Proper Supplementation With so many supplements on the market, there are a handful over time that have shown to be beneficial and well worth making a part of your daily regimen. A complete multi-vitamin provides a wealth of essential vitamins and minerals required to keep the body’s natural processes running at an optimal level. Although there is never a substitution for eating wholesome, natural, healthy food, a multi-vitamin provides an easy and efficient solution. For example, the benefits of fish oil supplementation are overwhelming and beg to ask the question, why isn’t everyone taking them? Fish oil’s primary benefits are a result of their high Omega-3 fatty acid content. Taking fish oil provides incredible benefits including: reduced inflammation, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, improved joint health, efficient fat loss, and reduced muscle soreness from weight training! You should be taking a few fish oil pills right now after reading that – I’ll wait.
