It took him a lot of time and energy to find the perfect lot, but despite the added cost, he knew it was worth it.<\/p>\n

This man happened to have a friend who also wanted to build a new home. However, he was in such a hurry to build something beautiful that he opted for a sandy lot with a great ocean view. While the short build time and great visual appeal offered a reward at first, it just couldn\u2019t stand the test of time. When the first big storm came along, that big, beautiful oceanfront home was quickly washed away.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Your Foundation?<\/h5>\n

This story is the same for building a home as it is with caring for your health. It\u2019s tempting to invest in quick fixes and remedies to mask your symptoms, but unless you take time to support the foundational bedrock of your health, the great results you find at first may not last very long.<\/p>\n

Whatever problems you seek to solve, or benefits you want to achieve, start first with a strong foundation for great health. Your body has an amazing ability to adapt to stress, overcome challenges and regain healthy balance in things like weight, energy and allergies, but it needs your help.<\/p>\n

Where to Begin?<\/h5>\n

Have you ever wondered where to start in the world of supplements? Of course you have!<\/p>\n

In the midst of unlimited options, we want to make it a little easier by explaining our favourite starter combo: Fish Oil, Probiotics and Multivitamins.<\/p>\n

1) Fish Oil for Heart, Brain & Inflammation<\/h4>\n

The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil have a multitude of amazing benefits and are essential to your health because your body can\u2019t make them. Unless you eat foods high in omega-3s or take a daily supplement, your body will have to settle for second best with other, less healthy fats.<\/p>\n

By taking a fish oil every day, you help to keep your heart going strong, your brain super sharp and your irritating inflammation in check. Plus, it even supports a bright, balanced mood!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best one? Try Progressive OmegEssential<\/a>. It\u2019s a family of high potency fish oils that have been rigorously tested for total purity and potency by IFOS, a world leader in fish oil quality It also contains liver and gallbladder support (which you won\u2019t see anywhere else), to make sure your body can use and benefit from every last drop.<\/p>\n

Concerned about taste? Don\u2019t be! OmegEssential comes in an amazingly delicious natural orange flavour<\/a>, and is also available in softgels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2) Probiotics for Immunity, Mood & Healthy Digestion<\/h4>\n

Probiotics are quickly becoming a number one recommended supplement by health experts. Over the last decade, science has proven just how important your gut (think intestines) is to your overall health.<\/p>\n

Unless your belly is filled up with billions of healthy bacteria, the bad stuff can take over and disrupt your health. Thankfully, you can supplement with a high potency probiotic and enjoy the benefits of stronger immunity, a happier mood and healthy digestion.<\/p>\n

Progressive HCP Probiotics<\/a> are a great choice. Unlike other brands, they contain different strains that protect you from your mouth, all the way through your intestines. Plus, they\u2019re human strains, which means they live longer in your body for more long-term results.<\/p>\n

3) Multivitamins to Fill the Gaps<\/h4>\n

Very few people have a perfect diet, complete with the full rainbow of fruits and vegetables. While six or more servings a day is a wonderful goal, the time demands of a busy life can make it hard to reach.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, the nutrient quality of our soil is on a steady decline, which means fewer vitamins and minerals in our foods. A quality multivitamin helps to fill those gaps so you can sleep easy, knowing that your body is getting many of the raw materials it needs to function at its best.<\/p>\n

Looking for a great choice? Progressive MultiVitamins<\/a> are designed to meet the demands of your unique life. The line features 8 different formulas to fit your age, gender and activity level so you can live your way, fully supported with the nutrition you need.<\/p>\n

Go Live Younger!<\/h5>\n

Now you know our secret to a strong foundation with fish oil, probiotics and multivitamins. Try adding them to your daily routine for just 30 days. You won\u2019t believe the difference.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
