Even with a well-balanced and wholesome diet, getting the optimal amount of nutrients can be nearly impossible. Here are three supplements that you can take to help your body stay healthy:
1) Multivitamin
We know your doctor has told you a million times and your mother used to force you, but you really should be taking a multivitamin every day to fill in gaps in your diet. There isn’t a single person out there who has a perfect diet, no matter how much effort they put in. It is possible to get many of your daily requirements of vitamins from food, but the sad truth is that the vast majority of us just simply don’t have great diets. It’s better to be safe and ensure that your body is getting the nourishment it needs.
2) Fish Oil (Omega’s)
A lot of us know that we should be taking fish oil, but why? Fish oil is an excellent source of something called essential fatty acids. They are a healthy nutrient (despite their name) that helps with brain function. Fish oil is also known to lower blood pressure, triglyceride levels, and prevent heart disease and strokes. Some people also take fish oil supplements to help with diabetes. The fact of the matter is that your body needs these fatty acids, and it is very difficult to obtain a healthy amount of them with a standard American diet.
3) Probiotics
Deep inside our intestines, we are hosts to a healthy colony of good bacteria. This bacteria helps our bodies break down food, fight bad bacteria, prevent infection, and help our immune systems. Unfortunately with the typical modern diet, we are often destroying the good bacteria in our bodies. Those antibiotics we take to save our lives can also kill some of the good bacteria in our bodies. Some of the side effects of having low amounts of good bacteria are constipation, diarrhea, IBS, and infections.
Of course, talk to your doctor before making serious diet changes and adding supplements to your routine.
