No one can care or know more about your body than you do.
The past year has shown how each of us is unique, and that it is a good idea to learn what will promote individual physical and mental health.
We’re building a community of people who are looking for more healing and less need for healthcare.
The Functional and Integrated medicine community has known about the importance of Vitamin D for many years. Every month for the past couple years, we have learned more and more about how important it is. During January, I will frequently give more information on the magnificence and importance of this (not really a ) Vitamin.
If you don't know your Vitamin D level, you don't know if you are deficient. (protip: it is likely that you are deficient).
To supplement wisely, you need to know about the absorption and interaction of Vitamin D, as well as your baseline level.

Help your body take care of you by drinking enough water; if you have a persistent cough, an accessible, economical treatment is being well hydrated.
Think of the cilia in your respiratory tract as hairs that protect your lungs. They work best when well hydrated- your body uses the water you drink to hydrate essential parts, including the cilia.
There are other things that can help, but reaching for water first, before things get severe can be a good idea.
Our bodies have great abilities to adapt to too much or too little water; because of this, we can be complacent and not notice when improving the quality or having a glass of water instead of a different beverage can improve how we feel. Filtered water in a glass or stainless water bottle is healthier than a plastic bottle.
If you are feeling hungry, listless or tired, have a big glass of water and notice if you feel better, there's a good chance it will help.
