These supplements will change your life (we promise)
Here's a situation we've all been in...you walk into a chemist or health food store ready to give yourself an extra boost. You get to the supplements aisle, tilt your head and ask yourself 'where do I even begin'?!
There's a gazillion different vitamins and supplement out there, and you can easily waste a lot of time and money on the wrong ones.
RR is here to help break it down. We've spoken to health pros and this is what they recommend...
- Magnesium: There is so many benefits to taking magnesium. It plays a crucial role in the body, like supporting muscle and nerve function and energy production. Really low levels of magnesium can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.
- Potassium: It helps regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions and nerve signals. A high-potassium diet may help reduce blood pressure and water retention, protect against stroke and prevent osteoporosis and kidney stones.
- Omega Three Fatty Acid: This may be the single most important supplement you can take. Studies show it can help fight depression and anxiety, improves eye health, promotes brain health, helps prevent heart disease, fights inflammation, may help prevent cancers, reduces fat in your liver, improves bone and joint health and improves sleep (yes please!)
- Vitamin D: Vit D helps fight disease, helps regulate mood, supports weight loss and recent studies show it may even help fend off COVID-19.
- Multi Vitamin: If in doubt, a great all round multi vitamin covers all basis.
Of course check with you health professional before starting any supplements plan. A great place to start is to have a blood test to see where your level are at. Once you get your vitamin levels in check, it's a game-changer. You'll be asking yourself why you didn't take them sooner!
