Vitamins

So unfortunately I started out the new year of 2017 under the weather.  I experienced shingles, a sinus infection and extreme allergies all within a span of about two and a half weeks.  Needless to say my immune system and energy levels were down.  In general, I eat very healthy and am an active individual.  I'd like to think I take good care of myself; however, like all, sometimes sickness comes my way.  I was not expecting to experience the above trifecta, but thankfully I am feeling much better.  Along with the medicines I was prescribed, my immune system strengthening on its own, and lots of rest, I think I owe the spring in my step these days to the introduction of vitamin supplements to my diet.  

My dad was actually the one who shared this video with my sister and I.  It was interesting to hear from Lo Bosworth, known from The Hills TV show, but also an author and entrepreneur.  She found out she was severely deficient in a few vital vitamins that once she added into her daily routine, made her feel healthier all around.    

Additionally, for women specifically, I came across a great list of six essential vitamins and minerals to be sure to incorporate into your diet if not already.  I like this list a lot because it notes whether you should look into getting a supplement or if it's possible and more beneficial to get these vitamins and minerals from food instead.
