 Of course top of the list is making sure to get a balanced diet including your 5 vegetables + 2 fruit a day, lean protein, and staying hydrated with good quality water.  If you struggle to eat the perfect diet each day, or have an increased need for nutrients, then you might like to consider supporting your health with natural, plant based supplements which are easy for the body to absorb.

Magnesium is missing in our soil in New Zealand, so it doesn’t get into our fruit and vegetables, which means most people could do with a dietary top up of natural Magnesium.  Magnesium supports relaxation of our muscles and nervous system to help through stressful times and with the quality of our sleep.  Magnesium is also important for bone health, cardio-vascular health and for energy production.  Being involved in over 300 chemical processes in our body, it is one of the most important nutrients for our health and wellbeing.  Lifestream Natural Magnesium comes in a powder form (and powder in capsules) which makes it easy to absorb.

If you are in need of an energy turbo-boost then Lifestream Spirulina Performance Blue could be the answer. This nutrient rich superfood is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, GLA and plant protein, with an easily absorbable form of iron.  The “blue” part is phycocyanin which is a protein with antioxidant properties to protect against oxidative stress, support for recovery after exercise and during stressful times, and for healthy immunity.

Seasonal allergens can leave us feeling drained of energy and definitely not in the party mood!  Lifestream Ultra Immunity Response supports sinuses, throat and lungs at the onset of allergens and can be used on a daily basis when required.  It contains traditionally used herbs which support the health of our muscous membranes, and Lemon balm which also provides stress support.

Lifestream Astazan 6mg contains the powerful antioxidant Astaxanthin, naturally plant sourced from the red alage Haematococcus pluvial (vegan friendly), dried and extracted in Nelson, New Zealand.  With many clinical studies showing it provides protection from oxidative stress, support for joint and muscle health for fast recovery after exercise, cardiovascular and immune system health, eye and skin health, and support for mental focus and clarity- it is a truly amazing antioxidant, support for adults of all ages.

For those who experience digestive discomfort through experiencing stressful times there is a wonderful combination to support during the festive season.  Lifestream biogenic® Aloe Vera which calms and soothes the digestive system, and Lifestream Advanced Probiotics Mood + Immune which supports the brain-gut axis by topping up our good bacteria with strains of beneficial bacteria for digestive comfort, healthy mood and immunity.

So remember to take care of yourself as we farewell 2018 and head into 2019.  Topping up your nutrients might be just the thing to ensure you are relaxed, and have the energy, to enjoy the festive season.
