The best intentions can easily give way to busy schedules, work demands and family priorities.

But that doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the towel on your New Year’s Resolutions.

Take back control of your goals using the health and nutrition resources available at Island Naturals.

Problem: I have no energy to work out.

After a long day at work, the last thing we have energy for is taking care of our bodies. But working out is a great way to reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and increase energy levels!

Pre-Workout can give you the energy boost you need to crush your goals. Look for formulas which include creatine, caffeine, beta-alanine, BCAAs, and nitric oxide precursors.

Problem: After my workout, I feel incredibly sore.

Your post-workout routine, including stretching, sleep and nutrition, is crucial in aiding muscle recovery and preventing soreness.

A Protein Shake enjoyed within 2 hours after your workout supports your muscle recovery and provides amino acids to repair and rebuild muscles.

Problem: I am struggling to feel well-rested.

From too much screen time to an anxious mind, there are many reasons why you struggle to get restful sleep.

Create a wind-down routine to help prepare yourself for rest and try taking Magnesium 30 minutes before bed to quiet your mind and body.

Problem: I can’t seem to get rid of my post-Christmas bloating.

Digestive issues are one of the primary causes of bloating. Sugary alcohol, carbonated bevvies and gassy food can all be causes of bloating.  

Care for your body by sipping some Licorice and Peppermint Tea to help soothe the digestive tract.

Problem: I never seem to be hydrated enough.

In addition to drinking enough water, you also need Electrolytes to help keep your body hydrated. Electrolytes are essential minerals that help keep the right amounts inside and outside each cell in your body.

Add in some Flavoured Electrolyte Powders to support your hydration and to help you keep reaching back for another sip.

Problem: I want a healthier diet but hate eating my veggies.

While there are no shortcuts to good health, there are tools to help you along the way.

Nutrient-dense Super Greens are a great tool to help you reach your recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, many contain probiotics to support digestive health and immune function.

Add a Super Green Smoothie into your daily routine to give yourself an extra boost of healthy goodness.

Problem: I need to reduce my caffeine, but I love coffee too much.

While coffee (and more specifically caffeine) has become an essential part of many morning rituals, excessive amounts of caffeine can cause stomach aches, difficulty concentrating and sleep disturbances.

To avoid caffeine withdrawals, switch to Mushroom Coffee. Not only is it lower in caffeine than other coffee blends, but it also can help improve your immunity and cholesterol levels.
