Try These Celebrity Favourite Supplements!
So many wellness trends floating around today can be traced back to celebrities. They influence most popular trends, from fashion to fitness, so why not follow their lead when it comes to supplements, too? Most stars stick to a strict schedule with diet and exercise, especially if they are training and preparing for an upcoming role. These are some of the supplements that celebrities swear by, and why you should try them out too!
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston maintains her young, healthy and glowing skin by taking A LOT of vitamins! Her secret is simple, she takes her vitamins three times a day, and they usually consist of Vitamin C and basic omegas. Both of which are more than likely contributing factors to her consistent youthful and glowing appearance. She also notes that regular cardio and a balanced diet are essential to promote and maintain overall health and a simplified skincare routine that she maintains daily.
Victoria Beckham
Posh Spice believes in a simplified approach to wellness, believe it or not! She swears by her routine, which includes bee pollen to help fight off wrinkles and fatigue. Bee pollen contains 22 amino acids, 12 vitamins, and 28 minerals in each spoonful. This is her number one secret to maintain glowing skin and fight fatigue. A simple yet effective way to achieve the Victoria Beckham glow!
Madonna
Madonna has been continually praised for her youthful features and personality throughout the years, but what is her real secret to maintaining it? She loves natural supplements and swears by ginseng and yerba mate tea. Yerba mate is known for its natural boost of energy, and ginseng provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. So next time you are looking for a natural boost, why not try one of these options.
With so many different vitamins and supplements on the market, it can often be overwhelming to choose what is right for you and what will be effective. But, with a little bit of help and guidance from our favourite celebrities’ proven wellness routines, hopefully finding the right supplement can be made just a little bit easier!

Top 5 Health Benefits Of Paddle Boarding, And A Chance To Win Your Own!
Stand-up paddle boarding has become hugely popular over the past few years, and with good reason! It’s relatively easy to do, and has terrific health benefits.
Just imagine yourself paddle boarding through the heart of Ottawa on the Rideau Canal- what a great way to spend a balmy summer evening.
You could win your very own paddle board courtesy of Manitoba Harvest and Kardish Health Food Centre! All you need to do is fill out a ballot at any of Kardish’s nine Ottawa locations by August 1st, 2016 for your chance to win!
Here are some of the great benefits of Paddle Boarding:
- It improves your balance: Standup paddle boarding requires you to stand upright on the board, which requires – and builds - core stability and leg strength to maintain balance.
- It gives you a full body workout: Nearly every muscle in your body is used at some point during paddle boarding. Leg muscles attempt to stabilize your center of gravity, while your arms, back and shoulders are used to propel the paddleboard in the water. The core, back and abdominal muscles work to maintain your balance.
- It’s low impact: Standup paddling is a very low impact exercise. It is particularly useful for runners who are experiencing shin splints or knee and hip pain, yet require exercise during their healing. It is very gentle on your muscles and joints.
- Gives you a cardio workout: If you spend enough time out on the water paddle boarding, you can get a good cardio workout. You can also race your friends while paddling to make it a bit more motivating and challenging, which is a good way to get the heart rate up. Because engaging in paddle boarding is similar to running, aerobics, or even cross-training, you’ll have improved cardiovascular health and less risk for related diseases.
- Connects you with nature and reduces stress: Being on the water is calming, and being in nature is scientifically shown to have a positive effect on your mental health and stress levels. And it never hurts to get some extra vitamin D from the sun!

Start TODAY - Often I hear "I'll start Monday" or "January this year will be different" If I could offer one and only one piece of advice it would be to start NOW! This doesn't need to be a complicated plan.
Add in a walk, make a healthy salad for dinner or up the intensity of your workouts...TODAY.
This would bring me to my second piece of advice. Keep it simple. Try not overcommit to too many new routines or challenges at once. Simplify and focus on one goal at a time.
Break down your big goals into small manageable goals and celebrate them as you reach them along the way. Focusing all of your time and energy on your long term goals may get frustrating. Celebrating small goals you reach along the way will improve confidence and give you the motivation to keep going.
