Shopping for your health – Vitamin D

So I was SO excited this weekend – still am!

For three years, ever since I started studying the importance of vitamin D and health, I’ve been dreaming of owning my own home tanning bed.  Seriously.  When I was in high school the place where I worked had one and my aunt also owned one but I never thought I’d want one for myself until I realized the potential for not only a nice looking tan in the middle of winter but also the great health benefit of getting Vitamin d naturally by using one.

Well, this weekend hubby broke down and got me one for my birthday!  Whoo hoo!  It’s not a “bed” but a door mounted UVA/UVB tanner for the whole body.

Ain’t it purdy?

Ok, maybe not.  But it’s a fabulous piece of machinery.  Just 10 minutes or so a day and I’ll get far more vitamin d benefit than any pill other source.  My body will be making it naturally just like it does when I go out in the sun on a spring day.

Sigh… bliss.

Anyway, watch for more posts on this wonderful product and my thoughts on using it in the coming weeks. I’m so excited!
