One of the biggest battles of winter seems to be keeping everyone healthy. Low temperatures can increase the likelihood of getting sick.
The body is not as effective at fighting a virus when cold air enters the nose and upper airways, so the common cold and flu often spread more easily in the winter. But even with viruses and germs seeming to run rampant in the colder months, there are things you can do to help keep the family in tip-top shape and I’ve partnered with Superior Source to share those with you.
Welcome To The UNGUMMY Vitamin Movement!
If you’re concerned with how much added sugar you’re finding in gummy vitamins, I want to direct your attention to Superior Source and their Clean Melts Children’s Vitamins. The Superior Source Team creates their vitamins to be the better choice! Inside, you’ll find only pure ingredients.
Why I Love Superior Source Vitamin’s Clean Melts
The Kid’s Clean Melts contain no glucose syrup, cane sugar, gelatin, artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. Parents can rest easy knowing there are no fillers, no additives, no excipients and no Magnesium Stearate or Silica. These vitamins are non-GMO, gluten-free, preservative free, and dye free.
While other vitamins require lots of binders to hold them together, the Clean Melts micro tablets only contain the pure active nutrients and other necessary natural ingredients. Plus… Kids Clean Melts have 96% less sugar than the average gummy!
The Flavor
My kids said these don’t taste too bad. A bit sour is actually how they describe them.
Why Dissolve Tablets Are Best
Years ago, I remember reading a social media post from a friend who had been in a car accident. They did x-rays and she was shocked that they could actually see some of her undissolved daily vitamins sitting in her stomach. How much benefit can these tablets be if they take a long time to dissolve so our bodies can absorb them!? Plus, did you know that by swallowing supplements, as much as 50% of the potency is lost in the high acid environment of the stomach.
Ever since then, I’ve been on a mission to use only dissolvable, chewable, or liquid vitamins. Superior Source’s ‘under the tongue’ dissolvable technology means your vitamins will work fast as they are quickly absorbed into the body.
Top 6 Ways To Boost Your Immune System In The Winter
- Limit Unhealthy Foods: Eating a well-balanced diet is one of the biggest things you can do to help your body stay healthy. While a bit difficult over the holidays, this also includes limiting the amount of sugar you consume. Keep healthier snack options on hand so the kids (and you) can make better choices.
- Increase Intake Of Fresh Fruits And Veggies: I feel like it’s super easy to eat healthy during the summer. Fresh fruit is easy to come by and nothing tastes better on a hot day than a juicy piece of freshly cut watermelon. Even in the winter time, there are still plenty of fresh seasonal product to choose from so be sure to shop the outside aisles of the supermarket and load your cart with that produce.
- Maintain An Active Lifestyle: Exercising regularly or just making sure to stay active is HUGE. I live in Minnesota, so I get this is especially hard in places where the winters are bitter cold, but lack of exercise during these months can greatly contribute to the drop in our immune systems. So this year, make time for your usual exercise routine, no matter how busy you are.
- Make Rest A Priority: Getting enough good sleep is important all year round. With many people not being as active in the winter, it may be harder to get to sleep at night. But remember, getting six to eight hours of sleep as an adult is vital to your health and productivity. Children need even more rest; 8-14 hours depending on age.
- Drink Your Water: We all know that water should be your beverage of choice and staying hydrated is important. So even if you’re not thirsty as often right now, be sure to sip water throughout the day. Another important aspect is to limit sugary beverages.
- Remember Your Vitamins: Vitamins have a variety of jobs to help keep the body working properly. Some vitamins help you resist infections and keep your nerves healthy, while others may help your body get energy from food or help your blood clot properly. Taking your daily vitamins is a good habit to get into for all ages and Superior Source has some really great new options for the kids!
