What’s for breakfast?

Experts have long stressed the importance of breakfast as part of a healthy lifestyle, saying that first morning meal kicks off your metabolism and sets the tone for the day.

With the popularity of intermittent fasting, some people delay that first bite. But the timing of your meal doesn’t negate the importance of making sure it has the essential nutrients your body needs: Complex carbohydrates for instant energy, protein to keep you going and fiber to help you feel fuller longer.

You should also choose your ingredients wisely so you know what you’re putting into your body. Avoid processed foods, opting for whole foods instead. Using organic ingredients when possible is also a wise decision. Organic food is fresher, has fewer pesticides, is non-GMO and has more nutrients than their non-organic counterparts. Plus, organic farming is better for the environment.

Supplements can increase nutrient levels

You can also consider powder supplements to easily increase the nutrient level of your meal without adding a lot of extra preparation steps, such as Nutrilite™ Organics Plant Protein Powders or Nutrilite Organics Superfood Powders.

The Plant Protein Powders can help balance out a meal that’s missing protein, while the Superfood Powders supply beneficial plant nutrients while supporting other aspects of your health, like energy, digestion or your immune system.†

  Understanding the types of nutrients Why are nutrients important? Our bodies need them to survive and thrive each day. August 10, 2023 Nutrients definition Following a nutritious or well-balanced diet is one of the main things you can do to support your wellbeing.

How much water should I drink?

Health essentials: Are you getting enough water? I’m sure you have all heard it at one time or another: “You need to drink more water.” Water makes up more than half of your body weight, and without the right amount, your body can’t work its best. Good hydration supports the body’s immune system (our best defense against illness), helps skin health, and keeps our mind sharp and our days productive. But how much water is enough? How much water should you drink? The amount of water required each day depends on your body size, how physically active you are, whether you’re sick or breastfeeding, and even the climate in which you live, because your body uses water to keep you cool or warm. Every day, the average person should drink between 72 and 96 oz. of water – or between nine and 12 8-oz. glasses – to replace the fluids normally lost throughout the day. We developed a handy chart to help you remember. Dehydration symptoms If your body’s water level drops, you become dehydrated, which ca...

PROBIOTICS FOR KIDS

  PROBIOTICS FOR KIDS: WHY THEY SUPPORT IMMUNITY As more kids are returning to school buildings or other “in-person” activities where they will mix and mingle with more than just other students, you may be wondering what you can do to support their immune systems. Of course, you need to ensure they eat a healthy diet, encourage them to wear a mask when appropriate, wash their hands and avoid touching their face. But you also should think about their digestive system. Immunity and the digestive system That may sound strange, but the digestive system is the hub of your body’s immune health. In fact, 70 percent of your immunity cells are located in the lining of your gut, which is also home to trillions of tiny good and bad bacteria. (You may have heard this called your  microbiome .) The balance between those good and bad bacteria is a key part of the immune system. But it can easily get out of balance thanks to processed foods, occasional stress and environmental factors.
