The 5 Best Supplements for Health and Wellness

Why supplement?

You can get a lot of nutrients from raw food however when food is cooked it becomes less nutritious. Also over farming degrades what was once nutrient dense soil.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A SUPPLEMENT

– Quality
– Source
– Bio-availability
– Delivery Method

OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

For heart health, eye health, may help with arthritis, ADHD, Alzheimer’s Dementia and depression.

Krill is generally the most potent and cleanest source of Omega 3.

PROBIOTICS

For gut health. Delivery method is huge here because most supplements only deliver a small fraction of live probiotics to your intestines. Many die in stomach acid. Look for liquid forms or technology designed to protect live bacteria through the acidic environment of the stomach.

VITAMIN D

Vitamin D is a hormone and plays an important role in over 650 functions in the body. While we can make our own most people are deficient. For energy, immunity and bone density.

VITAMIN C

Only a few mamals don’t make their own vitamin C. Among them are Humans, Guinea Pigs, some bats and some monkees.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and may reduce risk of chronic diseases, boost immunity, lowers blood pressure, may lower risk of heart disease

CALCIUM

For your skeletal system and your heart health. Definitely want to look for a plant based source. Calcium from rocks or seashells are far less bio-available.

It All Adds Up I recently went to the doctor’s for my annual check-up and I got a clean bill of health! While checking out I noticed a sign with four simple things anyone can do to stay healthy at any age. It occurred to me that I do all of those things so I thought I’d share them with you here in this live video. Four Things! 1 – Move Even moderate exercise on a consistent basis can have a big impact on your health. Look for fun things to do on the weekend that keep you moving and active. I like bike riding, skiing, running, and disc golf! 2 – Get enough sleep Have a solid bed time to help ensure you get enough rest for your body to repair and refresh. Most sleep professionals say 7-8 hours is good for adults . 3- Eat real food Avoid eating processed foods and foods with ingredients you can’t pronounce. Generally, these don’t contain the nutrients your body needs for optimal health. 4 – uh….oh no I forgot # 4! Ok so you’ll notice I forgot # 4 (thank goodness my doc wasn’t testin...
