Why you should take supplements Daily.

When deciding whether you should supplement, it is best to understand what the word supplement means. It is defined as something that completes or enhances something else when added to it. When you think of this in terms of nutritional supplements, they are meant to enhance your health. Personally, I love the extra energy that my vitamins, minerals and other supplements provide me when I am working out. I never take stimulants, only supplements, and I am a firm believer in taking a base supplementation regime every day. Remember that all supplements are not created equal. Research the brand, fillers, how they are processed ect.

Here are 10 reasons why you should take supplements daily:

  1. Our food source isn’t as whole as it once was, and our daily requirement for fruits and veggies has doubled in the past 15yrs.
  2. Supplements are a natural way of boosting your immune system and a cost effective way of keeping yourself healthy.
  3. Supplementation helps to transport and feed your muscles. It also helps to counter any minor or major deficiencies you may have. A common one being Vitamin D due to lack of sunlight and overuse of sunscreen.
