Vitamin D Matters — Especially in Low-Sun Areas
Less sunlight = higher risk of low vitamin D

Why it’s important:
Strong bones
Immune support
Muscle health
Mood & energy

Limited UV exposure in fall and winter means your body makes much less vitamin D naturally — making supplementation important for many patients.

General supplement guidance:
Most adults: 800–2,000 IU daily
Take with food for better absorption.

Your P*P can check your level and tailor your dose.
Let’s keep your vitamin D strong year-round!

Your heart works hard for you—show it some love this February! ❤️

It’s American Heart Month, the perfect time to focus on heart-healthy habits and routine checkups.

Protect your heart with these key screenings:
•Blood Pressure – High blood pressure often has no symptoms but is a leading cause of heart attack and stroke.
•Cholesterol – High cholesterol can quietly build plaque in your arteries and increase heart disease risk.
•Blood Sugar (Diabetes screening) – Diabetes significantly raises the risk of heart disease.
•Weight & BMI – Helps assess risk for heart disease and related conditions.
•Lifestyle Check (smoking, diet, activity) – Everyday habits have a powerful impact on heart health.

Early screening = early action. Many heart conditions are preventable when caught early.

Schedule a visit today to protect your heart by calling 701-532-1215 or requesting online at amendhealthcare.com!
