Health Essentials Every Men/Women Should Take

Hello, fitness lovers! No matter if you’re hitting the gym regularly or only just starting your journey in health, living your best life is related to what you put in your body, how you attempt to take care of your mind, and what stuff you expose yourself to. Today is about giving you health essentials every men & women should consider having in their routines, so take it as your list for a healthier/happier you!

For the Men: A Toolbox of Health Essentials

1. Multivitamins: Let’s face it, sometimes we don’t hit the mark with our diet. A quality multivitamin would help supplement your misses while ensuring that you get the necessary nutrients to power your energy levels and keep your body running optimally. Try to find men over 30 options or on the muscle wellness side if you are lifting weights constantly!

2. Protein Powders: No matter what phase you are in, bulking phase or maintaining phase, protein powders can offer a quick spike of protein in the body’s system in a convenient way after a workout. My personal favourite is always whey protein in the form of post-workout smoothies, however, plant based protein powders are also great options if you are dairy-free!

3. Omega-3 Supplements: I can’t count how many times I have heard about the benefits of omega-3 and immediately thought of when my uncle changed to taking fish oil supplements. He showed me his blood work, heart health, and feelings of wellness had improved. Omega-3 fats are excellent for reducing inflammation, and the benefits of Omega-3 for brain health cannot be overstated!

4. Personal Care Products: Guys, let’s not forget we have skin too! We all need to look after our skin, specifically with moisturizers, whichever skin type we are, whether oily, dry, or combination skin. Our skin needs as much TLC as our bodies!

5. Mental Health Apps: Taking care of your mind is just as important your body! I love meditation apps that help me escape and find a sense of calm within the chaos of last life. Meditation apps promote mindfulness, focus, and they also reduce anxiety!

For women getting their health essentials

1. Multivitamins: Women also reap the benefits of a daily multivitamin, similar to men. If you are a women, you might want to choose a multivitamin that includes iron if you are looking to support your energy levels or your menstrual health.

2. Probiotics: Gut health is important to our overall health and wellness, but lets face it, it can be difficult to have a well-balanced diet at all times, and that is where probiotics help us. Probiotics will contribute to good gut health, which will also contribute to improved energy levels and better mood… like I said, win-win!

3. Collagen Supplements: Collagen adds to your body whether you exercise or not! If you are interested in combating the aging process, you may also find that collagen is perfect to help with skin elasticity and joint health. Simply add a scoop to your morning coffee, and you are off to an excellent start!

4. Effective Sunscreen: I’m always a proponent of some sun, but keeping your skin protected from harmful rays is essential! Find a broad-spectrum sunscreen you love and make it a part of your morning routine; this will be one thing that you thank yourself for later!

5. Self-Care Products: Ladies, we can’t forget that self-care is not selfish. Whether that is relaxing with a face mask or a bath bomb, you must take time to take care of you. Don’t forget that your mental and emotional health are just as important as your physical health.

Shared Health Essentials for Everyone

1. Hydration: This may seem obvious, but hydration is important for all humans (male and female); I like to keep a reusable water bottle nearby and sometimes just having it visible reminds me to drink!

2. Quality Sleep Products: Don’t underestimate the benefits of a good night’s sleep. Investing in a comfortable mattress and some quality bedding can go a long way, and if you’re like me and are a light sleeper, a sleep mask or white noise machine may also be worth checking out.

3. Fitness Lumber: No matter whether you like running, yoga, or CrossFit, the right gear can help make your workout. Comfortable shoes, lightweight workout clothes, and supportive sports bras (if you’re a woman!) are always a great investment.

4. First-Aid Kits: This is one of those things you never think about until you need it! Having a first-aid kit stocked is a must have at home for the oddly common small accidents and injuries you’re bound to toll even before the weekends over.

5. Free Educational Resources: Understanding what goes into your body is crucial. Use free materials—books, websites, and maybe even a few recreation center fitness classes—that resonate with you. When you have the education to understand what’s good for you and what isn’t, you are much more likely to make the right choices.

To Recap

There you have it! An abundance of health essentials designed for every individual on a journey to better health. Health is a comprehensive journey involving the mind, body, and soul. Remember, it is not about being perfect, it is about making those decisions that work for you!
