Travelling as often as I do, it’s easy to start feeling under the weather. Feeling tired from all the walking around and exploring. Spending extended time in airports and airplanes. keeping my immune system strong is super important to me. My secret is supplementing my vitamin D intake. Simple as that!
for most people you ask they will tell you that “I don’t need to supplement Vitamin D, I get all I need from the sun”. The truth is if you are covering up and wearing sunscreen to protect yourself from cancer causing UV rays you are also blocking your bodies ability to make vitamin D from the sun. On top of that there are only a few food sources that contain this nutrient-making it especially important that you obtain enough vitamin D by taking a daily supplement. My supplement of choice is Jamieson Vitamin D3 Tablets, they are inexpensive and are available at most pharmacies as well as grocery and health food stores. So what do these Vitamin D3 supplements do for you?
- Helps support a healthy immune system and bone health
- Helps the absorption of calcium and phosphorus
- Helps maintain overall health
- D3 is the same vitamin D produced by our bodies whereas D2 is derived from mushrooms
I have been paying more attention to my supplements and overall health. Especially since I’m now in my mid 30’s (Although I wish I had started paying attention a bit sooner). Not so fun fact: 1 in 3 Canadians in Winter, and 1 in 4 in the Summer are vitamin D deficient and are not getting optimal levels of vitamin D! Crazy right?! The biggest reasons why Vitamin D is so important is the tremendous support it provides to both bone health and immune function.
As you all know I LOVE TO TRAVEL, and I just can’t afford to get sick. There is nothing I hate more than getting sick while I’m away trying to do what I love. Although I generally take the Jamieson Vitamin D3 Tablets, Sometimes you want something a bit more portable that you can just throw into your bag. I normally carry Jamieson Vitamin D Spray in my camera bag.
