A good diet of fresh foods will provide you with most of the nutrients you need, but it takes special effort to get Vitamin D. Good food sources for Vitamin D include fatty fish and fortified milk. Unfortunately, fatty fish are the most likely to have accumulated environmental toxins in their tissues. Vitamin D is essential for health especially for boosting your immune system.
Human skin can synthesize Vitamin D from sunlight, with 10 minutes of unprotected exposure–shorts and a sleeveless top with no sunblock–daily providing enough Vitamin D in the summer months. During winter in most of the United States, the atmosphere blocks the wavelengths of sunlight that promote Vitamin D synthesis, so supplementation is necessary. Getting Vitamin D from sunlight and/or supplementation is infinitely safer and more effective than getting the “flu shot.” Vitamin D is also known to reduce cancer rates, heart disease incidence. This is a very important substance for human health.
There’s nothing controversial about this, but since no one can get rich off sunlight and Vitamin D you’re unlikely to hear the pharmaceutical industry or its government agents talk about it.

Profile: Eleni Prokopeas is a mother of three wonderful children and happily married. She lives in Dallas, Texas. Eleni’s son was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old. Unable to find help for him in conventional medicine, she turned to alternative medicine and healed her son of autism by his 6th Birthday. Rather than accepting the diagnosis as life-long, Eleni asked, “Why are neurological problems becoming an epidemic for so many young children, especially boys?” and “How can I help my son reach his full potential?” After spending endless hours researching, reading, calling and asking questions, she has helped her son heal and move through the Autism Spectrum World. It’s because of this experience and passion she created greendivamom.com. This experience changed how she looked and lived her life. “I now know that with knowledge comes power and that we ALL have the power to treat and overcome anything. Eleni Prokopeas is a mother with a passion for sharing empowering information to help improve children’s health and the health of their parents. Eleni volunteers her time to serve as a consultant helping families with children on the spectrum, spending time with her three beautiful children and husband, creating healthy meals and juices daily, yoga and of course working on GreenDivaMom.com.
