Just another story from a recent patient’s experience with making the right changes to help reduce some of the health issues she was suffering from. High blood pressure, diabetes, joint pain and insomnia do not have to run your life and can be handled in a relatively short period of time. It’s amazing what the body can do when you treat it with a little TLC!
“I will admit I was a little skeptical about trying the Wellness Plan with Dr. Evans. I was really struggling with being able to sleep and my joint pain almost had me at a halt with any type of physical activity. The last straw was being diagnosed with borderline diabetes and I just knew I had to try something different. I completed the 21-day purification program and could tell immediate results. My joint pain became almost non-existent. I was able to get a full night sleep and start my day with a lot more energy. My blood sugar levels fell down into a normal range. I think participating in this plan was one of the smartest moves I’ve made in a long time. It has definitely improved my overall quality of life. Dr. Evans was there to answer any questions and support me through the entire program. I can’t thank him enough for helping me turn my health around. Thanks Dr. Evans!
Thanks again Dr. Evans. I can really tell a difference when I’m eating right. I can even pinpoint which foods are contributing to my sleeplessness and my joint pain. I can’t thank you enough!”
There are many reasons to get outside and enjoy the day. It’s a beautiful day here in Atlanta and the perfect weather to get some sunlight. Vitamin D is more important than you may realize and plays a very important role in your overall health and wellness. For starters Vitamin D mostly enters the body from direct exposure in the sun. This means being outside and not just getting indirect sunlight through a window. This is the absolute best way. There are some foods that contain Vitamin d as well. Some people also benefit from a supplement containing vitamin d.
Vitamin d plays a very important role in the prevention of osteoporosis and bone disorders. Calcium and vitamin d work together to strengthen bone tissue and prevent fractures. Supplementing vitamin d must be monitored closely to avoid increasing levels too high. If the amount of vitamin d is not properly absorbed into the bone tissue and increases the amount in the blood problems can arise. Kidney damage and other symptoms of toxicity can develop. Combining vitamin d supplements with certain types of medications or other supplements can also be harmful.
Other benefits besides bone strength include cell growth, helping the immune system function and reduced inflammation. Very few foods contain vitamin d but there are many that become fortified to include it like dairy products and cereals.
A vitamin d deficiency can take months to reverse and the population group with the highest deficiency rate are seniors living in nursing homes. There should be no reason for a vitamin d deficiency but you will not hear much media attention given to this problem because there’s no drug to sell. Increasing levels is as easy as spending as little as fifteen minutes in the sun each day.
