I know I am. It's tough enough to try and get your daily water intake, so I'm a huge fan of the sparkling kind. I know that I can, easily, reach the amount I need on a daily basis if it has just the right amount of carbonation.
I thought that I would play around with some sparking water and NB Pure's Daily Multi-Fiber. Big fan of the fiber, HUGE fan actually. I'm an on the go, gotta pick up my kids, hard to find the time to eat all the fiber I need in a day, kind of lady. By the way, did you know that you need to eat 25-30 grams of fiber a day and that most people only successfully eat 15 grams (source WebMD)? If you add up your grams of fiber at the end of a normal day, and you're coming up short, you may want to look into adding a fiber supplement like NB Pure's Daily Multi-Fiber into your day to day nutritional line up. Let me, quickly, fill you in on the details of this notoriously popular and healthy Daily Multi-Fiber.
In a nutshell, it is an acupuncture principle that has been used for thousands of years. Acupuncture is something that not everyone can do on themselves, but acupressure, is something that with practice, you can utilize on a more daily basis. Acupressure can help with anxiety, pain, tiredness, and plenty more. The practice of acupressure works along side your body's meridians. Meridians are invisible channels that run from your fingertips and connect your brain and organs to create a communication channel. If there is a block or imbalance on one of these meridians, it is believed that you feel sick, tired, etc. This practice stems from ancient Chinese medicinal practices.

Daily Multi Fiber is one of those products that seems superfluous -- until you try it, and you wonder how you have ever lived without it. We spoke with a dietician and created a list of 5 EASY drink ideas that you can add your Daily Multi Fiber to. Don't get it wrong, mixing it with good ol' fashion water is still great, but it can be fun to switch up your fiber routine.
Let's talk about the fiber first. For these "fibertails" (okay, don't judge us, we're still working on a nickname), we chose NB Pure's Pure Vegan Daily Multi-Fiber in the coconut lime flavor. Coconut and lime are two of our favorite flavors separately, but when put together ::chef's kiss::.
Please enjoy these drinks, we know we did!
It is vital to include vitamins and minerals in your diet and lifestyle. They help you fight off diseases and stay healthy. When we discuss the most helpful vitamins with doctors, Vitamin D and Vitamin C are often at the top of the list. Both vitamins are helpful for the human body. So what makes them so special? Vitamin C and Vitamin D are both illness fighting nutrients. They help safeguard your health and your immunity. We decided to compare the two. At some point, I'm sure you also wondered what make these two vitamins helpful and which one provides more benefits. Which one does a better job at keeping the infections away?
Let's get to the point, although both vitamins are important and do their own things individually, it's important to not be deficient in any of these. What happens if you're deficient in either of these? For a vitamin D deficiency, the signs are often subtle. Some symptoms include fatigue, increased frequency of colds and infections, mood swings, muscle pain, and many more. What about Vitamin C? A vitamin C deficiency looks a bit like this: rough bumpy skin, corkscrew shaped body hair, bright red hair follicles, spoon shaped fingernails, dry + damaged skin, easy bruising, painful joints, and others.
So, let's discuss - what do these two supplements do?
Vitamin C has strength in fighting free radical damages, it gets rid of toxins, and promotes cellular function. It can also help boost absorptions of other nutrients like vitamin E, zinc, iron, folate, and vitamin D.
Vitamin D, on the other hand, is the sunshine vitamin. It can strengthen your bones, your skin, and your natural defenses.
When we look at the two side by side, which boosts immunity in a better way? The popular opinion would say Vitamin C, but studies have shown that it is actually vitamin D. It does a better job in going up against viruses and germs. Vitamin C is still purposeful in immunity boosting, but it can not be your only bet.
When you're gearing up to pick up your supplements, consider getting them both. They both work well together and together, they fight off infections and viruses best as a team.
