Beauty and Health Supplements You Need In Your Life

Aging, a high risk of cancer, and having a weak immune system is our worst nightmare. Do you know what supplements your body needs?

Why Do You Need Supplements?
‍Supplements are essential in your daily life to keep your body strong and healthy. It is important to make sure you are intaking the right amount of nutrients every day to help improve your health, skin, weight, and physical performance. We take in supplements and nutrients not to just ensure that we are healthy, but to increase our lifespan as much as possible. As we age, our bodies tend to grow weaker, limiting us to perform certain activities such as playing a sport.

‍Supplements You Need

1. Curcumin: Curcumin is a compound for turmeric spice powder that is derived from the ginger family. This supplement contains antioxidant properties that function to protect your skin and slow your cells from aging!
2. Collagen: Collagen serves as the main protein of your skin and it makes us more than 75% of our skin. Collagen can be taken through capsules or as a powder to reduce any signs of wrinkles! I recommend using my KD Internal Radiance Collagen Powder and splashing it into your morning coffee! This product contains a unique blend of three-patterned collagen peptides to support collagen production, bone strength, joint health, and skin elasticity. This is one of my favorite morning essentials because it keeps me full and energized.
3. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This compound had antioxidant properties! You can find Coenzyme Q10 in supplements and capsules! This serves to protect your cells from deteriorating and it boosts your energy production!
4. Vitamin C: How do you get your dose of Vitamin C? Vitamin C is also a good antioxidant to have in your body! It is capable of many benefits such as preventing your cells from getting oxidative damage and boosting your immune system by providing support to your cellular functions. Although Vitamin C comes in the form of tablets, it comes from other forms of fruits such as citrus fruits, strawberries, potatoes, and bell peppers!
5. Epigallocatechin Gallate EGCG: This is a plant compound that can be found mainly in green teas. Well known in green tea but is present in other foods such as strawberries, cranberries, pecans, and pistachios. It acts as an antioxidant to protect your skin from free radicals, reduce inflammation, and reducing your blood pressure, promote weight loss, and can suppress the risk of cancer.

No Access to Supplements? Try This Regimen!

1. Protect your skin from the sun. Sunscreen is crucial for protecting your skin from sun exposure! Although getting in a daily dose of your Vitamin D is important, your skin mustn’t be put at risk! Stay in the shade, be fully clothed, or cover yourself with a hat or sunglasses. Did you know 90% of your skin aging is due to exposure to the sun? I recommend using my KD Mineral Glow Sun Defense! This 100% physical sunscreen contains 10% Zinc Oxide and 5.5% Titanium Dioxide, which protect against UVA-aging and UVB-burning rays! With a moisturizing base, it also provides a sheer finish that can be worn under makeup, giving you a dewy glow!
2. Eat healthy or a well-balanced meal throughout the day! You can incorporate foods into your meals that promote anti-aging such as adding collagen powder into your morning coffees or adding berries and nuts into your yogurt! Something that I do not recommend at all is not eating enough or starving yourself! That is where the lack of nutrition and the supplemental intake comes from!
3. Exercise and stay active. Spare some time every day or every other day to do a quick workout session. This session can be yoga, stretching, running, or going for a walk. If you’re busy, 10 minutes a day still makes a difference!
4. Take care of your skin using physician-grade skincare products! Discuss with your dermatologist about skin conditions that you are struggling with to figure out the skincare ingredients you need! I recommend using my KD Anti-Aging Bundle that consists of different vitamins and antioxidants to keep your skin moisturized, hydrated, and rejuvenated.
5. Improve your sleep schedule. A healthy sleep schedule should last on average from 7 to 9 hours! Not getting enough rest can cause you to become tired and have dark circles under your eyes!
6. Reduce the amount of alcohol drinking. There is nothing wrong with a little glass of wine or champagne on special occasions! However, it is essential to limit your alcohol intake to reduce the risk of liver disease or cancer.
