Fitku: Vitamin D Fix
The Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun, and the seasons ebb and flow. As springtime heads into full swing and we begin to anticipate summer, I am reminded of why my body craves this weather so much. Sunshine provides vitamin D, which provides us with what we need for muscle and bone strength, improved immunity and cancer-fighting.And so begins my sunshine-inspired Fitku:
Sun: nourish body
Rejuvenate the spirit
Refresh soul and mind
Ahhhhhh . . . vitamin D anyone?
