Support your Immune System this Winter with Redoxon

Posted on November 30, 2016 by Fiona Martin

Keeping your body healthy and your immune system in good working order is really important over the Winter months to help prevent nasty coughs and colds. My family have been trying out Redoxon over the last few weeks, a range of multi vitamins taken daily to give your immune system the boost it needs over the coldest time of the year.

Redoxon comes in three varieties:

Redoxon Immune Support Everyday
Redoxon Triple Action Effervescent
Redoxon Triple Action Gummies

Both adult variants come as effervescent tablets that simply dissolve in a glass of water to produce an easy to drink orange flavoured vitamin drink. The Immune Support Everyday is a general multivitamin providing day to day support for your immune system. Triple Action gives you a high boost of vitamins C, D and zinc which helps you to feel more energised.

The Triple Action Gummies are suitable from age 4 and are again vitamins C, D and zinc but at a suitable dose for young ones. They come in yellow, orange and red shaped chewy drops, each flavoured with either orange, strawberry or papaya flavours. I have to say that children’s vitamins are always a bit hit and miss for us, but I can safely say they’ve been a hit with my 8yr old daughter and because she enjoys them, takes them regularly each day without any complaints. My 6yr old wouldn’t try them but I’m not worried as he eats such a multitude of fruit each evening!

My husband and I have been drinking the effervescent versions of Redoxon daily and are more than happy with the flavour and ease of use. We are all feeling pretty good at the moment and haven’t encounted any Winter bugs or colds yet so that’s a good sign. And with the cold dark nights drawing in, there’s nothing better than snuggling up in the evening in some woolly socks and a large mug of hot chocolate – here’s to a happy, healthy Christmas!

New Healthy Eating Super Foods

Posted on February 19, 2015 by Fiona Martin

In a bid to lose weight as well as make my day to day diet a lot healthier, I’m always keen to try foods with added benefits, whether it’s added vitamins or a lower calorie version of something, then I’m keen to try as it makes my life easier to ensure I eat a balanced diet as well as not indulging in too much fatty food!

I tried New Jordan’s Lighter Granola. Available in two flavours, I tried the Raspberry and Apple. It also comes in Strawberry and Blueberry. With 30% less fat that normal granola varieties, no added salt and high in fibre, it sounds like the ideal cereal.So what did it taste like? Well it tastes just as crunchy as normal Jordan’s granola and had lots of raspberry and apple pieces. I really enjoyed it with natural yoghurt and being quite calorie conscious at the moment I know this is a healthier choice to have at breakfast time. My daughter Miss M asked to try some and had a bowlful with milk. Her words were “Mmmm, I love granola, it’s delicious!”

I’m not a black tea drinker but have always been fond of green tea, particularly one with added citrus flavours, so was keen to try the new Tetley Super Green Tea with Lime. It has added vitamin B6 to boost your mood, helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue. I absolutely loved drinking these and found them the perfect pick me up in the afternoons. They distracted me from eating and I can genuinely say I did feel more alert afterwards. I have managed to drink the entire box of 20 teabags rather quickly and am keen to purchase more although have to say I’m struggling to find them having checked out three of the major supermarkets. There are other variants in the Super Green Tea range such as Berry Burst and Tropical etc which I have seen available but not the Lime option.

************************************

V8 Vegetable Juice is 100% vegetables, containing tomatoes, celery, carrot, beetroot, parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach. With a 150ml glass containing 1 of your 5 a day and only 26 calories, what a simple way to boost your vegetable intake. The glass of V8 tastes rich, thick, smooth and mainly like a tomato juice. The other vegetables don’t really come through in the taste which I guess is down to personal taste as to whether you would like to taste them or prefer a plain tomato juice with added benefits. All in all, a simple way of sneaking an extra portion of your 5 a day into your diet!
