Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D?

Health & Fitness,

If you work indoors and wear sunblock regularly, you’re doing a good job of protecting yourself from skin cancer, but chances are you could have some level of vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D deficiency is common among all age groups, and it’s estimated that 1 billion people worldwide have inadequate levels (it’s recognized as a pandemic!). Additional factors such as dark skin, low HDL cholesterol (“good cholesterol”), low dairy consumption, and obesity also increase the risk of vitamin D deficiency.

Yoga Benefits

Health & Fitness, ,

Does it seem like everyone you know is doing yoga? Well, not everyone, but the numbers are rapidly rising—and with good reason.

Yoga is a form of exercise that nearly anyone can do, with very little equipment, and it improves strength, balance, flexibility and overall physical and mental well-being.

A newly released study shows that the number of U.S. yoga practitioners has increased to more than 36 million, up from 20.4 million in 2012. That's one in every nine people. Wow! Most (almost three-fourths) of yoga practitioners are women, but men and older people are trying yoga in increasing numbers.

The 2016 Yoga in America Study, conducted by Ispos Public Affairs on behalf of Yoga Journal and Yoga Alliance, shows that more than one-third of Americans (80 million people) say they are likely to try yoga for the first time in the next 12 months. That means I'd better get to class early and stake out my space.
