And we couldn’t be more excited. Spring marks the beginning of warmer weather, longer daylight hours, the blooming of flowers and the budding of leaves. And for some, the glimpses of warmer weather also brings Spring Break.

Fast Fact of the Month: March

Sunshine is good for the soul, and the body! Did you know that just 10 minutes of sunlight a day builds the presence of Vitamin D-3 in our bodies? A safe level of Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and may help protect against many chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease and cancers of the breast, prostate or colon. Spending time outside is the best way to ensure your body is getting enough Vitamin D-3, so get outside, get sweaty, and grab some g+c deo!
