Weight management is a journey that looks different for everyone. Achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important for your well-being. Ahead, let’s dive into what managing weight means for healthy living and how vitamins and supplements can support you on that journey.

How does your weight impact your lifestyle?

Weight impacts various aspects of your lifestyle, including physical and emotional health. It can impact your mobility and energy levels, as well as your self-esteem and mood. Weight management is one important part to living a healthy, productive lifestyle.

What is weight management?

Weight management is the process of attaining and maintaining a healthy weight, which varies between individuals. The keys to supporting sustained weight management include a healthy, balanced diet to achieve appropriate calorie intake, regular physical activity, optimal sleep and stress management.

For a healthy diet, prioritize whole grains, lean protein and dairy foods, healthy fats, emphasize fruits and vegetables, and try to eat less processed foods. It’s recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, and most healthy adults should get anywhere from 7 to 8.5 hours of sleep per night.

Can vitamins and supplements provide dietary support?

Yes! Vitamins and supplements can provide dietary support. If you’re reducing calories on your own or eating less from using GLP-1 medications, you might not be getting enough of the necessary vitamins and minerals your body needs. Multivitamins are a great way to support your wellness, as they can help bridge nutrient gaps. Make sure you're getting the essential nutrients you need as you work toward your goals.

Does stress play a role in your weight journey?

According to the CDC, stress reduction is one of the factors that is important to achieving optimal health and managing weight as you age. Cortisol is a hormone that is released in your body when you feel stress. When you’re stressed, cortisol levels increase which can impact normal body processes. Stress can also interfere with sleep and healthy eating efforts which can make managing weight more difficult.

Here are some ways to help manage your stress and find balance:

• Start a mindfulness practice.
• Limit your phone and screen time and consider a digital detox.
• Engage in regular physical activity—go on a nature walk!
• Do some self-care. Whether it be taking a relaxing bath or cooking a homemade meal, prioritize me-time.
• Consider adding supplements to your wellness routine for additional stress support.*
