As health coaches, people are always looking for the latest and best top 5 supplements to get them results. The key to remember, these are supplements, and they are meant to be added to an already healthy diet. A few of these we find absolutely necessary and a couple others just help with the crazy busi-ness, we call life.
Our Top 5
Protein powder supplements
Many think that protein bulks you up, but that is false. Protein feeds your lean muscle which helps you burn fat and keep it off. Yes, you heard that right, protein will help you lose weight and get lean. Whether you are a vegan / vegetarian or just not a fan of always cooking your protein – protein powders are one of our most recommended supplements and super convenient.
Vitamin/mineral Complex
Think you are getting all the right vitamins and minerals from your food? Think again. Even if you are eating 7-9 servings of fruit and vegetables a day, you might still be missing key nutrients. Think of your vitamin/mineral supplement as insurance that you are getting everything you need. If you body isn’t performing optimally it’s less likely to work on muscle building and fat loss and instead focus on the basic needs of your body, like survival.
Vitamin D Supplement
#VitaminD is also known as the Sunshine Vitamin. Research shows that 1 in 2 Americans are deficient in Vitamin D. Low levels of vitamin D can leave you feeling run down and at risk for getting sick.
Fish Oil Supplement
Thousands of studies have shown omega-3s help support several aspects of health including enhance immune system, healthy brain and nerve activity, balancing hormones, eye health and reduction in joint pain. Be sure to one that include EPA/DHA.
Fiber
#Guthealth is huge right now. Why – because of the scrub-brush effect – fiber helps clean out bacteria and other buildup in your intestines. This is a very good sign. Best types of fiber: flax seeds, chia seeds or Psyllium Husk Powder
