Editor's Note 2021 SupplementRelief.com Health & Wellness Scholarship essay winner.
Living healthy can be simpler than we think. Eat your veggies, take your vitamins, exercise, and take care of yourself mentally. Living a healthy lifestyle doesn't mean you have to have the best body, eat salads all the time, and kill yourself at the gym every day.
The media and the norms of society view a healthy lifestyle as rare and having people believe that only specific people can achieve it. Although pushing to be healthy is constantly in the media, it's up to the individual to improve their way of living. Living a healthy lifestyle is having a balance between your health and mental health. Someone who wants to change their current lifestyle to a healthier way of living has no idea how it may seem like such a hurdle. We all say we will get on "diets" and start that and later on fail within a week. And that is when many people quit because it may seem like an unachievable thing. The thing is that living a healthier lifestyle goes beyond your eating habits. It does play a significant role in your health, but many fail to understand that a balanced diet, balanced exercise routine, and focusing on your mental health matter can play a massive role in the way you live.
Nutrition plays a significant role in how you feel physically and mentally. Often lack of nutrients can lead to lack of energy and have common ties with many mental health diseases. Instead of depriving yourself of "unhealthy" food, you need to have a balanced diet as it is more attainable to living well. Balance means getting in the appropriate nutrients by eating enough and fueling your body with veggies, fruits, carbs, etc. You can eat healthily but also occasionally enjoying the so-called labeled "bad foods." Bashing yourself overeating a slice of pizza will not make you happy in the long run. Eat your foods and know what is appropriate to reach your goals because you have that control. Do not forget that there is no such thing as "bad foods" and instead limit yourself to a reasonable balance. Although Individuals have different health goals, some want to lose weight, gain weight, or gain muscle. Your diet will be different from others, and that's okay. Find a diet that works for you because everybody is different. So, it doesn't matter your goal or what you are trying to achieve; consider adding vitamins and supplements to your diet. Supplements are often overlooked but are extremely important. It can be very challenging even to meet those nutrient goals. Taking your essential vitamins can help support your well-being when you are not getting enough nutrition from the foods you are eating. Remember that balance is necessary, and it can be more beneficial than completing cutting those foods off.
Exercise is essential. You need to be moving your body to achieve a healthier lifestyle, and it can be intimidating to go to the gym for the first time or go for a run. If you aren't physically active, starting will be hard. Still, once your body gets that daily exercise, it will be rewarding, and if you are consistent, that will change everything. Consistency is essential when exercising; that consistency will become a habit. Soon exercising will be a part of your lifestyle without you realizing it. For many people, exercising can be a form of therapy. When you exercise, you are pushing yourself, releasing stress, moving your body, and getting that physical activity your body needs-again, your body needs to be moving. You can go for a walk, exercise for 30 minutes, or even 10 minutes! As long as you're moving daily, that gets you closer to improving your health. Having a balanced exercise routine that keeps you consistent is best. Balance is taking rest days when it's needed-sleeping well, getting those total eight hours of sleep to recover. While you sleep, your body is working, and your body needs sleep to perform its best and feel well. Your mood can change with simply getting enough sleep, better mood, more positivity, better performance.
Take care of your body but remember that taking care of your mental health matters. Without a healthy mind, you will decrease the chances of eating healthy and getting up to exercise. Your mind controls you every day. What you do without feeling good about yourself, filled with negative thoughts, is hurting you. Self-care matters; do something for yourself that makes you happy and break from things in your life that are causing stress or anxiety. Feeding yourself negative thoughts and excuses will damage you. Remember that a healthy mind comes first, and a healthy body comes next. Constantly thinking negativity and telling yourself you cannot do these simple things can cause It to become true. While if you're optimistic about your health journey, you will be most likely to achieve anything.
Being an adult is challenging; you have to juggle not only trying to do what is best for your health but also going to work, taking care of your children, and its hard and overwhelming. People come home tired from work, with no energy to exercise. It can be even easier to pick up some fast food on the way instead of cooking a meal. Then it turns into a habit. Having a set routine will help your health goals. Having. Set the time to take your vitamins and supplements in the morning, preparing your food at night, meal prepping to save you time, and having time to exercise. Without a set schedule, you will feel overwhelmed with everything going on in your life that will burn you out because you are not incorporating healthy habits; as soon as you fall into the hole, it will be harder for you to get out. That is why people don't even try to improve themselves. The key is to keep going but remember that Balance is critical. Balance will make your healthy lifestyle enjoyable and attainable.

A safe and accurate address for delivery must be provided at the time the order is placed. Once an order has shipped, SupplementRelief.com is NOT responsible for lost or stolen packages CONFIRMED BY THE CARRIER to be delivered to the address provided for the order.
Since COVID-19, and the ensuing economic challenges in the USA economy, we respectfully ask that you allow some additional time for delivery for the carriers (USPS, UPS, and FedEx). Most orders still arrive on time, or near on time, but some may run late. We make every effort to get your order packed and into the carriers hands the same day, or by the next business morning if your order came in later in the previous day after carrier pickup, but we have no control over any delays that may happen within the shipping carrier's delivery system. Please order earlier for the time being if you are time-sensitive.
Orders that contain only FirstFitness Nutrition products have a shipping fee automatically calculated based upon the actual shipping weight of the items purchased. The charge ranges from $4.95 to $14.95.
For orders with NuMedica products you may choose from the shipping options below on the Order Checkout form in the Shipping Information section on the first line that says Choose Shipping Method.
Country | Option | Schedule | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
United States | Standard | 3-6 Days | $4.95 |
United States | Priority | 2-4 Days | $9.95 |
United States | Free | 7-10 Days | $0.00 |
International | FedEx International | 4-7 Days | $79.95* |

Shipping anything these days internationally is expensive. COVID resulted in more rigorous customs import processes, and now with much higher energy prices, international shipping rates are higher.
FedEx is the most reliable and faster carrier, at least for now, but they are expensive. Our FedEx international shipping fee is a minimum of $79.95. It usually makes more sense to get several months of supply (3 months or more) in one order to minimize the shipping expense per order over time. While the added weight of additional items may increase the base shipping price by a little (usually 10-25% depending upon total weight and destination), it is usually not by very much relative to shipping an additional small order later.
We also offer a lower-cost international shipping option using GlobalPost International for $39.95. So far, they have been reliable in getting packages correctly delivered but it takes 2 - 4 times as long to get the package delivered. Packages may take longer to process in the receiving country's customs process and status updates may not be reported as quickly. Please be patient if you choose this option to save money.
Some International orders may cost more to ship depending upon weight and location. If that happens we will contact you first and get your approval for any additional charge before proceeding. International orders may also be subject to additional customs fees and duties/taxes based upon the destination country's customs import laws and policies. These fees are NOT known or included on our order form and are typically charged and collected by the shipping carrier when they are delivering the product to it's final destination once the package has cleared the destination country's customs process. It is recommended that the buyer research custom import fees for the products/services they are importing beforehand to be aware of potential, additional fees.
Our manufacturers formulate their probiotics to ensure their products retain viability until they reach the consumer. Probiotics that are recommended to be refrigerated remain so until the time of shipment, then shipped alongside an ice pack to ensure potency (Note: Ice pack will not arrive frozen, and product may not arrive cold). Orders placed on a Thursday-Sunday requiring cold shipping will not ship until the following Monday.
If your order has not been shipped yet, you can request a cancellation. Your original purchase amount will be refunded within three business days. If your order has already shipped, see Returns and Refunds.
If you want to make a change to your order, please email us as soon as possible so we can make the change before your order ships. If your order has already shipped you may incur additional shipping charges for the second shipment and the return label for any products returned.
If we have made a mistake on your order, or the product arrives in a damaged or unusable condition, we will make every reasonable effort to right the situation quickly to your satisfaction.
We accept returns subject to when the return is requested and the condition the product is returned in. All returns must first be authorized by contacting us. In your request, please let us know why you are returning the item(s). We will respond promptly with authorization, the return address, and a return shipping label if appropriate.
If your order has already shipped you can return any un-opened products within 30 days of receiving your order for a 100% refund of the price paid for the product, less the actual shipping charges we incurred to get the product to you originally and then returned, less a $10 restocking fee. Un-opened means the protective seal on the bottle or container, or the shrink-wrap on the box or kit, has not been broken and the product has not otherwise been damaged in any way. You may use the original packaging for the return or acquire your own. We will provide the return shipping label. We DO NOT accept returns for NuMedica products once the protective product seal has been broken.
Upon receipt of returned product(s), we will refund your credit card within three business days for the product(s) returned.
