Healthy Hunter: Daily Doses

So interestingly enough, I thought I had covered this month’s Healthy Hunter topic but apparently I haven’t! This part of a healthy lifestyle is a part of your daily routine that only takes a few moments but can add a lifetime of benefits for you. And just like mama used to always say before you started your day, “Don’t forget to take your vitamins!” But with such a saturated market of supplements, vitamins and products it can be intimidating on knowing where to start. And different people need different things. And then depending on if you follow Western or Eastern practices, you get into a whole world of confusion. Which is why today I am going to list out my four essential every-day doses of vitamins and supplements.

Number One- Multivitamin

Now in a perfect world, we would all get the exact amount of vitamins that we need from what we consume. Of course this rarely happens. So adding a multivitamin to your daily regimen can be a big help! These pills cover many of your essential vitamin needs and then some. And many of them come formulated for women, men or children. Some also come formulated for certain age groups. And the greatest break-through in the multivitamin industry over the past couple years… gummy vitamins for adults!

Number Two- Fish/Krill Oil

Some people swear by it, others don’t believe in it. Some say clear research shows how much it helps and others say it hasn’t been studied long enough. The basic gist is that it helps with your skin, joints and heart health. My personal belief on taking this kind of supplement is this: Splurge for the good stuff. Most people don’t like taking fish oil anyways, but buying cheap stuff really isn’t worth it. You’ll want to go with a recommended brand that comes from good sources. That is why many people have switched to krill oil as well. Also a fun trick is to freeze your fish oil pills to help eliminate their “off-putting texture”.

Number Three- Vitamin C

My theory is that enough Vitamin C can cure anything. Some studies have almost proven that to be true. This essential vitamin helps boost your immune system, and considering all the different germs and things you come into contact with adding a few extra of these won’t hurt. I include these on top of what I get from my multivitamin already. You can take it either as a pill or get a dissolving mix for inside water. Just know that too much vitamin c can cause “stomach issues” so don’t overtake it.

Number Four- Probiotics

This may be the newest supplement of the ones to make this list, but it has grown in popularity immensely. A probiotic uses healthy bacteria to help regulate your stomach. (Yes, just like Activia always says.) Your body can use all the help it can get, considering what most of us consume and then where it comes from. Adding a probiotic to your vitamin line-up can be a big help. Just note that most of these need to be kept in a refrigerator. Just like with fish oil, splurge for the good stuff.

Got a certain vitamin or supplement you would add on or take off that list? Share it below and reasons why! Until next time!
