Beds

The sales clerk kindly informs you that all the beds are left bare, because of their rugged beauty, but that once assembled if you prefer, you can finish the beds with any finish you prefer. Your eye is drawn once again to the rugged, outdoorsy, warmth that seems to seep from every fibre of the beds. You ask the clerk if you may sample the beds, and are assured that you should indeed do just that.

You lie back, and feel as though you’re drifting miles away, and though you know you’re in one of the biggest shopping centres around, you feel sure that you’ll open your eyes to a view of the rugged northern country. You can’t help but feel the sturdiness of the bed, and when you raise your head and look around, it doesn’t escape your attention that you see cabin beds in every size possible. Once you arise, the sales clerk draws your attention to the outer growth rings of the logs, pointing out the many little cracks that are visible there. He then explains that this is how the cedar ‘dries itself’, or gets rid of moisture.

He assures you that this in no way affects the structural strength or durability of the wood. This resounds as true within you. After all you have just felt the strength and security of lying on this amazing bed. You turn to find the sales clerk handing you a pamphlet, outlining the five year warranty that comes with each bed.

Turning just a little you notice what is described as a log twin arched frame bed, and just a little further beyond that, you are drawn to the log canopy bed. These two beds, the sales clerk gladly explains are crafted out of northern white cedar. They are exceptionally strong and will easily last a lifetime. Briefly you close your eyes, and you can see how these beds would fit in each of your rooms in perfect harmony. The natural beauty adds a touch of elegance that you can almost feel as well as see.

Your mind slips away to that perfect summer vacation, the one at that log cabin on the shore of that amazing lake. You can’t help but remember how you woke up refreshed and relaxed every day.

You can picture in your mind, what it would be like to come home after a hard day at work, and to walk into your room and be swept away to that beautiful retreat. Comfortable, peaceful, relaxing are all words that come to your mind. Realization dawns that from the Beverly Hills mansions, to the New York City apartments, to the cozy little cabin in the hills, with one of these cabin beds you can enjoy your sacred retreat anywhere. You enthusiastically shake the sales clerks hand, as you rush to pay for your new cabin bed, unable to contain the excitement at getting home to your private getaway.

Long ago Vitamin D was link to simply bone diseases like rickets or osteoporosis. However, in today’s world, it’s considered to be one of the best ingredients to your overall health. Some safe and healthy tanning beds offer vitamin D.

I came across an article published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and found that it was quite liberating. International Vitamin D expert Anthony Norman talks about the ability of this vitamin to go above and beyond the normal expectations. He also discusses the advantages and abilities to improve the immune system, regulate heart and blood pressure, build muscle strength and brain activity, as well as help produce insulin by the pancreas.

Most importantly, if you take adequate amounts of Vitamin D, then it is considered to be extremely helpful in reducing the risk of cancer.

He also includes a list of 36 organ tissues that responds well to Vitamin D. These include bone marrow, breast, intestine, colon, kidney, lung, prostate, and many others. It’s the cells that respond biologically to the vitamin that allows such an important benefit.

Keep in mind that according to Anthony Norman, all of these organ tissues can also diminish without enough Vitamin D. We already know that it’s linked to muscle strength decreases, and various cancers like prostate and breast versions.

Have you heard about it also being related to Parkinson’s disease? While these were unrelated studies, the evidence was there. One of the major points was that over half of the participants who had Parkinson’s, also had insufficient amounts of Vitamin D.

This is why places like the American Academy of Pediatrics have doubled its suggestion regarding daily doses for kids. Over the long term this could keep them from developing rickets and instead promote various other health benefits.

Even when a baby is born, guidelines are telling us that children should have 400 international units per day. These are massive amounts compared to a decade ago, but it does make you realize how important it is today.

Dr. Frank of the AAP said, “Evidence has shown this could have life-long health benefits.” Even though the word “could” is no guarantee, it’s something we seriously have to think about adding to our daily diet. Whether you’re spending proper amounts of time in the sun, taking Vitamin D supplements everyday or even taking advantage of a healthy tanning bed, these are all ways to get a healthy dose.

One thing to remember about the tanning beds is that I said, “Healthy tanning bed.” There are several issues that form from the conventional styles, but we’re now starting to see an increase in healthy beds that offer Vitamin D, reverse wrinkles, and even more serious things like lowering blood pressure and relieving pain from muscles.

This is definitely something else you should see. It will give you a clear understanding of why the world is finally going healthy.
