I’m 56 years old now. When I turned 48, my perimenopause change threw me for a loop. It was a time of change and I had to consult the wise women around me for advice. What I learned was helpful in managing this new phase of life.
Reliable medical sources indicate that as women enter their 40s, they experience many physical and hormonal changes. Most women aged 40 and up have finished having children and are starting to enter perimenopause. It is also a time when most women are at their busiest. With full-time careers and families to take care of, women over 40 need to be at the top of their game.
Good health doesn’t just happen. Getting the right nutrients, vitamins, and minerals out of your diet is essential in maintaining good health. With a busy schedule and constant demands on their time, many women find it hard to stay on track with a healthy diet.
Adding a multivitamin to your diet can help you add the balance that is so important. Supplements from O.N.E. Multivitamin are specially formulated to fill the gaps present in your current diet. Let’s look at a few benefits of a daily multivitamin for women over 40.
Improved Mood
When you add a multivitamin to your daily routine, you provide your brain and body with the necessary nutrients to support your neurological and emotional systems. Proper nutrition has been shown to help increase healthy levels of serotonin which contributes to your mood. Adding a multivitamin to your diet can help you to elevate your mood and less likely to suffer from issues like depression and anxiety.
Energy Boost
If your diet is not providing your body with the proper nutrients, it must work harder to complete simple digestion and muscle maintenance tasks. The extra energy devoted to regular body functions can make you feel sluggish and fatigued. Multivitamins can give you the extra vitamins and minerals that you need to increase your energy levels and help keep you fit.
Stress Relief
A body that isn’t adequately nourished can be under incredible strain. This type of stress can begin as a physical impairment but can quickly manifest into emotional symptoms like anxiety. Having the right balance of nutrients can help your body function more efficiently and relieve symptoms of stress. A multivitamin can help your body to reduce overall levels of stress.
Bone Strength
Women over 40 are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis if they aren’t getting sufficient calcium and vitamins in their daily diet. Adding a multivitamin can help to keep healthy levels of calcium in the body, keeping bones and tissues strong.
Muscle Health
Very few women in their 40s have the same kind of muscle health as they did when they were in their 20’s. Regular exercise is one way to keep your body fit and strong, but internal health is also essential. As we age, free radicals in the body are primarily responsible for muscle deterioration. Taking a multivitamin can help keep these free radicals in check and increase your muscle strength and mass.
Enjoying healthy benefits like increased energy, stress relief, and muscle maintenance can be yours when you add a multivitamin to your routine. Talk to your doctor about what formulation is the right fit for you today.
