GARDENING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

There’s something special about preparing the soil, planting and eating your own vegetables or enjoying your own beautiful flower garden. Being outside in the fresh air working in the yard is also a wonderful way to exercise the body and calm the mind. Follow these simple tips to avoid turning your little piece of heaven into a source of stress. Start with a plan. Gardeners are always planning. A beginner gardener should take time to look at magazines and books showing garden designs and popular plants for the season. Use the books as a guide to ensure you know what you’re getting into. But remember they’re only guidelines. Colors can be mixed and matched in any combination to suit your taste. If you’re too enthusiastic with your garden plan, it can become overwhelming. And if you’re discouraged, it can become nothing but a headache not to mention an eventual mess of weeds. As a gardener, you’ll soon learn the true meaning of the phrase “you reap what you sow.” Consider the space you have to work with and the time you are willing to devote to your garden before you get started. A large garden sounds lovely but it will need daily weeding and require a lot of work. A small yard or patio can accommodate a manageable garden with herbs, flowers and some vegetables. Containers and planter boxes are ideal for small spaces. Start out small and experiment with perennials and shrubs then build up over the next year when you find what works best for you. Plants need sun, water and soil. Know the amount of sun and shade in your garden space and how much your plants will need. You can always move some plants around later if you make a mistake but it’s better to get it right the first time. Get to know what type of soil you have and prepare it before planting to ensure the best results. Fertilizer can be added before planting. Compost is an effective fertilizer and is easy to make from food scraps, leaves and other ingredients. Start composting a few months before you garden as it takes time for the ingredients to break down and be useful. Water your garden early in the morning or in the evening. In midday, the hot sun will evaporate the water faster than it has a chance to absorb into the ground. Gather your tools. You will need a few tools but you don’t have to spend a lot of money to start a small garden. The essential tools are a spade, cultivator, hoe, pruning shears, gloves, watering cans and a garden hose. When the garden is planned, the materials purchased and the ground ready, it’s time to plant and let your gardening adventure begin. The secret to a successful garden is patience. It will take some time but it will be well worth all your efforts.

Mom always said to eat your fruits and veggies, and Mom was right. Fruits and vegetables are some of the best natural sources for critical vitamins and minerals, but too few of us heed Mom’s advice.

In September of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that only 14% of adults and only 9.5% of adolescents eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables every day. That creates a huge nutritional gap. Fortunately, the Vitality Pack with Oligo can help close that gap.

The amounts of critical nutrients in the Vitality Pack go far beyond daily minimum requirements. It contains research recommended amounts from the finest sources to help your body get more of the vitamins and minerals you need for optimal daily health.

Truly Essential Nutrition

You need vitamins and minerals to live, and you have to get them from your diet.

The most common, natural source of vitamins and minerals is fruits and vegetables, but according to a 2009 report from the Centers for Disease Control, only 14% of U.S. adults and less than 10% of U.S. teens are eating the recommended minimum of two daily servings of fruit and at least three daily servings of vegetables.1 Sobering facts like these have prompted doctors to recommend that all adults take a daily multivitamin.2

Amounts Do Matter

Taking vitamins more than once a day ensures a constant source of vital nutrition.

As humans, we are designed to eat several times a day. So it only makes sense that we need to supplement that often. Supplementing the diet with the Vitality Pack twice daily helps provide the ideal amounts of vitamins and minerals throughout the day.

This is especially true for vitamins. The body cannot store most vitamins, so they are only of benefit for a limited time. Taking a vitamin twice daily helps ensure your body is replenished with a constant supply to maintain optimal health.

Putting Long-term Benefits at Risk

You may not feel a difference when you skip, but the consequences are real.

Most vitamins and minerals provide more than one benefit to the body. Some maintain critical functions such as regulating your heart, while others maintain a strong immune system and help the body rejuvenate itself.* Your body has an incredible capacity to prioritize these benefits and allocate them, much like doctors prioritize patients in an emergency room.

In your body, vitamins and minerals are utilized first to maintain your critical life functions, and then–and only if there is enough–it will use them for rejuvenation, repair, and other more long-term benefits.* As a result, you may not feel a lot of difference if you skip a day or two, but over time, the deficiencies can add up. Many illnesses and diseases, such as osteoporosis, have a direct link to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
