Are you health conscious?

Many people are starting to become more and more health conscious these days and I'm no exception. Due to my busy lifestyle of juggling work, family and other commitments, taking nutritional supplements seems to be the best way to go. I should practice looking my best at all times because I want to still look good even when I'm 50. :) It's amazing to see some 50 year old people look like they are in their early 30s! I've to confess that it is rather difficult, even for me, to stay away from fast foods or unhealthy foods at times. More often, I eat my fruits, vegetables and whole grains, but when it comes to chocolates, I throw caution to the wind! I understand how people enjoy their meals and what tantalizes their taste buds. Hey, everyone needs at least one indulgence, right?

Anyway, here's a list of dietary supplement protocol that I take on a regular basis.

Natural Factors Cod Liver Oil is a nutritional supplement derived from the liver of cod fish, and it is chalked full of omega 3 fatty acids, as well as vitamins A, D. I take cod liver oil to keep my joints supple. It is especially useful for individuals with digestive problems since they may have difficulty converting Beta Carotene (provitamin A) into vitamin A.

Kordel's Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) has many beneficial properties which promote general well-being with little or no known side effects. It certainly improves my skin condition as well as effective for pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) related difficulties.

Alterni's High Absorption Milk Calcium- A good calcium supplement that is natural, contain a combination of minerals in the right ratios, and is highly absorbed and easy to take.

Organos Fruits and Vegies Antioxidant capsules-each capsule contains 500mg of organic fruit and vegies extracts.
Antioxidants help prevent the free radical damage that is associated with cancer and heart disease.

With these nutritional supplements, I get wholesome nourishment my body needs, easily and conveniently. It seems to be a wonderful win-win situation for me as it helps to boost my health and wellness to my family.
I take short walks every morning and feeling physically better, even lost a bit of weight! Because everyone needs me, I need to take good care of myself too.
