Vitamin D is one of the only vitamins that is naturally produced by the body, however this only happens when we are exposed to sun for an adequate amount of sunlight. Generally about one hour a week should be enough. As we age, we tend to produce less vitamin D even with a certain amount of vitamin D.Vitamin D contributes to joint and bone health as it helps with the absorbtion of calcium. It can slow the affects of arthritis and lessen back pain. It has been known to prevent certain types of cancer such as breast cancer. People of color do not absorb the same levels of vitamin D as the rest of the population due to the high melanin content in the skin. (Melanin is what gives the dark color in the skin).One of the results is that people of color have a 500% increase in breast and cancer rates over the rest of the population and they are not being educated about this fact.Some sources of Vitamin D are:cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel, tuna fish, sardines, fish, egg (vitamin D is in egg yolk), beef liver.Soul Purpose's inclusion of vitamin D in its products fills this gap for our beloved customers. We are committed to the health and well-being of our customers and want them to feel great as well as smell great.Imagine Life...Be Empowered...Live on PURPOSE!

You know ladies, I was just thinking how we take care of everyone in the world first before ourselves. Our careers, our families, our extended families, our friends. What do we do for us?I have recently started a monthly program among my friends by having them host a "Just for me" day. During this time we have girl talk, we pamper ourself and it's funny. I find that most of us do not take time out to enjoy pampering ourselves.We haven't taken time to smell the roses. We don't have a clue on the next best thing that is healthy for us. Don't even talk about what our plan B is. Most of us don't even have plan A.What about the men? Most of us have just plain old settled. Settled for men that not only don't suit us the Queens we are, but we take so much mess off of them.I also learned that there are so many women that are in just plain unhealthy relationship. We I don't know if I am on a track here with starting girl power up again. But I have a mission to get all my sister involved in spending some quality time for just you.If you are in my area and like to get together for some REAL Pampering Girls Time. Look me up. Meanwhile enjoy my complimentary virtual spa online. www.virtualspa.moonfruit.comWhat our "Just For Me' Day involves:Organic hand treatment with silk most of the ladies say, "they can't stop touching themselves" after using it. We follow this with a shea body balm treatment.Moving on to the relaxation: The ladies soak in my therapeudic 100% detoxifying Dead Sea Salt soak. While soaking they enjoy some spa music, wine and a relaxing eye pillow treatment. They don't want to walk up. There is no screaming children around calling your name. "Just For Me' time is just that, just for me.If you would like to get a sample or order these items, please go to my website: www.debsoulpurpose.moonfruit.comRead more…
