As many will know, Omega-3 is essential for your body to function, but unfortunately, most of us are not getting enough Omega-3 in our diet! If you don’t consume enough oily fish, including salmon, mackerel and sardines, nor nuts and seeds (another form of omega 3), you will find yourself at risk for heart disease and other kinds of illness.
When seasons start to change, especially from summer into autumn, it is so important you and your family keep in good health. We need to build up our immunity so we are strong and resilient going into that long, dark winter we all know so well! That’s where collagen comes in, because to be healthy, we have to build a healthy food foundation.

Spring is finally here, but don’t let your guard down even though we have past the flu season in the UK! I like to top up my family with a variety of vitamins through all the seasons, taken on a daily basis. I am so pleased to be properly introduced to the range of Sambucol Black Elderberry by their PR!
Earlier in February, my sisters asked me to buy them 18 boxes of Sambucol Black Elderberry for them to take back to Singapore as it was so much cheaper in the UK. So I bought them through deals and managed to get three boxes for the price of two! My second sister was first introduced to Sambucol Black Elderberry for kids by their doctor to boost my twin nephews’ immune system. She then introduced it to my eldest sister and now the whole family is taking it!
Why is Vitamin D so important to us and how does it help our body? Did you know that your skin needs to get enough direct UV light from sunshine for your body to make around 90% of the Vitamin D it needs? The rest of your Vitamin D intake comes from foods rich in the vitamin. If you don’t have enough Vitamin D, your body is unable to absorb calcium and promote bone growth. Vitamin D also required for the functioning of muscles, immune system and modulates anti-inflammatory response.

The creator of Stur Drink came up with the idea for the liquid water enhancer to help his wife to drink more water more naturally whilst pregnant with their twin girls. They went on and developed a range of good-tasting products without any artificial sweeteners, flavour or colours.
In Stur, they use the most premium sources, which includes water extracted to maintain the quality of the stevia sweetener. Each of their products uses a specific blend to allow the natural fruit flavours to come through first, with a hint of sweetness in the background.
Equazen Eye Q is a health product for eyes that helps you to ensure you get your daily intake of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids play a vital role in almost every part of our bodies, including the brain. This is not our first time using Equazen Eye Q as we used to mix the children’s milk bottle with the Equazen Eye Q liquid when they were toddlers. We find that mixing it into their milk was so much easier than trying to get them to drink it. Since both of them are not drinking via their milk bottles any more, we stopped and forgot about it.
For me, having good eye sight is the most important sense as sight opens your eyes to the world. I used to wear glasses but after having a laser eye operation, I can almost see with perfect sight. It gave me my life back. Waking up, I am able to see clearly straight away and swim so much comfortably.
My 5 year old daughter has mild colour blindness and visual impairment. So naturally, we want to keep her eye sight as healthy as possible and provide her with any opportunities for her sight to get better. So we give her these Equazen Eye Q children’s chew to give her a balanced diet.
Earlier in June, while I was at the BritMums conference, I was introduced to Spatone from Nelsons. I was offered to try out their apple flavoured liquid iron supplement with vitamin C. My first impression is that it has quite a refreshing apple flavour with an aftertaste of iron. I am not a big fan of iron tablets as they always gave me constipation while I was pregnant.
My daily beauty routine is to wash my face in the morning and then apply a lot of face cream before getting my children ready for school. I like to keep it moisturised especially against the elements in this harsh cold weather. Also routinely after my daily shower, I will put on more face cream, have a weekly face mask, daily cleanser before I go to bed.
Every now and then, life throws us a curve ball. It could be something that’s stressing us out at work, or perhaps some money troubles – whatever is, it’s much easier to deal with it if you feel good. And us ladies know that one great way to feel good is to feel like we look fabulous!
Mr K is a very active and healthy boy but even so I regularly by him vitamins and omega 3 to top him up with vitamins to ensure he is getting all his essential nutrients. He understands what vitamins are and is also keen to eat them. There are so many types of vitamins on the market that choosing the right one can be a bit daunting. So far, we have tried a few different forms of vitamins in liquids, chewable tablets, capsules and pastilles. I must say my children’s favourite vitamins are in the form of pastilles as they look and taste like sweets!
Mr K is a healthy child and eats his regular meals. Even so, I regularly bought him vitamins, omega 3 and eye supplements. As a busy family with a lot of after school activities, sometimes they miss eating the right foods and the right amount of fruits. Hence I always top him up with vitamins to ensure he is getting all his essential nutrients.
