Lifestyle, food and drink, and our family life and travel adventures.
I take a lot of vitamins, and I have for a very long time. I eat a pretty healthy and balanced diet, but nowadays there is a lot that we just aren’t getting from our food or lifestyles.
The majority of us are deficient in magnesium for example, which can massively affect our health in so many ways, and in this country we often don’t get enough Vitamin D from the sun, particularly in the winter months. I’m always trying to find the perfect mix of vitamins, that top up any deficiencies, whilst improving my health and wellbeing.
It can be hard to know which to take, what to take them with, and whether we even need them, and all that without taking twenty different vitamins every day. Plus what we need most throughout the year can change with the seasons and weather, but working out what we need and when can be a minefield.
This is where Hello Day come in. They specialise in wellbeing boxes for both men and women, that are tailored for the different seasons, so you get what you need when you need it. I was sent the Winter Wellbeing Box, that contains four natural supplements developed by doctors and pharmacists to ensure the supplements work synergistically.
In January we are often feeling pretty low after the Christmas buzz is over, and the days are short, dark and cold, and we’re often run down too, after such a busy month. I was sent the Hello Winter box from Hello Day, which comes in a beautiful box, and contained all I needed for the winter season.
Four different boxes of vitamins come in the box:
I have now finished my month’s supply off all of these vitamins and I have been really happy with them. It’s always hard to say whether anything like this has had a tangible effect. However after a week or so of taking them I really feel like my skin looked a lot better and brighter, and since then has remained completely clear. I really feel like they have made a difference in that respect.
I also feel like my moods have just been more stable, and I’ve felt a bit happier and more balanced. I haven’t changed anything else over the last month or so, and I have still been quite stressed a lot of the time, so I really think taking these supplements have made a difference to my overall wellbeing.
We obviously don’t always know what is happening on the inside of our bodies, but I really like knowing that I am doing something extra to help myself from the inside out. These supplements are all developed by doctors and pharmacists. Hello Day use natural vitamins and plant extracts wherever they can, and their products are chemical-free. I have read so much in the past about some supplements doing more harm than good, as they are filled with rubbish, so taking really good quality supplements like these is really important to me.
All three of the vitamins that came in tablet form (Beauty Boost, Vitality Boost, BioHarmony Balance) were all really easy to take, and come in pop-out packets, and I found it easy to remember to take them every day, and they were easy to travel with. I did have a bit of an issue with the Immunity Support sachets though – I just couldn’t get the powder to completely dissolve in the water, which was a bit annoying. It meant that some days I just didn’t bother with it, as I needed it to be quick to have it as part of my daily routine. As such, I probably didn’t get the full benefit of this box, which is a shame, although I haven’t had a cold for over a month which is unusual for me!
The Hello Day boxes are expensive at £89.00, but looking after your health is so important and having everything you need right there makes it so convenient if you have a busy lifestyle and want to make some simple changes. You can also buy individual boxes of the different supplements that they do, so you can always tailor them to your requirements. Good quality supplements do cost money but can make the world of difference to our health and how we feel. I think the Hello Day boxes are great to get all you need each season, as we are all affected by different things as the weather changes and it is hard to always know what we should be taking.
You can get your next Hello Day box directly from Hello-day.com – the Hello Winter box is out now.
