Thank you and congrats to those who walked, jogged, and ran the Night Flight Run Friday night with me ==> Nicole, Jamie, Sondra, Marta, Melody, Jerri, Christie, Carolyn, Kristin, Kelly, and Joni.
Melody asked me ALL day Friday before the race about all the proper nutrients to consume prior to the run. Whether you’re coming to train with us in class or running a 5k race or whatever, you have to be properly fueled up or your fat loss efforts will come to a halt.
Do you know why Melody is hitting her fat loss goals every single week and every single month and was the Biggest Loser during the last Transformation Contest?
She takes advantage of ME. Huh? Takes advantage? WTF!!
Yes. Since she has hired me as her Coach, like all my Sexy Sexy members of my Entourage, she takes advantage of her time with me and picks my brain all day, every day. She is Proactive, not Reactive, and wants to create a better body and better life for herself.
She asks me questions by phone calls, email, Facebook, and text messages about things she has questions about so she doesn't have to "react" and wait until she gets fatter. She's fighting her fat loss efforts head on.
Ok, so you know Vitamins and Minerals are important. Most every woman knows that.
However, not everyone understands WHY they are so important for their body. I met up with Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter during the fitness seminar two weeks ago and asked him to give us the easy rundown on the Top Women's Vitamins. Here's what he had to say:
Vitamin A - This vitamin contributes to the health of you eyes, skin and nails.
Vitamim B - While B Vitamins are often referred to as "energy vitamins" they don't actually give you a surge of energy, per se. What they actually do is help facilitate metabolic reaction in the body to create energy. They're also necessary for a healthy metabolism.
Vitamin C - This women's vitamin is a great antioxidant and immune system booster. It also helps skin health.
Vitamin D - Helps women absorb calcium. And it may help prevent certain types of cancer.
Calcium - It's actually a mineral not a vitamin. And as most women know already, it improves bone density.
Pretty simple, right? But you can also see why it's so important to understand vitamins for women. When we understand the reasons to make healthier choices it helps us make them.
Now, I get asked all the time by women which vitamin supplements, if any, they need to be taking. Great question.
Well, if your nutrition is 100% perfect all the time then you probably don't need to take any.
Like I’ve said in class before, if you consume at least three servings of fish per week you don’t need to take Omega-3 vitamins. If you are consuming three servings of lean meat per day, you don’t need to drink a protein shake, etc, etc.
But that's not the case for most women. Most women are busy as heck and don't always find the time for proper nutrition. So if that's the case with you I recommend taking a Whole Foods based Multi-Vitamin. And the only one I recommend is Prograde Nutrition's VGF 25+ for Women.
It's actually really cool because it's literally made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits. You should definitely check out
Prograde's Women's Vitamins. At the very top of the page is the list of ingredients. You can see the 25 whole foods they use to make VGF 25+ for Women.
Pretty cool, huh? The nutrition of 25 whole foods in a bottle!
If you want to save tons of moolah and you need extra protein, the perfect Multi-vitamin, and Omega-3’s, then the
Prograde combo packs are the best bang for your buck.
