The Benefits of Mindfulness

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is all about training yourself to pay attention in a special way to things happening around you.

It's difficult to get enough vitamin D; vitamin D is, therefore, a very common deficiency especially for those living in northern climates like I do.

So, let's talk about how much of this critical fat-soluble vitamin we need, and how you can get enough.
