Nourishing Habits: The Morning Supplements I Swear by

Morning supplements can be a beneficial addition to your daily routine. Supplements can aid in addressing nutritional gaps, supporting immune function, enhancing cognitive performance, and promoting overall well-being. I’m on a mission to stick to my routine every single day this year, even when I’m on the road or going through tough times. I’ve made my supplements non-negotiable because I’ve noticed that skipping them throws me off. Consistency is the key to really feeling the benefits of these supplements. It’s all about staying committed to that daily routine – that’s where the magic happens.

✨Supplements I’ve Added To My Mornings✨

These are all the supplements I take on a daily. Always consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating new supplements to ensure they align with your specific needs and health status.

Akasha Superfoods: Sea Moss Gummies

These gummies have a blend of powerful ingredients such as Irish Sea Moss, Pearl Powder, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Aloe Vera. They mainly help to hydrate, protect, tighten, and soothe the skin, while also reducing inflammation and promoting collagen production.

Flo PMS Gummy Vitamins

Periods suck, the symptoms suck more! These gummies help me alleviate the worst parts of that time of the month like period breakouts, mood-swings, bloating and cramps.

Liposomal Vitamin B12 + B6

It’s like a magic blend of the most bioactive forms of Vitamin B12, including Methylcobalamin, Adenosylcobalamin, and Hydroxocobalamin Chloride. Vitamin B12 does wonders for red blood cell production, mood, and memory. But what sets this apart is Cymbiotika’s liposomal technology – for better absorption and bioavailability.

The Omega

I will do just about anything to not get sick. This supplement is crucial for my immune health. The Omega mix is full of amazing ingredients like Icelandic Astaxanthin, an organic compound synthesized naturally by fungi, bacteria, and yeasts as a secondary metabolite. Evidence exists to support its benefits for cardiovascular, skin, eye, hepatic, and immune support.

Yep, it’s all in there. Cymbiotika’s got me covered for the long haul.

Healthy Glow

Healthy Glow is my go-to for encouraging cellular repair, keeping the skin hydrated, and boosting that oh-so-important collagen production. Say goodbye to fine lines and wrinkles, and hello to a complexion that screams youth and radiance.

You can find ingredients like Spermidine and Hyaluronic Acid. Spermidine is like a little health superhero, mimicking fasting to kickstart autophagy, waving goodbye to inflammation and oxidative stress – the villains of aging. And Hyaluronic Acid? It’s all about that soft, healthy skin, smoothing out those pesky lines and wrinkles. Trust me, Healthy Glow™ is the key to aging like the queen you are.”

NMN + Trans-Resveratrol

Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is one of the 13 essential vitamins required by the human body for optimal health. But what makes NMN so special? Well, it’s been recognized for its potential to slow down the aging process and amp up mitochondrial function. This isn’t just about looking young; it’s about keeping our cells at their absolute best.

How to Feel Body Positive While Working Out

The summer season is a perfect excuse to get up and get moving. Whether that means swimming at the beach or hiking outdoors, there are ample opportunities for you to feel refreshed and get fit during this time. But, what do you do to stay active on the days where the summer weather is less than accommodating?

If you’re like most people, you may think about heading to your local gym for a quick workout. Seems like an obvious answer, right? If you consider yourself to be a fitness enthusiast or simply meet the normal beauty standards typically associated with people at these facilities someone who’s slim and snatched—working out at your local gym may seem like a no-brainer. And while a local facility like this should be the solution for all, unfortunately, if you don’t meet the overidealized beauty standards, going to a gym can be intimidating.

Although it can certainly be scary, it’s important to not let intimidation get the best of you.

No matter what shape or size you come in, your body is beautiful. To ensure you’re feeling body positive while you workout, be sure to follow these tips!

Put Your Best Face Forward

The gym is not the time to doll yourself up. While it may be tempting to apply some foundation, concealer, and mascara before you head off, doing so can actually wind up making you feel worse about yourself later on, as wearing makeup while engaging in physical activity is more
likely to lead to skin issues like acne.

That said, before you head off to your next workout, be sure to wash and treat your complexion with skin care products compatible with your skin.

Removing any makeup, dirt, or other impurities before you walk into the gym will make it easier for you to maintain a fresh face, feel good about your appearance, and truly focus on what you
came there to do: work out.

Remember What You’re There For

This brings us to our next point: remember what you’re they’re for.

Standing in front of a mirror and dissecting every little thing you do not like about yourself isn’t going to help you reach your fitness goals any faster, nor support you on your journey to feeling body positive. The way in which your body moves is much more significant than the way it looks, so don’t get too hung up on looking in the mirror.

If you need assistance correcting your form or position, there are multiple instructors and experts who can help you along the way. Don’t rely on your reflection to tell you whether or not you’re doing a good job. Instead, concentrate on how your body feels while you’re exercising and post-exercise.

Sign Up For A Class

If you’re new to the fitness world or are not quite sure what you’re doing or need to be doing in order to achieve your fitness goals, try signing up for a class!

Classes are a great way to meet new people, get attention from the experts, hone in on certain muscles, and of course, feel body
positive!

Plus, classes are generally made up of a smaller group, which will work to take off some of that pressure that’s initially felt upon entering a facility like this.

Finally, signing up for a fitness class is an effective way to hold yourself more accountable on your workout journey. If you’re going to spend money to be more physically active, there’s no reason to not show up and show off your bodacious bod!

Check In On Yourself

Throughout your workout, be sure to check in on yourself and how you’re feeling.

The gym tends to be a place where people go to block out or cope with their feelings with loud workout music or an interesting podcast. Sure, this may be useful for some, but as a heavier woman occupying a space of health and diet culture, it’s vital that you don’t engage in this type of behavior. In fact, it’s actually a good idea to do the complete opposite.

Pay close attention to how you’re feeling in every given moment. What/who is making you feel this way? How is it affecting your ability to feel body positive?

Asking yourself these questions with true honesty will give you more insight as to what it is about your local gym that’s making you feel off-put. In turn, this will help you to address the issues as they arise and find solutions more quickly.
