Episode 10 – Nutrition Supplement Essentials

 

Do you know which supplements to take?

In this article let’s talk about four nutrition supplement essentials that may complement your diet and keep your body and mind on track in your health and fitness journey.

 

First off, what are supplements?

Nutrition supplements complement (or supplement) your already healthy diet. Nutrition starts with food first, and once you have that under control AND consistent, you can then go on to consider supplements – there are no shortcuts to success!

 

1. Multivitamins

You need vitamins and minerals to function properly. Vitamins and minerals are found in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, as well as dairy and meats. Normally you can get enough vitamins and minerals from healthy eating.

However, there will be some days where you won’t be able to properly execute your healthy meal plan. This is where multivitamins come in. Multivitamins act like an insurance policy for your vitamin and mineral intake, making sure your body receives all it needs for peak performance in all your daily activities.

So if you find yourself in situations where the right foods aren’t available in adequate amounts at home due to missing a shopping day, you’re too busy and just can’t fit in in your schedule, or there may be an emergency that arises – multivitamins have you covered.

 

2. Omega-3 Tablets

Most fish contain wonderful essential fatty acids you need for proper brain, heart and body cell function. While it is ideal to eat fish on a regular (or bi- or tri-weekly) basis, sometimes this can be logistically difficult. Other times it may go against your beliefs (in the case of vegetarianism or saving the planet).

Fish oil tablets will help supplement your fish intake by providing essential omega-3 fatty acids such as, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and other polyunsaturated fats into your diet which significantly help reduce the risk of heart disease later in life through improving blood cholesterol levels.
