Today I woke up and hit the snooze button on my alarm. Once I actually dragged myself out of bed I was in serious danger of being late for work. I threw together an outfit and a lunch. Then I grabbed a granola bar as breakfast as I headed out the door. A stop at Starbucks rounded out the 'most important meal of the day' for me. Around 10:30 I started to feel hungry so I had some tuna on crackers and then I went to the gym and did what I do best. I ran! Afterwards, I had a bowl of cottage cheese at my desk. Later in the afternoon I had a banana. Dinner consisted of chinese food since I was late. Thankfully, I take my multivitamin and a few supplements consistently and the last round of blood work I had done showed I was lacking in nothing but iron. (Thanks blood loss!) I am a firm believer in a daily vitamin on top of a generally healthy diet!
If you are anything like me, and I dare you to say that you don't commit these same crimes against nutrition, then you are going to be missing something (or several somethings) from your diet. And when athletes are missing key nutrients or vitamins bad things happen, like my fellow runner's stress fracture. Sure fresh is best and nature beats man-made and all that but, unless you are extremely disciplined and monitor everything you put in your mouth, a supplement is your safeguard!
That's why I'm pleased to be able to introduce Centrum's line of ProNutrients. ProNutrients is a line of dietary supplements formulated to work with your multivitamin. Centrum also introduced a new line of multivitamins to meet specific needs. You can choose from Prenatal, Vision, Energy, or Heart blends.
The ProNutrients line includes Omega-3, Probiotic, and Fruit & Veggie. Omega-3 provides vital EPA and DHA in a smaller-than-average and easy to swallow pill. Fruit & Veggie blends grapes, blueberries, raspberries, plums, carrots, and tomatoes to support cell protection with antioxidents. The Probiotic blend contains healthy, active bacteria to support digestion and immune health. With the right knowledge and support anything, especially nutrition, is possible!
To get started with the Centrum line print off the $5 coupon at ProNutrient's FaceBook page. Or you can just post a comment telling me your thoughts on your nutrition and what you're missing for a chance to win the ProNutrient product of your choice. I'll pick a winner on January 14. Complete giveaway rules can be found here.

Following! I love the fruit and veggie blend... I think my husband would be a good candidate to give that one a try (and me too - who couldn't use a little extra?) :)

ReplyDeleteFollowing when I look for you on twitter it says user does not exist :( I will keep trying. I would love to try all of these vitimins. I'm new to running so I have been looking for supplements but if I had to choose one I would choose the fruit and veggie one. I feel like I never get enough veggies but I get tons of fruit :)
ReplyDeleteok now I'm following your twitter page @runbanshee I looked in the contact me section

ReplyDeleteI'm definitely missing fruit in my diet. For some reason, most fruits and I don't get along. Working on it, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm following Centrum on Facebook (same name)
ReplyDeleteFollowing you on your new Twitter! @SerialAccessMom
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a lot of "following" on this page. Anyway, when I had a broken fibia a few years back, my doctor was surprised to note that I was able to recover in less than 6 months that is all thanks to a solid banana diet. I mean solid because it's not a fruit alternative, pure potassium helps to heal those cracked bones fast.
