Vitamins

The right multivitamin is the key to health and energy during college. I take Alive! multivitamin after every meal and there is a noticeable difference in my energy level when i take it verses not. Lately I have been slacking on my vitamins and I feel more worn down and (as odd as it sounds), less able to fight sickness.
Multivitamins give you an extra boost of the vitamins you might not be getting now that you are not being fed a regular, balanced meal by your parents. In college, salads and other raw veggies are substituted for French fries, milk is substituted for soda, and fruit by Sour Patch Kids.
I cannot stress enough the importance of a multivitamin. At least once a day. I take my vitamin after every meal because I need to take it that often for the vitamin to have a noticeable effect on me. But people who haven't taken vitamins their whole life, like I have, can see a difference with one pill a day.
Go to your local health food store (Whole Foods is a great place to get a large selection of vitamins) and ask the person working in the vitamin section which multivitamin they would recommend. (Vitamin B gives a GREAT energy boost so look for one with vitamin B)

Until next time,
