Why bother with a multivitamin?
While devouring a hot dog and cheesy fries with an ice cold drink on the ninth hole is an essential tradition on every round of golf, it can hardly be considered the best promoter of optimal golf performance.
For active and elderly golfers, it is especially important that they supply their bodies with what they need to repair sore muscles, sun damaged skin and promote optimal health.
Since we can’t expect broccoli, carrots, and tofu to be part of the clubhouse fare, it’s good to consider using an easily absorbed multivitamin to supplement our diet.
Multivitamins, especially chewable or liquid organic vitamins, are well known for their high absorption and beneficial absorption by our body. The best multivitamins are not only well absorbed, they should also be easy to take.
If you live in the Midwest like my wife and I, it is often difficult to find enough fresh fruits and vegetables out of season to adequately supply our diets with the minerals and nutrients needed to keep us as healthy as possible. However, all of us who have swallowed a handful of vitamin pills know that this can sometimes be a daunting task in our day. It’s no wonder then that chewable and liquid minerals and vitamins are becoming so popular.
According to Steven Susskind, MD, if our bodies don’t make enough of the hormone adiponectin, there will be a corresponding weight gain. Studies have shown that the more of this hormone we have in our bloodstream, the more fat we burn. In contrast, low levels of this hormone are found in obese people.
One way to increase this hormone is to increase our levels of magnesium, as found in green leafy vegetables and some nuts. Since these are not always available, a good absorbable multivitamin may be essential to supply these items.
Additionally, 6 to 8 hours of sleep per night and a stress management plan (this should include more golf) also play a key role in regulating our hormone production, which regulates our ability to use simple sugars for energy. instead of storing them as fat.
Therefore, due diligence requires a bit of research and testing of various products. Look for a product that offers a 30- to 60-day money-back guarantee, as it gives you time to assess whether it will benefit you personally.
The same can be said for the listed ingredients of any product. Look at the values and check with your doctor to make sure the ingredients and amounts don’t interfere with any of your current conditions and / or medications.
The product my wife and I use has a large number of ingredients, including resveratol, such as that found in grapes and red wine.
While this ingredient is supposed to help with weight management, this may not help at all if other health factors are not addressed first.
For example, regular exercise, like walking around a golf course, is a great addition to a healthy diet. It is also important to adjust our diet in such a way that we optimize our body’s production of hormones.
So if your clubhouse tradition is unavoidable, consider adding a powerful, absorbable multivitamin to your list of traditions and …
Have a great game!
