The BEST Essential Vitamins for Women and Children

 With the health food shelves growing fuller by the day, choosing the right suppliments for you and your family can be challenging. The best vitamins for women need to perform some important functions like slowing the aging process, increasing energy levels, making the immune system stronger and aiding in creating a balance in female hormones. The best vitamin supplements for women are the ones that will offer the right vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed. You need to realize that women do have specific health needs and the best vitamins for women supplements really need to reflect this.

 As you know, taking supplements daily is an important step in your journey towards overall health and well-being. Furthermore, it`s often difficult to assess your intake of key nutrients from dietary sources alone. This is where supplements can come to the rescue. Just in case your dietary intake is not sufficient, supplements can provide a form of “nutritional insurance.”

In the same way that you may not know if you are getting all the right nutrients you need from your diet, you may also not be aware that your prescription medications may be depleting essential nutrients from your body. Dietary supplements can provide many health benefits.

Every day clients and friends ask me which are the best supplements to take. Below, you'll find the supplements I recommend for women and children. You will always find these health supplements in my house, my son and I take them every day. I use green foods, spirulina and flax seed oil for my smoothies, I also take religiously Brevail and essential woman every day.

In our fast-paced society, where our diets lack essential nutrients, it is very important to make sure that we provide our bodies with nutrients, that are essential to our health and general well being. Women have especial needs as well as children. Using supplements high in Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids and nutrients extracted from green foods, like the supplements below is highly recommended. Also very important for women is to take essential nutrients to maintain breast health, that is why I highly recommend  Brevail.

An important note from me to you

I know if you look at my picture, you'll agree that I don't look like a woman that is around the corner to be in her 40's, 38 to be exact.:) I take pride in my appearance and the way I take care of myself, from the inside out. When women (especially Moms) ask me what I do to look so healthy and young, I smile. Furthermore, I give them advice on how to take care of themselves so they can look and feel the best they can. I believe in longevity, and we women need to take care of ourselves from the inside out, especially once we pass our 30's.

If you have read my website, you know I follow a Holistic Life Style, believe in preventive healthcare, and using alternative medicine as an approach to maintain health. I don't eat meat, or follow the unhealthy American diet. I read every single ingredient/label on the products I buy and consume. I only use organic skin care products, and believe taking essential vitamins are necessary for us all. Not to long ago, I started to experience some discomfort and pain on my breast. Mood swings and even felt very tired, lacking energy at some point as well. If you personally know me, you'll know that I'm an extremely energetic and passionate person, full of life and very Spirited. The pain I experienced was not only physical but after doing a manual breast exam, I could feel as if I had a”green pea size lump on my breast" and it grow to a chickpea size. I'm not going to lie to you and say I was not a bit worry, and concern. My sister and some friends I spoke with, immediately suggested me to do a Mammogram. I don't know about you, but I do not believe in Mammograms and will never get one done. I think if you do your homework, you'll find that having a yearly Mammogram is actually the reason why many women develop breast cancer. Let's me ask you something. Do you think that having your breast squeezed hardly by a machine, while giving you radiation, can be of any good? So I decided to take matters into my hands and start taking some extra supplements, while cleaning my body of any "toxic or sick cells" that could be growing in my body. None less to say, after a few months and making some changes on my diet, increasing the amount of daily exercise and taking some specific supplements, those symptoms disappeared. I no longer feel pain in my breast, the lumps on my left breast are gone and no longer feel tired, or lacking energy.

I personally take Essential woman, Brevail and vitamin E every day. Every morning when I woke up, I ad 2000 mg of Vitamin C (ALACER Emergen-C High-Calcium Formula Mixed Berry 36 pckts ) to a bottle of water and then through the day, I drink at least 1.5 L of purified water. I take a daily smoothie made with almond milk, a banana, some mix berries and ad Omega 3's, and spirulina. One day I'll ad to the mix Nature’s Perfect Superfood and the next MacroLife Naturals Miracle Reds and some days I'll ad a scoop of both.:) A super drink buster!

Am I perfect? No, of course I'm not. However, I try to take care of myself from the inside out the best of my ability. I believe we can look young and healthy if we take responsibility for our health and educate ourselves. And I'm here to encourage all of you to do the same.

In Light, Love and Health

Sincerely

Ana Sola
