting enough vitamin D. Without the vitamin D you are in for some problems. You should not get sun BURNS but getting enough sun on your skin will make you healthy. In addition, to avoiding cancer you can also fight the flu with vitamin D instead of needing the flu shot. There are 2 very interesting articles on this topic here and here. As you already know vitamin D helps prevent bone loss too.

I encourage you to read the articles above and make sure you and your family are as healthy as you can be. This is also a money saving thing! By getting the FREE sunshine you can avoid cancers and most likely the flu. That is a bargain in my book. Now, I just need that sun to come out.
