BEST SUPPLEMENTS FOR THE SUMMER AND WHAT TO AVOID

Here are my top picks for summer supplements;

Collagen

The hot summer weather exposes our skin to numerous conditions. Taking collagen supplements can help repair and maintain a healthy skin tone. Increased collagen intake and production over the summer can strengthen the joints, repair dead cells, prevent skin damage, and avoid other potential risks linked to low collagen proteins in the body.

Vitamin E

One of the essential supplements for a great summer experience. Vitamin E supplements contain antioxidants that can prevent skin inflammation, protect against sunburn, improve hormonal balance, and lower fatigue, anxiety, and allergies. 

Fish oil

It’s packed with healthy omega-3 fats and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can keep you healthy all summer long. Fish oil aids in lowering or preventing whole-body inflammation, keeping disease at bay as inflammation is one of the major causes of illnesses. Lower skin, blood vessel, joint, and brain inflammation with the healthy fish oil supplements.

I also suggest other supplements like; probiotics, bee pollen, vitamin C, astaxanthin, and biotin.

What to avoid

I strongly advise you to keep off aconite supplements. They have more potential side effects such as nausea, fatigue, breathing difficulties, or heart problems than the expected benefits of lowering inflammation and joint ache.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
