Are You Getting All Your Vitamins? Revamping Your Diet in
2020
Special to The Truth
Getting all the vitamins and nutrients you need each day is
one of the most important things you can do to feel your
best.
The good news is that you don’t need to devote hours each
week to meal prep to ensure you’re healthfully getting
essential vitamins. As you make your 2020 plans to revamp
your diet, here are a few things to keep in mind:
• Don’t follow fads: When it comes to your wellness, it’s
best to rely on basic science, not the latest fad diets or
sports drinks and supplements that rely on added sugars,
fillers, preservatives, artificial flavors, sweeteners,
dyes, and negatives. Look for products that transparently
list all their ingredients.
• Drink your vitamins: Did you know that liquids are the
most bioavailable form for your body to absorb nutrients?
For complete health on-the-go, consider drinking your
vitamins. One effective solution is Drink Nutrient, which
offers single-serve stick packs that make it easy to get the
essential vitamins you need. Among its offerings is Vitamin
Coffee, a natural sustained energy booster made from 100
percent Colombian Arabica coffee that offers 50 percent of
your daily essential vitamins in each serving. Served hot or
cold, it’s a good choice for anyone who needs a caffeine
boost without the crash. Or, to get 100 percent of your
daily essential vitamins and 610 mg of electrolytes in one
go, consider Vitamin Booster+, which contains real fruit
juice, less than one gram of sugar, and is only 15 calories
per serving.
• De-stress: Too much stress can compromise your body’s
ability to absorb nutrients. So, take steps to relax and
unwind. Whether it’s through meditation, journaling, cooking
or jogging -- discover what hobbies and wellness activities
help you reduce your stress levels and be sure to make time
for them.
• Refuel wisely: If you hit the gym frequently, you likely
have tried one or two sports drinks and know how important
it is to refuel quickly and wisely after a workout. For
optimal high performance, consider upgrading your drink of
choice. With double the electrolytes of leading sports
drinks, Liquid Nutrient has a potassium-to-sodium ratio
intended for high-quality hydration, as well as amino acids
for mental focus and muscle repair.
• Maximize meals: To maximize meals, make sure the bulk of
the calories you consume are not “empty.” Empty calories,
such as added sugars and solid fats, contain little to no
nutritional value. Fill up on dark leafy vegetables,
berries, nuts, seeds and good-for-you fats like avocado and
salmon, while avoiding chips, cakes and other junk foods.
Don’t let your busy lifestyle get in the way of ensuring
you’re getting all the nutrients you need to feel your best.
This new year, resolve to revamp your diet for optimal
nutrition.
