I decided to write this article in response to the many questions I receive every day on how to buy health & fitness products and what to take each and every day. I realize that there have been and continue to be a plethora a fitness products on the market and buying based on the label having your favorite color just won't cut it and your body won't appreciate that either. There is also the fast realization that after awhile it seems as if you should be taking dozens of products to get the health benefits that you desire. Well today I am going to simplify the approach to what you supplement with and provide you with some choices of products that my customers take and love and what I take and love. I can't claim that I have taken every product in our line or on the market but over the course of 20+ years I have purchased so many products and when I joined Mannatech I tried from start to finish at least 15 products. So how do you buy health and fitness supplements?
You buy based on what your needs are and what will support your fitness and health goals. First of all, start with a healthy diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, organic is best and will not have any pesticides or herbicides nor will it be genetically modified (look for the label NO GMO). So in other words, get as much nutrition from your diet and supplement what you are not getting. For instance, I don't eat a ton of vegetables so I know it is of the utmost importance that I supplement with a whole food supplement and I usually turn to Nutriverus, Phytomatrix or Phyto Aloe to make certain I am getting what my body needs. So look at your diet and eating habits and start by choosing a supplement that fills in the gaps. If you eat a lot of fish or flax seeds then maybe you don't need an omega 3/6/9 supplement. Do you exercise? What types of exercise do you perform? If you are a Crossfit enthusiast then perhaps a really good pre-workout drink that will provide you with the energy you need to crank out those reps and recover quickly is a good choice. I play racquetball and lift weights and I rely on taking Empact to give me that edge and provide me the endurance I need to workout longer and harder. What about post workout? This is my favorite time to take my supplements as I can feel them replenishing my body of what it lost through strenuous exercise. I look towards Osolean which gives me protein to build muscle but it also burns fat and keeps me nice and lean and muscular. If I am pressed for time and can't get a meal after the gym then a chocolate shake using Glycoslim is a terrific choice for me and keeps me from crashing. These choices are based on my goals and my fitness lifestyle. If you're not a gym rat and prefer taking a yoga class or a brisk walk or bike ride then a pre-workout drink may not be worth the investment as you will not feel the benefit of what it was designed for. A better choice might be Cardio Balance or Phytoburst chews which will provide great nutrition and support your cardiovascular system. I know a lot of people I talk to who workout on a regular basis have one main concern and it is one that they have had little success with achieving and that is a recovery supplement that reduces post workout muscle soreness. I have great news and this supplement is a must for you gym rats. Check out our Bounceback recovery supplement, this is a must! Say goodbye to fatigued and tired muscles when you wake up in the morning, just two capsules post workout and you will notice a big difference in your energy come the next day. If you really want to get full muscle relaxation I recommend taking this with some kava kava (sold separately). You will sleep great and be ready for your next workout when you roll out of bed. Now for your everyday health and wellness I recommend a whole food supplement such as Phytomatrix or Nutriverus and Advanced Ambrotose. This combination is powerful and will have numerous benefits to your overall health and well being and will boost your immune system awekening it and empowering it at the same time. If you do not exercise or are unable to then these two must be in your daily arsenal.
Now on to a subject that is of such importance I am not sure why I saved it for last but here it is. Everyday we are bombarded with toxins, whether it be the air we breathe, the chlorine and fluoride in our water supply or the pesticides and herbicides we consume in the foods we eat. Our bodies are loaded with toxins! The number one toxin is drugs, both prescription and non-prescription drugs are all loaded with toxins that are stored in our bodies. So before you venture on any health kick or purchase any supplements you must first prep your body to be able to absorb them and this all starts in the intestinal tract which happens to be a big part of our immune system. I highly recommend Manna Cleanse combined with Mannatech's probiotic GI Pro Balance and GI Zyme which will significantly improve your nutrient absorption. Removing toxins from your body will also improve your mood, your cognitive thinking and will certainly improve your energy.
Now lets not forget about those children in your life as their health is of the upmost importance and is being impacted by the poor choices of food available in our modern processed food diet both at home and especially in school. As you know, kids are sensitive to taste and they are going to want to take vitamins that taste good and with that being said they are going to love Mannabears. They may look like gummy bears but they are loaded with whole foods and packed with Ambrotose to provide ample glyconutrients that will keep your children looking and feeling great.
As you can see, how to buy health and fitness products is going to be different for everyone and based on your individual needs. Remember if you still don't know what to choose go with Nutriverus, our all in one tub of goodness. And last but not least, we are continually adding beneficial information to our website to help educate consumers of our products so they can make the best choice for themselves and their family.
