How To Meet Your Daily Vitamin Needs

In today’s society of fast-paced living, it can be tempting to go for fast food options, takeaway on the way home, or oven chips and nuggets.

We all do it and let’s not pretend we don’t all love the taste of a takeaway as much as the no washing up!

Unfortunately, these meals don’t do anything good for our health, surprise surprise.. and they are not even close to meeting our Daily Vitamin Needs.


What Vitamins Do I Need?


First off if you want to improve your Vitamin intake you need to understand what Vitamins you need.

These are some of the most common Vitamins Lacking from everyday diets:

  • Vitamin D

  • Vitamin B12

  • Vitamin A

  • Calcium

  • Minerals including - Magnesium and Iron

Food these days just doesn’t have the nutrients levels we require and let’s face it eating 5 portions of fruit and veg a day is hard work sometimes!


Easy Ways To Meet Your Daily Vitamin Needs.


Smoothies

  • Multiple vitamins and minerals in one drink

  • High in fibre

  • A great way to disguise any fruits or vegetables you don’t like

  • The perfect on-the-go option

  • Endless combinations

Healthy foods

Being Prepared

  • Have carrots, cucumber, pepper, or celery sticks chopped and at the ready in the fridge.

  • You are more likely to meet your daily vitamin goals if you have healthy, nutritious food available and ready to eat.

  • I also love hummus and avocado to dip.

healthy muffins

Muffins

  • Homemade Muffins can be a great choice and a quick on-the-go breakfast.

  • Source of whole grains, protein, and fibre.

  • Experiment with different fruit and veg combinations.

Use Pinterest

Pinterest is a great way to find ideas, get inspiration, and save recipes.

By having these ideas, inspo, and recipes saved in one place, when you are in the supermarket or at home wondering what to make you can easily access loads of ideas.


Essentially meeting your daily vitamin and mineral needs is about variety and good nutrition.

Taking the time to look up recipes and learn about the benefits of good nutrition as well as the negative impact of poor nutrition is a massive step in a healthy lifestyle.

The more you make those healthy choices the better your mind and body will feel and the easier and more natural it will become to sway away from those processed options and fuel your body with nutrition-rich foods.
