our body is water. It’s an essential element to keep the body healthy because it cleans the body and eliminates toxins. It is also an effective vehicle for transporting the vitamins and mineral salts that our cells need.

---

Water is used by the body to remove toxins and waste products. When there is less water in the body, the heart has to work harder to pump the oxygenated blood to all the cells and other major organs, and that can cause fatigue.

---

In most cases, the main reason for headaches and migraines is dehydration.

---

When we drink enough water, the metabolism rate increases, that is, the food we eat breaks down properly. This helps the digestive system to function properly and to prevent constipation.

---

Water helps replenish skin tissues, as well as hydrate it and increase its elasticity. When the body receives enough water, the skin will be hydrated.

---

The thermal properties of water and its ability to release body heat when sweat evaporates from the skin’s surface are of great help in maintaining body temperature throughout the day. A well-regulated body temperature will make us feel more energetic and keep our muscles and joints lubricated, preventing us from having cramps and sprains.

Got snowed in with my wife today. We did a puzzle and cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. It was nice because we couldn't go anywhere even if we needed/wanted to so we had a stress free guilt free day together.
I got some really frustrating computer algorithm to work (flawlessly) at work today. Did a simple task, but the satisfaction of seeing something you slaved over finally start working is very rewarding.
My crush offered to let me vent to her with all the shit I've been through this year. Going back to the office and socializing with my team in person.
Got surgery that I've been needing for around a year. Took months to get to the point where I finally decided to get help. Had to go through the whole X-Ray/CT/MRI thing a few times, visit with my doctor a few times, and get medications to try and help, all to get referred to a neurosurgeon and have to wait 2 months to get my surgery.
Spent quality time with my partner before he flies off for work for 2-3 weeks. Bitter sweet knowing that I won't be seeing him for weeks, but those were the best moments and feeling I had in weeks.
I did a colleague a favor, expecting maybe lunch in return. I had a good time, got a free lunch, and was paid $100.
I’ve been a nurse for eight years. This past year broke me and I thought about leaving nursing for good. I decided to give it one last chance. I started a new job on Monday and I absolutely love it. I am excited to go back next week!
A couple years ago I saved a woman’s life by forcing her to go to the ER after she passed out. She was mad at me because she didn’t think it was anything serious but she went and she ended up in complete heart block and coded in the ER and have to have a pacemaker put in. I saw her yesterday and she remembered me and thanked me for saving her life. It’s a good feeling.
Saw my mum for the first time in two and a half years. I flew from US to see her in UK. It was a complete unexpected surprise for her too.
Keeping continued contact with someone I’m very fond of.
That I became friends with my male best friend. He is so sweet and supportive and I really love him!
I watched my cousins get married on the beach in Florida. They’ve been together 16 years and only recently were allowed to wed.
My dad and I went to lunch. Seems quite lame, but it’s really huge for me.
I started taking vitamins, getting motivation to work out again, and I'm learning to love myself and not be so obsessed with my depression. I read a cool fanfiction and a big update came to my favorite game.

Yeah. We don't get enough sunshine in Ireland to have proper VitD & we don't have great calcium or phosphorus either so our bones are terrible. Vegans get our calcium and the likes from plants which works better w/ the human body so our bones break less. But we're typically low on VitB12, VitD & Omegas, even when we're very strict with our food. It's due to our food affecting our absorbtion. For example, omnivores need less of a certain vit in order to absorb the correct amount but we need more bc we'll absorb less of it. But that's only for very few vits, really we absorb most vits better than omnivores & we tend to have better nutrition levels even without supplements. They're just an extra help.
I'm v sensitive to VitB3 & bc the multivitamin I take contains it, I avoid having things that have it added bc I'll get headaches & feel unwell for a few hours.
I don't need to supplement things everyday but I typically do anyway bc I've an eating disorder & may start to feel shame if it's not in my routine or I could get obsessive with how much of each vit is in my food otherwise. So for me it's definitely better in the long run to take them daily. They also help my hair, nails & skin which is great bc I have neon hair, have a disorder which makes me bite my nails & my skin is negatively affected by my type 1 diabetes.
I take Holland & Barrett's vegan multivitamin supplements that contain A, D, E, C, B1, B2, B3, Pantothenic Acid, B6, B12, Folic Acid, Calcium, Iron & Zinc. They contain a lot of vitamins but not a whole lot of every vitamin included.
I also take a vegan Omega capsule for brain function which is most important as a vegan. If you look up Miley Cyrus on the Joe Rogan podcast she talks about how her brain wasn't the same on vegan food in comparison to a pescatarian diet. But she's v uneducated on the difference between the two & the fact that vegans NEED omega supplements unless they're consuming nothing but chia seeds all day.😂
My omega supplements contain Omega-3s(ALA & SDA), Omega-6s(LA & GLA) & Omega-9(oleic acid).
I'm big into skincare nowadays & use a vitamin skin spray every morning that has vit B5, E & C. My skin is more evenly coloured w/ it, softer, more resilient to the harsh Irish Winter weather & more refreshed even when I'm still super sleepy in the morning.
My skin is clear, my energy is great, my mood is fab & more stable(especially considering I've mental health issues), my hair+nails+skin heal and grow faster, hair+skin are softer, I recover from things faster & rarely get ill, remember things better, less headaches, less zoned out. But vitamins aren't a cure, they're just a lil extra help.
I'd recommend them to most but it varies a lot based on the person, their food, residence, routine, s3x, how often they go outside, if they're pre-natal/post-natal/neither etc.
