Exercise and nutrition are essential to live a healthy and efficient lifestyle. An important part of the nutrition piece is supplementation. It can be tough to ensure you're absorbing all the minerals, nutrients, enzymes, and so on that your body needs. Understandably, it costs extra to add supplements into your daily routine. But what's more costly, a little bit now in exchange for higher functioning, or endless medical bills down the road for endless health issues that you ...truly can't afford? Daily, I do my best to take the following supplementation as seen in the pic above: ener-c packet (1000 mg vitamin c and numerous other vitamins/minerals) to start the day, magnesium (improves muscle and nerve function, regulates blood sugar levels and blood pressure, and more), Zinc (boosts your immune system to say the least), Vitamin C tablets (ascorbic acid helps develop and repair all body tissue), Vitamin D3 (helps absorb calcium and phosphorus promoting healthy bones), Vitamin E (essential for healthy skin), CoQ10 (primarily boost heart health, occurs naturally in the body).

A friend of mine shared a very interesting article with me today. I think it's an important read for everyone considering the situation we're all in, which is why I'm sharing it here. Follow the link below to read it in full. Also, check out the research study links within for further information. In this read I came across a new word (at least for me) called "teleoanticipation". From what I understand so far, it's the anticipation of the end of a physical task. This anticipa...tion is directly related to how efficient we are at using our energy resources. Studies revealed that when you remove the finish line making it unknown, your heart rate and rate of perceived exertion lowers and your brain functioning enters into a more relaxed state. In the same way, researchers suggest that fixating your mind on when the pandemic will end and putting your hope in "promising" vaccine updates isn't a good idea. Here's a couple of excerpts from this article: "For those of us tempted by promising vaccine updates to start fantasizing about an end to the pandemic, these researchers have some advice: don’t." "Staying in the moment might be better for us than fantasizing about a future just beyond reach" If you have some extra time (most of us do right now) check this out. I believe that by shifting the way we dwell upon the seemingly endless situation that we're in we'll be able to cope with it more seamlessly and sustain a higher level of the much needed joy in our life.
