National SMT: Plant-Based Foods and Supplements

Plant-based diets and supplements are becoming increasingly popular as people become more intentional about what they’re putting in their bodies. Plant based supplements are a convenient way to support your immunity, stress levels, and even skincare routine. I am excited to partner with The Vitamin Shoppe for over 30 segments to share their benefits.

For daily wellness support

For daily wellness support try Kuli Kuli’s SuperGummies are a delicious way to get a daily dose of superfood ingredients that pack a powerful nutritional punch. Coming in three amazing flavors, each 2-gummy serving contains over 400mg of superfoods, like turmeric and moringa, that research suggest may support things like weight management and blood sugar management.

For immune support

Health professionals have predicted that this may be an especially severe flu season. Keeping your immune system healthy year-round is key to preventing infection and disease. Making healthy lifestyle choices like eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep and exercising are great ways to support your immune health. But supplements can also be of benefit and help ensure your body gets the vitamins and minerals it needs. I love the Super Green Smoothie Mix from Your Super. It is packed with 6 powerful superfood ingredients including wheatgrass and spirulina, and is designed to support immunity and overall health. I also like the Smarter Greens Digestion Powder from Force Factor, which provides essential vitamins, minerals and fiber from more than 40 fruits, veggies and superfood ingredients. It’s a great daily option to help you feel your best.

For beauty

Green and plant-based beauty supplements are definitely having a moment – think of it as beauty from the inside out. Some studies suggest that ingesting vitamins and supplements may have a more noticeable effect on your appearance, compared to topically-applied products.I have some great options here. The Sea Moss Superfood Powder from Atlantic Naturals is packed with 92 vitamins and minerals, as well as collagen, which studies suggest can help improve skin appearance. It’s actually delicious and can easily be mixed into water or a smoothie. Another option is from The Vitamin Shoppe brand. Their Liquid Chlorophyll supplement supports immunity and healthy skin, and can even act as an internal deodorizer.

For stress

This is a busy time of year for most, so it’s no wonder many people are feeling stressed. While there is no quick fix for busy schedules, we can support and manage our stress with exercise, meditation techniques, and also by monitoring what we put into our bodies. For example, Ashwagandha helps the body manage stress. It is a natural herb that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and help the body adapt to stress by naturally reducing cortisol levels.
