WEEK 5: DAY 7 · SUNDAY
REGULAR MACRO <or> LOW MACRO DAY 

I am so proud of your accomplishments this week. Other than your first couple of weeks in the beginning, I'd say this past week was one of your most exciting ones yet! You learned how to feast and how to fast and more importantly, you learned WHY we implement both of these strategies sometimes. If you missed anything from last week, I encourage you to refer back and scroll through this past week's posts.  There is so much useful information packed within! 

Today we are going to discuss two important topics: the role of Vitamin D. Sometimes called “the sunshine vitamin,” Vitamin D is produced naturally by our skin when exposed to sunlight. Sunscreen is obviously super important to wear daily. It’s also important to get a little bit of direct sunlight before applying sunscreen if possible to fully absorb the benefits of Vitamin D. Adequate Vitamin D exposure is imperative to both our overall health and well-being. Some of the benefits of Vitamin D include:

  • Improved immunity

  • Helps body fight disease

  • Boosts mood

  • Reduces stress

  • Improves sleep

  • and so much more!!

Check out this FASTer Way blog post with more information about the benefits of taking your workout outside and the importance of Vitamin D.
