Take a multivitamin that contains B vitamins – November 30, 2009

Take a multivitamin that contains B vitamins. The B vitamins folic acid, B6 and B12 are related to cognitive function.

Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble, requiring the presence of some fat (think good fats, such as the omega-3’s found in flax seed) in the gastrointestinal tract for optimal absorption.

(Boil water to make black tea, but stop just short of boiling to brew the green and white varieties.)

In studies, participants who drank one to four cups of tea per day, every day, showed the most profound benefits. The advantages of tea, for those who opt to incorporate it into their daily lives, are more than physical. Incorporate a cup of tea into your daily routine and experience the soothing comfort it can offer!
