Q: As a working mom and wife, I'm just so tired all the time. Is there something I can do?
A: As working women we often take care of everyone else's needs first and then take care of ourselves if there is enough time. It wears us down, particularly if we are not eating and getting enough sleep at night. There is something you can do that is so easy, we often overlook it and that is taking supplements.
Taking a pharmaceutical grade multivitamin with additional B vitamins is essential for those of us who are running at high stress levels on a daily basis. The B vitamins are restorative and you will often feel a boost within the first week. Taking a complex B vitamin, along with B5 (pantothenic acid) which is great for adrenal fatigue, B12 (cyanocobalamin) which is essential for maintenance of the nervous system and production of energy can help boost energy.
If you are opposed to taking pills, sometimes you can take these vitamins in liquid form or sublingually (under the tongue). There is a different school of thought now with taking multivitamins. Instead of one a day, it is now thought taking two pharmaceutical grade multivitamins is better. It's difficult to get all of our nutrients in our food. This is preferred, but the average person does not consume three to four servings of fruit and vegetables. Also, make sure you get high quality vitamins. Cheaper does not necessarily mean better. You want to make sure there aren't a lot of fillers in the vitamins you are using.
