Finding Your Perfect Balance

July 15, 2015 By Lena

I think we can all officially say it… summer is here! And many Canadians are basking in the warmer weather, the longer days, and for those that have suffered this winter: the official end of cold and flu season.

However, even though we’re spending more time outdoors and ideally eating an abundance of fresh, local produce, sometimes our diet falls short of our nutritional goals. With many Canadian families juggling work, summer camp, sports activities and more, despite our best intentions, it’s easy to succumb to less desirable meals and snacks – ones that don’t provide the balanced nutrition that our bodies crave.

A balanced, healthy diet feeds your body with the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and other key nutrients you need. Think of the times when you’ve felt your best – chances are, you were eating well, keeping stress levels low, and finding time for physical activity. And if you find yourself needing a little extra push, supplements can definitely help fill the gap.
Year round, Canadians depend on a variety of supplements to keep them feeling their best. Think of supplements as an insurance policy; they help ensure that you’re always at your optimal health, especially when life is hectic and a balanced diet isn’t always an option. 

Everyone is different, and since no two people are alike, we all have different nutritional needs. Some people simply need a general multivitamin to maintain good health, while others look to supplements to address specific deficiencies or health concerns. And often, a supplement is selected simply because it promotes the maintenance of good health, such as Life Brand Vitamin C Natural Orange, 500mg, 500 Chewable Tablets. It’s important to choose the product that is right for you, and Life Brand offers a wide range of options.

It’s never too late to develop healthy habits. Summer is the perfect time to revamp your diet, fit exercise into your day, and consider supplements for the times you fall short. Want to learn more? Visit lifebrand.ca.

    I have to admit we tend to slack off on supplements once the weather gets nice. Guess we should really be sticking with them year round.

    That is so true! Although we often try to eat like we should, it’s not always possible, especially when we are away! Thank you for the reminder!

    This was the perfect reminder to me: Think of the times when you’ve felt your best – chances are, you were eating well, keeping stress levels low, and finding time for physical activity. And if you find yourself needing a little extra push, supplements can definitely help fill the gap.

    It’s always hard to find the perfect balance. I keep track of my foods so that helps me a bit. Definitely need to keep on top of those vitamins!
