Quantum Vitamin D3: Natural Liquid Vitamin D Serum

Vitamin D vital for good health, yet do we get our requirements!

Vitamin D3: A natural source of Vitamin D3 in an Organic olive oil base is liquid sunshine!


After many years of harmful solvents used to extract Vitamin D3 from sheep’s wool, Quantum Nutrition Labs buck the trend and introduce a Solvent free, non-toxic, no additives, Excipient free form of natural form of Vitamin D3.



1 Drop=400IU. Servings per Bottle: 1500
Vitamin D3 main source comes from sunlight, the Sunshine Vitamin, produced when our skin is exposed to sunlight-the more sun we get during the less likely is the need for Vitamin D Supplementation. 

Exposing 80% of your body for 30 minutes during summer time will provide the body with all the Vitamin D it needs and requires. But despite this natural of all natural sources being readily available, Vitamin D deficiency is a major issue in many parts of the world, even those climates that get more sunshine.

Whether by sun avoidance, the over use of sun cream protection, some of which contain many toxic elements to them that prevent the body from making Vitamin D, a supplement of Vitamin D maybe required, more so during winter months or for example, those doing night shift work.
What better way to get what you need than from quantum labs, non-toxic, naturally sourced Vitamin D3 Liquid solution.



 

Vitamin D3: Functions and Benefits

Vitamin D is seen as vital to good every day health, with weekly research promoting it's many benefits, a few of these important contributions are:


  • Immune Function: Support body’s immune function
  • Bone Health: Important for Healthy bone formation, helping absorb calcium and phosphorous from the GI tract, facilitating both calcium uptake in bones and the proper regulation of blood calcium levels, important for normal blood clotting and a healthy nervous system
  • Endocrine Function: Needed for proper function of thyroid
  • Muscles: Helps build and maintain strong muscles. Helps maintain muscle function in elderly
  • Heart Health: Supports Cadiovascular function and healthy inflammatory response 
*According to the opinions of the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) - 
The daily vitamin D intake needed for 97.5 % of women aged >64 y to maintain a serum concentration of 25(OH)D above 50 nmol/L during winter is about 876 I.U. (21.9 µg).

*These generic health claims have been approved by the European Food and Safety Authority.
See www.efsa.europa.eu for details.

Nutrition Facts:Serving Size: 1 Drop (.04 ml) = 400IU

Exercise: A little everyday goes a long way

15-minutes of Daily Exercise should be the 'Starting point for Health'






What was it l was telling you about that exercise lark!

Now those expert researchers are agreeing with my simple, easy and effective approach to doing some exercise...and it seems we don't have to turn ourselves into world class Iron men or Olympic athletes to get the desired results!

As reported in the Lancet, researchers in Taiwan are highlighting that just 15 minutes, yes, that's right, just 15 minutes of exercise daily can potentially boost life expectancy by three years whilst cutting death risk by 14%.
Wow.......15 minutes, no real excuses for not doing that much surely from us all!

British researchers are at the same time pinpointing the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle...ie, lazy couch potato with six hours of TV a day potentially cutting expected lifespan by 5 years!

A serious wake up call if ever we need one if our motivation fails us daily to do our 15 minutes of exercise.
Our daily exercise for 15 minutes or more doesn't have to resemble and army training assault course or a Triathletes worse nightmare, but as highlighted by the Lancet, a review of more than 400,000 people in Taiwan, showed 15 minutes per day or just 90 minutes per week of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, can potentially add those extra years and help us look and feel better, physically and mentally.

15 minutes exercise per day does not need to be commando training!

 Those in the study felt the many benefits of simple 15 minute exercise regimes and after getting used to it ended up doing more than the daily amount and feeling much greater benefits, as highlighted by the researchers from the National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan, and China Medical University Hospital, every additional 15 minutes of daily exercise could further help reduce all-cause death rates by 4%.

As was highlighted by this Blogs earlier works, http://rayofsunshinenutrition.blogspot.com/2011/03/exercise-for-everyone-no-gimmicks-no.html ......................your regime could be as hard......or Just as simple as you, the Lancet and researchers around the world doing their 15 minutes like!
So get to it...it's really official now and not just me telling you!


The idea of 15 minutes of exercise may have you running for cover...but at least put your trainers on!




Energy for Exercise the Natural Way!

In the pursuit of good health hopefully comes better nutrition, which we can all now strive for to assist more balanced energy needs for our daily lives in general but also help to play a significant part in getting us all to achieve our health and fitness goals, which as a starting point should be 15+minutes of exercise per day.....a greater preventative measure against potential illness, disease and poor health.

As we all take on new advice and the pick of the latest research to change and adapt nutrition intake and fitness goals, many also think about supplementation use, short term or long term depending on needs and goals. To this end comes ground breaking research and development from America with a stunning range of natural Vitamin and Nutrient products from Premier Research Labs and it's UK and European arm, Quantum Nutrition Labs Europe. 


As we strive for that better balanced energy, a quality, natural energy boost comes from Quantum Max B, a unique, natural, Plant based, Probiotic sourced complete Vitamin B complex that delivers highly bio-available and active B Vitamins that are vital for human function and play a significant role in energy function and metabolism and help give us all that potential platform each day to get our minimum 15 minutes of exercise!

Improve Your Energy: Nutrition from Dusk till Dawn

No, not another enthusiastic but lame attempt to act by Tarantino, or Mr Clooney doing battle with Miss Hayek over some snakes and redneck vampires! 
Alas no, more a regular question from far and wide, be it the happy hard working postman l have seen for years past my parents house, or the tired check out girl at the supermarket, or the rushing business types in and out of Canary wharf, the lads playing five a side on a Tuesday night or the busy parents juggling kids and the weekly shop!

George's need of energy for vampire Killing is happily a unique one!

Just how do you keep up your energy levels to cope with all that comes our individual and collective way each and every day.....and still hopefully promote a somewhat peaceful and happy deep sleep.....before it starts all over again!
Well, simply, l try and do as much as this each day and see how l get on and adapt accordingly....yes, adapt accordingly, as we are all individuals and will all have different wants and needs.

When you need it....feed it!



Daily Nutritional Guidelines: Morning till Night.


Keep it Simple!

Good Diet = Healthy and Balanced: A diet providing adequate nutritional support for health and a healthy immune system.
Your diet should provide all the essential macro and micro nutrients required to promote and maintain good health.

Your diet should be rich in natural soluble fibre and complex carbohydrates as found in fruits, vegetables, grains and beans. Processed and highly refined foods such as microwave meals should be avoided.


INCREASE +


  • Your intake of whole grains. Try to vary grains to consume such as Brown rice, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat and quinoa all of which can replace much of your wheat intake. 
Try some wheat free Grains

  • Your intake of fruits and Vegetables using the Five-a-day’ message as your minimum, aiming for 8-10 portions per day.
A variety of fruit, especially berries

  • Your consumption of raw seeds providing essential fatty acids, (pumpkin, sesame, flax, sunflower etc) and nuts (pecan, walnut, pistachios, hazelnut, cashew, brazils, almond etc.) to 3 Servings per day.  These snacks SHOULD REPLACE confectionary, highly refined sugar snacks, biscuits or crisps. 
Certain nuts could be beneficial to health and a great snack

  • Your Intake of pulses and beans (lentils, chickpeas, haricot beans, black beans, Navy beans, Lima beans, and soybeans etc), to 3-4 servings per week.   *Men should consider avoiding soy and soy products as well as woman of child bearing age as it may cause fertility concerns.
Legumes, beans pulses great in salads, soups and stews

  • Your Intake of oily fish (herring, pilchards, wild salmon, trout etc.) to 2-3 servings per week).
Oily Fish such as Wild salmon & Mackerel




REDUCE –


 Turkey is an alternative to too much Red Meat
  • Your consumption of red meat (beef, lamb, perk) to 1-2 servings per week. Substitute with fish, lean free-range chicken or turkey, or vegetarian alternatives such as tofu or substitute with beans or lentils. 








  • Your Intake of saturated fats from meat and dairy
  • Your consumption of refined foods (white bread, pasta, rice flour, cakes, biscuits, pizza, sugar and confectionary).
  • Your intake of processed foods, frozen meals and Take-away food.
  • Your intake of tea and coffee. A useful way is to alternate glasses of water with cups of tea or coffee. Increase water intake up to 8 glasses per day (maximum 2 litres).
  • Your intake of alcohol
  • Your intake of surgery and carbonated drinks 
    Feeling Bloated through too much fizzy pop or excess alcohol


    AVOID –


    • All trans and hydrogenated fats.
    • Saturated fats in processed meats and all processed foods.
    • Adding salt to your food. Check packaging of food for added salt/sodium levels
    • Adding sugar to food and drinks where possible.
    • Carbonated drinks containing Phosphoric Acid, (potentially detrimental to bone integrity).
    Mountains of salt on your food not what the Dr ordered!

    CONSIDER !!
    • Reducing your intake of dairy produce (milk, cheese, yoghurt). Soya-based equivalents, or rice, almond or oat milk alternatives can be used for variety.
    Watch out for excess dairy intake

    ENSURE

    Lentils & pulses offer great food option
    • You include in your diet sufficient, high-quality protein from chicken, turkey, fish, pulses, legumes & lentils.
    • You include fibre to ensure a healthy digestive system. Avoid bran, as this can deplete your mineral levels. Good sources of fibre include whole grains, fruit, vegetables, beans, pulses, lentils, and oats.




    Blood Sugar Balance=Balanced Energy

    Blood Sugar Balance for Energy each Day will help us through our busy day at work place or home and provide the basis, along with adequate exercise to maintain a healthy weight, help with stress management and promote Better health and Well being.

    ·        Balanced Blood Sugar: Eating balanced meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner with appropriate snacks in between.

    ·        Fruits and vegetables: Increased fruits and vegetables 6-8 portions per day. Try a weekly large fruit salad that keeps in the fridge. Mixed berries, fresh (organic if possible) or frozen, use for breakfast or take into work.

    ·        Carbohydrates during the day: Try and consume good quality complex carbohydrates during the Breakfast period and Lunchtime to provide Energy throughout the day and essential B vitamins.

    Exercise for Everyone. No Gimmicks. NO GIMMICKS!

    Exercise Month:Simple and Effective..Oh, and cheap!


    Fresh Air, Vitamin D and Sensory overload outdoors
    It should be simple for us all to exercise, no expensive gym membership used once a year, no bulky fitness Equipment shoved into one corner of your spare bedroom or hidden at the back of your Garage, or covered in cobwebs in a conservatory or out house......just well fitting suitable training shoes, appropriate clothing, some water to drink and possibly a few other accompaniments depending on the time of year.




    Some simple exercise each day, or every day, even if just a simple but effective walk which l mentioned in an earlier blog post, http://rayofsunshinenutrition.blogspot.com/2010/11/walkdont-run.html "Walk..........................Don't run, can have an amazing affect on physical but also mental health and wellbeing.

    For me, having given up the gym 5 or so years ago now, getting out into the great outdoors for a run or a hearty walk, even if for just 20 minutes is better than anything any Gym session can offer.....in my humble opinion that is.

    National Trust Green Gyms
     
    So it was with great delight recently that the National Trust in the UK, the fine preservers and guardians of national countryside, coastline and historic buildings, were promoting a very simple outdoor fitness plan for all to try encompassing some stretching, running and Calisthenics with the aim to get more of us outdoors in the fresh air, whatever time of the year, becoming active and helping to improve our health.


    Warm up and stretching just as important outdoors


    With Research on the benefits of outdoor fitness having been highlighted by a team at the University of Essex, UK, lead by Dr Joe Barton, a sports specialist, and an exciting programme devised by British Outdoor training company, Eco Fitness;
    http://www.ecofitness.co.uk/index.html, the National Trust have thrown off the shackles of it's normal public perception and associations and come up with something that maybe very beneficial to many people when considering what exercise to do.

     
    Park, forest, hills, beach....where would you like to try it!


    Check out some of their plan and their outdoor health & fitness promotion!




    ******************************************************************************************************



    Outdoor gym – Exercise Plan

    Exercising outside is priceless, even at this time of year when many of us just want to stay inside and hibernate.

    Just five minutes in the outdoor gym every day can lead to an immediate improvement in mood and self esteem, as well as physical fitness.

    This 31 day plan has been designed to give you a real sense of enjoying the outdoors, freedom and refreshment to kick start the New Year (or Any time of the year) energised and invigorated.
    So, fill your lungs with fresh air and take in the sights and sounds of nature as you jog, skip, run, jump and lunge. While enjoying the outdoor gym you’ll discover a great fun way to burn fat, tone up, de-stress and improve your inner strength and stamina. By following the plan below, and eating healthily you should lose any Christmas weight-gain and feel mentally fitter too!

    Benefits:
    • Training outdoors can burn up to 20% more calories!
    • Outdoor workouts are even more challenging- due to working harder with uneven surfaces and the natural elements.
    • Outdoor training provides the perfect total body workout!
    • Training with the uneven surfaces improves your balance and core skills.
    • Provides us with essential vitamin D, which helps us maintain strong healthy bones, by retaining calcium, not forgetting a healthy glow!


    Why not exercise with friends


    Top tips for exercising outdoor include:

    • Wear plenty of layers. Training outside is unpredictable, the weather conditions change frequently. Wearing layers insulates the body and keeps you warm.
    • Be seen, be safe. Wear a high-vis jacket so others can see you.
    • Buddy up & train with a friend or family member and make exercise a social occasion too!
    • Carry a mobile phone at all times in case of emergency.
    • Be aware of your surroundings, the terrain, environment, wildlife & any livestock.
    • Water – drink plenty. Hydration is very important not only in the hot conditions but in the cold too.
    • Towel – training with a towel is a great tool, especially when it rains!
    • Gloves - will keep your hands warm and offer a little protection from the outdoor gym.
    • Take with you a Torch or head torch – if you’re training after work you don’t want to get caught out in the dark.
    Don’t be wet!

    Whatever the weather you can do some sort of activity and exercise. So if it’s raining, try not to be put off. Wearing the right clothing will mean you can still get outside and feel the benefit. It’s just a case of being prepared. You’ll still feel great afterwards.

    If it snows!

    Wrap up warm and keep active. The snow will bring a whole new dimension to your work out. If it snows during the winter months, adapt the plan accordingly:

    • walking in the snow is more challenging to your core
    • snowballing is great fun for all ages and a great upper body workout too
    • dust off the sledge, sledging up and down hills is the perfect way to burn calories

    Whatever the weather, dress appropriate and exercise anytime

    The plan

    Much of the activity below is based around walking, jogging and running.
    But, if you suffer from dodgy knees, have any hip or general joint problems, then we recommend trying Nordic Walking. It reduces the strain on joints by 30% plus it will burn over 40% more energy than ordinary walking, and give you a total body work-out.

    Nordic Walking mimics the movements of cross country skiing and the introduction of two poles ensures that the upper body is given a workout.
    It uses 90 per cent of the body’s muscles, toning the arms, particularly the triceps, chest and waist, as well as legs and bottom.

    Nordic Walking, ever popular and a better option for some.


    We’ve included Nordic Walking in our plan, but if you do suffer from joint problems, and wish to do more, visit http://www.nordicwalking.co.uk/

    If you want to know what calories you’re burning, visit



    Starting off

    Find your nearest green outdoor space, Park, Forest, Hills, beach, Cycle/walk Track

    Warming up

    Before any exercising (outside of walking) follow these basic steps.



    Stretching, warming up, cooling down....and Tree Loving!


    Warm up by walking briskly 5-10 minutes. Perform the exercises below for 60 seconds each:

    • Squat reach
    • Jumping jacks
    • Rotations
    • Step backs

    Cooling down

    Cool down by jogging or walking slowly for 5 minutes. Hold each of the stretches below for 30-45 seconds:

    • Calves
    • Hamstrings
    • Quads
    • Hip flexors
    • Chest and shoulders
    • Triceps and biceps

    Q. How do you know you’re working hard enough to gain benefits from exercise?
    A. A good guide to getting benefits from exercising within your training zone is when you can no longer hold a conversation with the person you’re exercising with

    Don’t forget:

    • Exercising with friends is a great way to stay motivated and is a sociable way to get fit
    • Mix your routines – that way you won’t get bored
    • Encourage your work colleagues to join in – a lungful of fresh air at lunchtime gets the oxygen flowing!
    • Keep fit as a family – that way everyone can be involved, set goals and share their achievements

    Enjoy the great outdoors...but watch out for Private land!
