THE SUNSHINE VITAMIN
Feeling tired ALL THE TIME? No energy? Here’s a simple
solution: the sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D, also known
as the sunshine vitamin, is produced by the body as a
response to sun exposure. Having enough vitamin D is
important for a number of reasons, including:
• It brings calcium to your bones and teeth, helping to
protect you against bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
Its role in bone health is probably the best-known
vitamin D benefit.
• It regulates how much calcium stays in your blood,
contributing to heart health.
• It helps strengthen your immune system and regulate
cell growth.
Natural sources of vitamin D include egg yolks and
cold-water fish such as tuna, mackerel and salmon.
Many foods are fortified with vitamin D, including:
• Milk
• Margarine
• Yogurt
• Bread
• Breakfast cereals
• Orange juice
• Cheese
• Soy drinks
You need vitamin D to keep your bones healthy and
protect against osteoporosis. Most people get adequate
amounts of vitamin D from limited exposure to the sun
and through diet, but people who are inside all day
should consider taking dietary supplements. Consult
your doctor for an individualized recommendation for
how much is right for you.

NATIONAL SMILE POWER DAY
June 15 th is the day we observe National Smile Power Day. This is a day for everyone
to share the power of the smile.
From the good morning greeting and the first “How may I help you?” present yourself
with a smile. No matter where you are employed, job seeking, retired or looking
for new horizons, starting the day with a smile is certainly more empowering than
a pout or grump. Starting with a smile first is easier than trying to get there later
in the day.
When you smile at someone, you are telling them that they are valued and worth the
smile that you just gave them. Smiles are moral boosters and confidence builders.
Research has proven that smiling really does increase attractiveness and likability
between humans. Smiling creates a greater trust and increased interpersonal
cooperation. Smiling at someone can help them to relax and relieve their stress
while at the same time, it will make you feel right. Smiling (even if you do not feel
like it) will lift your mood and can make you a happier person.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Challenge yourself to smile more often today. Use a smile to disarm a tense situation
or simply smile during your daily tasks.
Use #SmilePowerDay on social media.
