Stretch it out
It’s easy to fall into a sedentary lifestyle nowadays. But, regularly stretching and adjusting your posture are easy ways to improve overall health. They help you avoid injuries, stay limber, and have a good range of movement even in old age. If you’re working at home, take a few minutes to stand up from your desk and stretch it out a few times each day; this should relieve tension and stress. Next, check your posture. Keep a straight back while seated and invest in ergonomic equipment — like a new monitor and keyboard. Following these simple ways to improve overall health can help you avoid back pain and fatigue. But if you find your joints and muscles are especially sore, take our Collagen caplets. Collagen makes up most of our joints and tissue, so taking these will help you improve your mobility and flexibility.Get screened regularly

Take a multivitamin
If your diet is well-balanced, you might not think you need additional support. However, millions of adults in the US alone need multivitamins. This is because certain groups are at higher risk of nutrient deficiency.- Older adults — difficulty eating, medications that cause unpleasant taste changes, depression, and other factors that can influence appetite. The elderly also have trouble absorbing certain nutrients from food.
- Pregnant women — need more nutrients to support their baby’s growth. In particular, they tend to lack folate, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and DHA.
- Malabsorption conditions — any digestive condition can affect your nutrition. For example, ulcerative colitis prevents proper absorption of vitamin D and calcium.
- Alcohol consumption — causes deficiencies in vitamin A, C, D, E, K, and B vitamins.
- Medications — Certain drugs can deplete the body’s storage of vitamins and minerals. For example, diuretics for blood pressure can reduce levels of magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Medicine for acid reflux and heartburn can inhibit vitamin B12, calcium, and magnesium.
