Osteoporosis Foundation calls for Higher Vitamin D levels

A New Position Statement by the International Osteoporosis Foundation published in the Osteoporosis International Journal, examined all available evidence to support new recommendations for optimal Vitamin D Status. The Foundation found that older adults should consume between 800 and 1,000 IU of Vitamin D per day in order to ensure sufficient blood levels of the vitamin.

“Global Vitamin D status shows widespread insufficiency and deficiency” said the statements lead author, Professor Bess Dawson-Hughes of Tufts University. “This high prevalence of suboptimal levels raises the possibility that many falls and fractures can be prevented with vitamin D supplementation. This is a relatively easy public health measure that could have significant positive effects on the incidence of osteoporotic fractures.”

Vitamin D deficiency in adults is reported to precipitate or exacerbate osteopenia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, fractures, common cancers, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and cardiovascular disease. There is also some evidence that the vitamin may reduce the incidence of several types of cancer and type-1 diabetes.

The Science supporting the muscle function of vitamin D, as well as the vitamin’s role in immune health, is sufficiently robust to have merited a positive opinion from the European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA) Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA).

Staying Focused on Your Business

If you are easily distracted, staying focused on your business can be harder than doing the actual work of your business! It is very easy to procrastinate, especially when you are working at home. There are always a million other things to do.

Here is something you should always try to remember; The dishes can wait! The laundry can wait! So go make those phone calls or answer those emails. The laundry and dishes will still be there, waiting for you! However, if you wait too long to call a client back, they may move on to someone who gets back to them faster than you do.

Why did you become a business owner in the first place? Did you need to bring in an extra money to pay off credit cards? Was it to put money away for your children's college fund? Or was it to save for retirement? Whatever the reason, write it down and put it where you will see it on a daily basis. When you are feeling distracted, look at what you wrote down. It will be easier to work when you remember why you are working in the first place.

Hold yourself accountable. You will also want team up with someone else, maybe your mentor or sponsor. Having another person holding you accountable is always good. You can share you successes or share your frustration when something didn't go as planned.

Stay motivated by setting daily, weekly and month goals. If you work backwards, you will create a road map to your success. Example, if your financial goals is to sell $1500 that month. You will see that you need to sell $375 each week. How many home meetings or parties do you need to hold, how many phone calls do you need to make each day, how many new people to you need to sponsor that month, etc.

Celebrate! When you do accomplish a goal, be sure to celebrate. Or when one of your team members reaches a goal, be sure to celebrate with them. Take time to focus on the achievement, you deserve it!
