When I hit my forties, I started experiencing several symptoms associated with menopause. Brittle nails, more hair loss than I was used to and feeling tired for long periods at a time. I was not concerned at first. I mean, everyone knows that when you hit the big four-o, your body starts changing and your hormone levels fluctuate. However, that did not stop me from eventually looking for vitamin supplements to help me deal with those symptoms. Trust me, broken nails and brittle hair are not as harmless as they…

When I was fifty-three, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, or what most people know as thinning of the bones. It was at a time when I was experiencing an alarming number of fractures. My doctor explained that the increased number of broken bones with minor injuries was caused by the lower density of my bones. Summarily, an impact that would have resulted in little pain in the past could now put me in the hospital. As a result of this diagnosis, I was put on a regimen of calcium and…

I have 2 cats which are always going into the garden and eating my plants. I am sure if you have cats yourself this will be of no surprise. If you have cats which roam over the different gardens then the chances are they are eating from other peoples gardens and your plants are quite safe. Well because your cat needs to eat it’s greens just like you and I they tend to eat whats in front of them and that’s pretty much your house plants.

I have always wanted to start a family. When I got to thirty-five, my wife and I decided that it was the perfect time to pursue our dreams. Since it was something new for us, when my wife became pregnant we started taking measures to ensure that the pregnancy would be successful. We researched on things to do to boost our baby’s chances of survival. That is when one of my friends introduced me to Body by Nature’s vegan supplements. She told me about her journey through her pregnancy and…

Many articles I have read informed me that it was important for me to take seafood about thrice a week because seafood is an important source of omega oils as well as minerals such as iodine. With my job, I neither have the time to go to the market to get seafood nor to prepare it. So vitamin supplements are my best source of these essential oils and minerals.

A few months ago, I was involved in an accident which left my left leg in terrible shape. I do not think I had ever felt as much pain in my forty years as I did on that day. Fast-forward a few days after the incident, I had a total knee replacement surgery done on my left leg. I had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks, during which time I alternated between learning to walk with the help of a cane, go about my daily chores with…

I started using statins immediately following my first heart attack. At 63, I knew that I was at great risk of having a second heart attack, especially since my family has a history of cardiovascular disease. Anyway, I do not know if you can imagine how scary it is to know that you can have a second attack at any time. That’s why I started using the drugs – to get rid of these thoughts that at any time, I could have that ache in my chest letting me know…

Transitioning from a regular eater to a vegan was hard for me. TV shows and other vegans do not tell you how hard it can be to quit eating your favorite meals because they contain animal-based foods. Anyway, going vegan for me was about changing to a healthier lifestyle. I stopped eating processed meats and carbs and took up morning runs because I wanted to be healthy. However, I also wanted to ensure that my transition would be sustainable in the long run.

If you are like me when I was looking for vitamin supplements to keep me up and running, then you are looking for the short version of why to take the vitamins. Before I discovered Body by Nature’s wide range of high-quality vegan supplements (and I fully stand by that endorsement), I spent a lot of time surfing the net for the perfect supplements. I took time to get recommendations from friends because I had to be sure whatever I used would work for me, and hearing others’ points of…

Many people my age do not understand why I insist on taking vitamin supplements. After all, aren’t supplements for older men and women? With my twenty-four years, it seems like a bit of a stretch to be taking multivitamins. However, being brought up in my mum’s household, I grew up knowing how important it is to keep fit, and one way to do that is to take supplements.
