Vitamin Intro


Vitamins Intro:

I want to give my readers some basic information on the vitamins and their benefits along with what foods they are found in. I plan to go vitamin by vitamin because there are a lot of them and I don’t want to overwhelm you guys with one really big post. I'll start with Vitamin A.

Vitamin A: This is a fat soluble vitamin which means that it is stored in the liver and the body does not flush it out quickly. Vitamin A’s food based form is Beta-Carotene which is safer to take because it is less likely to overdose on at high doses. This vitamin is often used to help with eye health, immune system, skin, and other systems in the body. It is known for helping with night vision. Vitamin A is high in carrots along with sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, broccoli, and eggs. Vitamin A is also an antioxidant which fights against free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that can ultimately cause cancer and wreak havoc on the body.

There is more to come!

Headaches and Migraines

I’ve seen a lot of questions out there about headaches lately. This actually used to be a huge issue for me.       Many of the following supplements are herbs. Herbs should not be taken with medications, prescription or over the counter, because herbs can be very interactive with different chemicals especially if they are focusing on the same ailment. Here is an example to make this more clear. If I am going to take Ibuprofen, I don’t want to take butterbur, feverfew, or ginger during the 6 or so hours Ibuprofen would be active in my body. If you have any questions about taking natural supplements and you are on prescription medications, I recommend you ask your doctor or a pharmacist before taking them. The natural supplements and life tips that are well known for helping headaches and migraines are as follows: Natural Supplements: Butterbur - This herb helps alleviate inflammation and tension which oftentimes cause headaches or migraines.

Introductions

My name is Ahri Evelyn and I’m sharing my knowledge of health and wellness because health and wellness is life. My life. Your life. Everyone’s lives. I’ve always wanted to help people and share my knowledge with others to help them be healthy and well. My life of health and wellness started at age 2 when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. From then on, my goal in life was to stay healthy and feel good. Even when I was that young, I would ask the adults in my life giving me food if it has “oogur” in it. Of course everyone thought it was adorable, but even at a young age, I was thinking of my own health and wellness. Down the line, in high school, I was put on antidepressants due to anxiety and depression. A few years later, in my first year of college, I started working at a supplement store and began learning everything I could about anything I could get my hands on at the store. I learned about all the vitamins, minerals, several, if not all the other natural supplements...

Supplements for Anxiety

Most people get anxious every now and then. I’ve been planning my wedding for the past year and as the day got closer, my stress was out of control. Using some of the products below helped tremendously. If you are one of those unlucky individuals like me who suffers from daily anxiety, here are some things that could help! Natural Supplements: B complex - This information is also in my Allergies post . B Vitamins focus mainly on the nervous system. They also assist with energy production, stress response, and sleep quality. Who wouldn’t want to increase those? B Vitamins are one of my personal favorite supplements to take. The B vitamin I fell in love with a long time ago is by the Vitamin Shoppe Brand . B vitamins are water soluble which means that you can take as high a dose as you want and your body will absorb what is needed and flush out the rest. I wouldn’t recommend taking an insanely high amount though because they get flushed out through your kidneys and you don’t want t...
