In our busy lives, it's easy to forget the little things that support our health. One important thing to remember is to take your vitamins daily. With so many things competing for our attention, it can be hard to remember to give our bodies the nutrients they need. But don't worry! By adding some simple strategies to your daily routine, you can easily make taking your vitamins a habit and enjoy the benefits of a healthy routine. In this article, we'll share some practical tips and healthy habits to make it easier to take care of yourself.
Benefits of taking vitamins every day
There are many benefits to taking a vitamin or supplement daily:
- Nutrient needs: Nutrients have many important roles in the body, and these actions happen every day, all the time. Your body needs good nutrition every day. Supplements can help fill in nutritional gaps in your diet and help support your nutrient needs.
- Self-care: While self-care can be taken to mean pampering and things that are done occasionally to make you feel good, true self-care is doing the day-to-day actions that show your body you are taking care of its needs.
How to make it easier to remember to take your vitamins
It’s one thing to know that you should take your vitamins every day, it’s another thing to remember to do it! Let’s discuss some key tips to make taking your vitamins one of your daily healthy habits.
Establishing a vitamin routine
- Safety first: If you’re a parent, no matter how small your children may be, it’s important to keep your vitamins and supplements out of the reach of children. It is always good practice to keep your supplements, along with your medications as well, in a place children cannot get to them.
- Connect the dots: One great way to set up a vitamin routine is to link taking your vitamins with something else that you do every day. For example, some people find taking their vitamins right before they brush their teeth useful. Others take them while they are brewing their morning cup of coffee or after breakfast. Linking taking your daily vitamins with another daily healthy habit makes it more likely that you’ll remember to take your vitamins regularly.
- Activate the alarm: You can use your phone’s alarm or reminder system to set a daily ping for when you need to take your vitamins.
- A sticky solution: For some people, a visual reminder is what they need. You can put a post-it note somewhere that you will see daily to remind you to take your vitamins.
- Go gummy: Some people find it easier to take gummy vitamins because they taste great, versus having to struggle to take a pill. Vitafusion™ gummies have lots of great options for your vitamin and mineral needs.
- Backup plan: In case you forget to take your vitamins at home, you can keep a second set with you at work or in your bag. Forgotten vitamins? No problem! You can use a travel-sized container to hold a few of your vitamins to make it easier. Just remember to keep them at room temperature and not in a car.
Organizing and storing vitamins
- Smart location: Where you keep your vitamins matters. Keep them in a place where you will see them. If you have to dig around in cupboards or move things around to find your vitamin container, you may forget to take them.
- Organize it: Using a pill organizer gives you a visual cue as to whether you have taken your vitamins already. Pill organizers come in a wide variety of sizes and container styles, and many have separate sections for different days of the week. You can choose one that holds all different sizes or shapes of vitamins.
- Take them to go: Even when traveling you can have the vitamins you need at the ready. Pack up a travel-sized container with the vitamins needed for your trip. Just remember to keep them at room temperature. Your body will thank you!
