Vitamin D plays an important role in our health, and now new preliminary research suggests it may have a role in fighting COVID-19. A recent study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that over 80% of 200 COVID-19 patients at a hospital in Spain had vitamin D deficiency, with men having higher rates of deficiency than women. Another study conducted at Northwestern University collected data from 10 countries that were significantly affected by the coronavirus, including China, Italy, Spain and South Korea, and found a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and severity of COVID-19, as well as mortality rates associated with the virus....

Even pre-COVID, more than 50 million Americans suffered from some form of a sleep disorder, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association.

Psychiatrist Howard Maziar, M.D., DLFAPA, says, “When people tell me that they are having trouble sleeping right now, I tell them I’d be worried if they weren’t having trouble sleeping during these times....

Each of our 7 healthy homemade juice recipes provides about a quarter of the average daily recommended fruit and vegetables per glass (5 1/2 cups for a 2,000-calorie diet). Several studies show that adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet can improve your mental health and sense of well-being, yet most of us don’t get enough. While smoothies generally contain more fiber (because the whole piece of produce ends up in the final product) and more fruit, fresh juices can be loaded with dark leafy greens and lots of red, orange and/or purple vegetables to help maximize the nutrients in every glass....

According to the CDC, one in three Americans do not get enough sleep. That’s roughly one-third of us who are walking around each day in a fog. In addition to leaving us feeling tired, poor sleep quality is also linked to a number of chronic health conditions including depression, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Recently, studies have looked at the sleep quality of people eating a predominantly Mediterranean diet and the results are promising....
