Winter is when most children and adults are prone to catching colds, the flu, etc. The excitement of the holiday season can also take a toll on the bodyβs neuromusculoskeletal system, leaving the individual more susceptible to illness. Digestive issues such as bloating, cramping, and constipation are also common. Certain supplements can help maintain body, gut, and brain holiday health. Here are a few recommended supplements to take during the holidays.
To help fill in the gaps from the holiday foods and increase energy, holiday health supplements to consider adding include:
