3 Easy Steps Towards a Healthier Lifestyle (plus a $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway)


These days, many of us live a busy lifestyle that is filled with rushes and deadlines.  The to-do list we have is always long and never seem to end.  Taking time off or taking good care of ourselves seem to be last on the list, especially for busy Moms with young kids.  However, it is very critical that we take good care of ourselves so that we stay healthy and be able to take care of our family.  Plus, it is a great way to set a good example for our kids.  Today, I am sharing 3 Easy Steps that you can follow towards a healthier lifestyle, plus a $100 Visa gift card Giveaway at the end of the post.

1) Make Healthy Food Accessible

I love filling my fridge and pantry with lots of healthy choices.  Fresh fruit and vegetables are items that you’ll always find in my fridge.  Instead of grabbing a bag of chips or candy bar, having some fresh fruit is a way better choice and more satisfying.  Plus, I won’t feel guilty after eating.  Also, we stopped buying soda long ago; instead, we fill the fridge with mineral sparkling water in case we crave for some carbonated drinks.  Mix the sparkling water with some fresh fruit juice makes a wonderful drink as well.

2) Consistency


Maintaining a good habit or routine is also important to achieve a healthier lifestyle.   I’ve been taking vitafusion™ Women’s Multivitamin for a long time and recently added vitafusion™ ImmuneWell™ to my daily routine.

Trip

ImmuneWell™ comes in handy and provides immune system support with high potency Vitamins C and D and cellular support with Zinc*.  When I am at home, I love to keep my vitamins next to my coffee beans so that I remember to take them every morning when I prepare coffee.  When I travel, I make sure to take them with me in my purse, wherever I go!  With no water needed, these convenient and great tasting immune support gummies are perfect on the go.*




I truly enjoy the fruity taste of these gummies.  Three ImmuneWell™ gummies are all we needed daily.  Best of all, all vitafusion™ products are gluten-free, and made with natural fruit flavors and colors derived from fruits, vegetables and plants.  There are no high fructose corn syrup, nor synthetic (FD&C) dyes!  The vitafusion™ gummy vitamins are available at club, drug and grocery stores nationwide including: Costco, Walmart, Target and Walgreens. More information can be found at www.gummyvites.com.
  


3) Set a Goal
Last but not least, set a goal on what you want to achieve.  Whether it is the number of pounds you want to lose, cutting out process food from your diet, or eating more fruit and vegetables every meal.  You can set a goal of walking up the office building instead of taking the elevator, as simple as that.  Make sure to set a goal that is achievable and measurable to ensure success.  For myself, I want to incorporate daily exercise to my routine.  My initial goal would be 20 minute of exercise in the morning for at least 3 times a week.  I might extend the time once I get a hang of it, or add another set of 20 minutes of exercise in the evening.   

Now, time for the giveaway!  To enter for a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card, simply leave a comment below and tell me if you take your vitamins and how you remind yourself to take them every day.

  13. I am with you Amy! Amen for setting an example for your children to follow. I have been taking vitamins since I was sixteen, and still do regularly. I take them mostly in the evening before going to bed, but if I forget ( and I do at times) I will take them in the morning with breakfast. That's how I remember to take them. It's been a habit for most of my life, like brushing my teeth. LOVE this post! :)
