All of us see ourselves at different points on the illness-wellness continuum. There are many degrees of wellness and it is always changing in each of us.
Dr. John Travis developed the illness-wellness continuum. “Wellness is a process, never a static state”. Besides the obvious contributors to good health; exercise, good nutrition and health practices. We need to remain aware of the importance of a holistic approach.
Pay attention to how you feel. Are you moody, bored, discontent, depressed, under stress. Each impacts your immune system and may impact your choices, from harmful health, dietary or lifestyle choices.
Where do you sit on the Continuum?
Don’t sit in the neutral. Always try to maintain health and lifestyle practices that move you toward High Level Wellness 😊

Vitamin D Health Benefits ✅Vitamin D is distributed to receptors located within cells throughout your body. Vitamin D plays a major role in metabolizing calcium and improving key nutrient absorption such as vitamins A and C; strengthening immunity, cardiac, and neurological function; and, ultimately, gene expression. ✅Vitamin D influence or switches on as many as 2000 genes, triggering elevated levels of the feel-good hormones endorphins and serotonin.
Vitamin D Deficiency ⚠️According to published studies as many as 77 percent of Americans have insufficient levels of vitamin D in their bodies. In Canada that number would likely be higher due to the northern latitude
Healthy Vitamin D Levels and D Supplementation ⚠️Although getting vitamin D from 🔆sun exposure 🔆to large body surfaces is best, in the winter months when UV intensity is low and we are mostly covered by warm clothing, supplementation is required. An average of 2,000 I.U. of vitamin D per day is recommended. ⚠️Even though certain foods contain vitamin D like wild salmon, mackerel, herring, cod liver oil, eggs. These foods provide good nutrition, but only provide between 200-1,000 I.U of vitamin D per serving … Not enough to meet overall vitamin D requirements. ⚠️Make sure to use good source vitamin D supplements throughout the winter months if you live in northern climates with minimal to no useful sun for vitamin D absorption. I like liquid form rather than capsules… do your research. Vitamin D supplements are relatively inexpensive. ✅Don’t let this very critical vitamin/hormone become deficient ✅. #vitamind
