Your Healthiest Year Ever, Day 20: Take a MultiVitamin

Hey guys! We’ve only got 11 days left of the 31 days to a Healthier You daily challenges – this month is flying by!

Today I want to talk to you about vitamins. I know, I know, you eat well and you feed your kids well. Although vitamins are not a replacement for healthy eating, they can offer you peace of mind and support good health for those rare occasions when you need to eat on the run. As well, I’ll freely admit that despite my best efforts at making home cooked meals, my family still lacks in certain key vitamins and minerals (largely due to being picky eaters).

These are my two oldest beautiful daughters, Sierra and Brooke:

While they absolutely love bread, carrots, chicken, cheese, yogurt, bananas and broccoli, they rarely will eat fish (tuna, salmon, sardines), legumes, green leafy vegetables and nuts. This means that they likely are lacking in vitamins for normal growth and development. Specifically the girls are likely lacking in vitamin in B5 which helps the body metabolize fats, proteins and carbohydrates – without being able adequately metabolize foods, the girls aren’t able to withdraw the vitamins in the good food that they do eat… Hmmmmm….

Even I likely don’t get all of the vitamins and nutrients that I need, so today’s just for today challenge is to take a MultiVitamin, and while you’re at it, give your kids one too (can I suggest the Swiss Natural Total One Kids? My kids LOVE them! Seriously – Brooke said to me this morning, “Mommy, can I have one of those candies that I’m only allowed to have 1 of every day?”)

Question/Sharing:
What vitamins or supplements do you or your family take?PS – you might be interested to know that Swiss Natural is on FaceBook, and is currently hosting a cute contest to name their Total One Polar Pals.
