Get your Vitamin D in 15 minutes a day!

Most of us in the U.S. are Vitamin D deficient from living and working indoors most of the daylight hours. I know I was and Vitamin D deficiency is a major contributor to a host of illnesses including osteoporosis. I actually reversed my osteoporosis by getting an adequate supply of Vitamin D alone (without harmful drugs.) Now with Spring here and Summer fast approaching, we can all get our daily dose with 15 minutes of sunshine a day without sunscreen.

Speaking of sunscreen, did you know that some of them can do more harm than good? Read Nature Mom's Blog to find out which ones to buy. And remember all you need to keep insects at bay safely is just a few drops of Lemon Eucalyptus oil mixed with water in a spray bottle.

Happy Summer!

SPIDERS!

I ran across Nature Moms Blog while doing research on how to discourage spiders to stay outside naturally and found much more. It's been added to my Favorites and I've subscribed to her RSS feed. Check it out and you may do the same.

Healthy Child, Healthy World

This website, Healthy Child, feeds my passion for making a difference in keeping children safe and healthy. My loved ones are patient recipients of books and flowing streams of information. It's infuriating to find out how for the love of money, we are all being slowly poisoned. But we can make a difference by educating ourselves, making the changes we can, and by spreading the word. Read about the Kid-Safe Chemicals Act. Going Green is not about hugging trees so much as it is about hugging kids and each other.

Another great source of information is The Environmental Working Group.
