Sitting out on my back deck this morning, soaking up a little vitamin D. There’s something about the feeling of the sun shining on your face and kissing your skin. It feels so good. And while it simply feels nourishing, vitamin D is doing so much more than we often realize. ☀️ It supports mood and serotonin. ☀️ It helps maintain strong, healthy bones—especially important as estrogen begins to decline in perimenopause and menopause, when our risk of osteoporosis increases. ☀️ It helps regulate our immune system and supports a healthy inflammatory response. ☀️ It also plays an important role in eye health. Sometimes supporting our bodies doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it's as simple as stepping outside, taking a deep breath, lifting your face to the sun, and allowing yourself a few quiet moments to receive what nature is already offering. How are you getting outside today?
