Overall wellness is more than just drinking vitamins and supplements as part of your daily, but so is taking a good diet, 6-8 hours of sleep, physical activity, good hygiene and drinking the right vitamins are some of the best ways to strengthen our immune system.
Vitamins are essential to good health and wellness, especially in this pandemic. How do we know which vitamins are right for us?
Different vitamins work in different ways. Vitamin C, which is water soluble, can be taken in recommended amounts at any time of the day. Also water soluble are B vitamins, which can be taken any time during the day. On the other hand, fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K dissolve in oil and need to be taken with meals for enhanced absorption. Iron supplements are okay for an empty stomach but not taken with calcium. As for minerals, don’t drink calcium, zinc or magnesium supplements at the same time. It’s best to have them with meals.
