What do you actually do to ensure you are in good health? Do you exercise? Do you eat well? How about supplements, do you take them? If you are like everybody else then the answer’s probably no to all of these. However, just because you have not yet made steps to improve your health that’s not to say that you can’t. In fact, there is no time like the present. If you are interested in becoming healthier then while all of the above are important, dietary supplements are most important because the average diet today doesn’t provide people with all of the nutrients that they need. Here are some of the most important supplements you need to begin taking:
Creatine
Creatine is a supplement that is used predominantly by people who’re interested in building muscle. However, it can also be used by people who just want to improve their health and fitness. If you are interested in taking creatine then you need to make sure that you source it from a reliable vendor. Finding a reliable vendor to work with should not prove especially difficult. All you need to do is conduct a simple internet search. It should be noted that when searching for retailers to buy products from it is always a good idea to read reviews. A retailer’s reviews can tell you a lot about them and help you to find out whether they are worth working with or not and if their products are good.
Probiotics
Probiotic supplements are very good for intestinal health. Taking them is definitely something that you will want to consider if improving your general health is something that interests you. If taking daily probiotics does not interest you (which it’s not hard to see why it wouldn’t when you consider how bad some of them taste!) then you can begin consuming more dairy, like kefir. Kefir is a fantastic superfood that can completely restore your gut’s natural biome and improve its function. Consuming more kefir in addition to taking probiotics is an effective way of improving gut health.
Omega-3
Omega-3 is a fatty fish oil found in salmon and mackerel and other oily fish. Scientists and doctors have been saying for decades that people need to consume more of this oil. If you want to improve your health then why not begin taking supplements? The only individuals who don’t need to take supplements containing omega-3 are people who eat a lot of fish. There are also vegetables and certain fruits that contain this oil too. Do your research and look around so you can find out what these are if you are not sold on the idea of consuming more of it.
Multivitamin
Multivitamin is a great supplement to start taking if you want to improve your general health. Going back to a healthy diet for a moment, if you are not an individual who is interested in taking supplements then you can consume the vitamins and compounds found in them by eating a healthy diet. Eating a healthy diet is something everybody should do regardless of whether or not they are taking supplements. If you do plan on improving your diet then make sure that you eat more whole foods, like fruits and vegetables, and reduce your consumption of red meat. Too much red meat can be very bad for you.
Zinc
Zinc is a nutrient that you can get from food. However, most people are zinc deficient. The reason so many people are zinc deficient is because they do not eat enough foods that contain it. Improving your diet and getting more zinc doesn’t have to be a challenge. In fact, you can easily consume more of it by taking supplements. You can take supplements that contain nothing but zinc and you can also take supplements that are a combination of different nutrients, zinc included. Zinc is sometimes included in multivitamins.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is something a lot of people are deficient in. If you want to consume more of this then it’s best to take it in supplement form. Remember it is possible to overdose on vitamins so you need to make sure that you carefully restrict how much of them you are using. Restricting vitamin intake will help you to prevent yourself from developing adverse side effects. Adverse side effects of supplements can be very dangerous. Make sure you always follow your chosen vitamin retailer’s dosing instructions which you can find on the back of the package.
If you want to improve your health then taking more vitamins and supplements is the way to go. You can do that by taking supplemental medicines or by eating healthier. The vitamins and nutrients mentioned here are ones you should prioritise taking.
