Pg. 22 2025-26 Health & Wellness Magazine Lincoln Daily News Vitamin D is a vitamin that almost everyone should be supplementing. She said we as a people are more indoors than outdoors in this day and age. Vitamin D is a sunshine vitamin and unless someone works daily in the outdoors, they will probably be deficient in vitamin D. Another suggestion is to take a vitamin B complex. Cook said that medical doctors are recognizing these needs more and more and will in many cases agree to order testing that would give the patient a complete profile of the minerals in their bodies and suggest proper supplementation where there are deficiencies. Exercise is also very important even if it is something as simple as walking. She said some may be interested in an exercise program such as yoga which she teaches at Moksha. She said that Yoga is not specifically a component of holistic health, but the two can go hand in hand. She said she offers gentle yoga classes as well as gentle chair yoga. Both can be helpful in helping with mobility as well as relaxation. Meditation is another aspect that is not particularly a part of holistic health but can help people find their center and inner relief from stress and tension. Music is good as well for finding that balance. She said it really doesn’t matter what kind of music it is, and actually rather depends on what the person finds relaxing and enjoyable. For some pains, crystals and minerals in solid form are also helpful. She said there is proof that copper is helpful for people with joint pain. She said that the best results come when copper can be worn near the pain area. She added that eating more whole foods and fewer processed foods is healthy for the body and recommended for everyone. Cook said there are many aspects of holistic health and healing and not everything can be explained in one article. She does offer consultation as well as treatments and would be happy to talk with anyone who is interested in finding their balance and enjoying a better quality of life. Cook does have a website https://moksha. center/ and encourages anyone to visit the site and reach out to her through the site if they are interested in learning more. [Nila Smith]
