LOOKING TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH? CONSIDER GETTING A CAT

Image

A fuzzy feline can actually make you healthier and happier among their many other positive effects.  Check out these benefits of welcoming a purring furball into your home. Cats can make you happier Research shows that cats make people happier.  In  one study , 87 percent of cat owners reported that their kitties had a positive impact on their wellbeing, while 76 percent reported being better able to cope with daily life because of their cat.

Image
  Go to bed. Toss, turn … zzzz. Wake up … toss, turn … zzzz. Wake up … toss, turn … zzzz. Sound familiar? You’re not getting enough sleep, and that’s  not healthy . Plus, it can make you really cranky (Get your own coffee!). Here are a few tips to help you get more sleep. Keep it quiet Snoring sleep partners? Noisy traffic? Loud neighbors or roommates? Consider a white noise machine or a loud fan to drown out the racket and whir you to sleep. You could also investigate soundproof curtains to keep the outside noise outside and  carpeting to muffle noise from below. And rearrange your bedroom to place your bed the farthest away from any noise sources. The lowest cost solutions are earplugs and having a friendly but direct conversation with your neighbors about being considerate.

Why is vitamin D so important? Vitamin D enables normal mineralization of your bones,  supports normal function of the cardiovascular system and contributes to the normal function of the immune system. † Reports actually suggest that over half of the world’s population suffers from a deficiency of vitamin D. “The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the general population is significant in many regions of the globe,” says Alli Klosner, a clinical research scientist for Nutrilite. “Very few foods in nature contain vitamin D, and most of us don’t get enough sunlight to provide us with the vitamin D our bodies need.” Sources of vitamin D Sunshine generates vitamin D in your skin.  The National Institutes...
