Should Toddler Take Multi-Vitamin?

Should Toddler Take Multi-Vitamin?My daughter enjoys eating when it comes to food she would eat a large amount but she can be a picky eater. There was a time where she treats vegetable as an enemy. I had to encourage Char to take just one bite or bribe her with a treat. It was tough. She didn’t want to drink water as well. After getting her involved with soccer, she was better with drinking water. If my daughter is a picky eater, was she getting enough nutrient? Should toddler take multi-vitamin?

Low Energy Caused by Iron

iron supplementWhat a long day. I usually start my day from 6am and it does not end until 9pm or 10pm. I finally get to sit down after a long day. I feel exhausted. My children are in bed. I have little time for myself. There are days where I wonder why I am feeling this burnt out. What have I done all day? In the middle of the day, I do have a cup of tea. I something to keep me awake or to give me some energy to last until the rest of the day. The other thing I try do is to increase the amount of time I spend on exercising. I workout in the morning doing some cardio. At the end of the night, I would do some yoga to help me to de-stress after dealing with my kids. I was hoping the exercise would help my energy level.

The other thing I find dealing with my kids is that I am no longer a patient person. I thought I was a very patient person but after having kids I don’t think I have as much patience as before or maybe my kids are just really good at testing my patience. Lately, I have been feeling a little more drained than usual. I feel like I need something more for body or mental health. I was at the library looking at health magazines I came upon an Advertisement on iron deficiency. Low energy can be caused by low iron. It was stating that it is quite common women don’t have enough iron. The low iron could cause fatigue and it is quite common in women.  The product adverted is a liquid product called Floradix a herbal remedy. This piked my interest because I tend to lean more towards natural or herbal remedies. I went to a nutrition store to pick up Floradix in liquid iron; I didn’t mind the taste. It reminds me of something similar to plum juice.  I need to take this in the morning and evening before my meal. I felt a lot better after a day. Floradix had various B vitamins which help with stress. I find that this product does help with my health, my energy level, and my well-being. It is a great product.
