Are you at risk for iron deficiency? Imagine your body is a high-performance vehicle, and iron is the premium fuel that keeps it running smoothly. Without enough of this essential mineral, you could end up with iron deficiency anemia—the most common form of anemia worldwide, according to the American Society of Hematology. 🔴 Here's the deal: Iron is used to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that acts as an oxygen carrier, delivering life-giving oxygen to every tissue in your body. When your iron levels dip too low, your body can't manufacture enough hemoglobin, leaving your cells hungry for air. The truth is, many people are susceptible to iron deficiency. Like a silent threat, it can creep up slowly, leaving you exhausted, weak, and struggling to keep up with daily activities. 🥱 Imagine running a marathon but your body only has a few drops of fuel left in the tank. 🔗 TAP OUR LINK to see who's at risk for iron deficiency, the symptoms to look out for, and how supplements like Ferritin+ and Flora Iron from @FloraHealthy can help you maintain healthy iron levels. 💪 https://onbetterliving.com/are-you-at-risk-for-iron-deficiency

Hey bird lovers! Looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by the beauty and melody of nature? 🐦🎶 If so, you’ll love the Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel in Columbia, MD! This boutique hotel is a birding paradise, with stunning views of Lake Kittamaqundi and its feathered residents. 🦆🦢 I recently stayed at @merriweather_lakehouse and enjoyed their Birdsong Society room package, which is designed especially for bird enthusiasts. The package is a partnership with @birdsongproject and includes in-room access to “For the Birds: The Birdsong Project”. This 20 LP record collection features music and art dedicated to protecting bird life while celebrating the joy and mysteries of birdsong. For the Birds is produced by Grammy Award-winning music supervisor Randall Poster and includes over 200 artists, including Paul McCartney, Lorde, Beck and more. You can listen to the records on a Crosley record player in your cozy lakeside suite and immerse yourself in the sounds of nature. 🎧🌿 The package also includes @warbyparker "birdoculars" to borrow for your birdwatching adventures, complimentary snacks and water, and a copy of The Maryland Bird Guide. You’ll be amazed by the variety of birds you can see here, from great blue herons to ring-necked ducks, double-crested cormorants and more. You can also explore the nearby trails and parks, or visit the @owlmoonraptorcenter, a wildlife rescue for injured birds of prey. 🦉🌙 After a day of birding, treat yourself to dinner at @lakcolumbia, the hotel’s onsite restaurant. Lak has a chic and cozy atmosphere, and you can taste the emphasis on flavor and freshness in every bite. Our meal was outstanding! Before dinner, grab a drink and an app at the Rookery lobby bar to enjoy lake views by the fireplace. The Merriweather Lakehouse is the perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature, but with all the amenities of a luxury hotel. 💕🏨 TAP OUR LINK for the full details about our stay and how to reserve your Birdsong Society Suite! https://onbetterliving.com/merriweather-lakehouse-hotel-birding/ @visithocomd @merriweatherpp @themayfieldgroup @visitmaryland

Stressed out? Tired? Need a boost? You may want to try ashwagandha, a powerful herb that can help you cope with life’s challenges. Ashwagandha has been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine from India. It can help you: ✨ Reduce stress and cortisol levels 😌 Improve mood and cognitive function 💪 Enhance immune system and fight inflammation ⚖️ Support thyroid and adrenal function 🌼 Balance hormones and improve fertility 🏋️ Increase muscle strength and endurance But when and how should you take ashwagandha? It depends on your goals and preferences. Some people take it in the morning, some in the evening, and some twice a day. The dosage also varies depending on the product. Generally, you can take 300 to 600 mg of ashwagandha per day. If you are looking for a high-quality ashwagandha supplement, we recommend KSM-66 Ashwagandha from @FloraHealthy, which is extracted from organic roots using a traditional Ayurvedic method. It is the most clinically studied ashwagandha on the market, with proven benefits for stress management, energy management, cognitive health, and more . We also LOVE Stressveda from Flora, which combines KSM-66 Ashwagandha with plant-sourced vitamins A, C, D, E, and B-complex. This formula helps increase resistance to stress and helps increase energy in the case of mental and physical fatigue related to stress. It also supports cognitive health, mental focus, and working memory, and provides a good source of vitamin D and antioxidants. Ashwagandha is generally safe, but always consult your doctor before taking any supplement. TAP OUR LINK to see our post 'When is the Best Time to Take Ashwagandha?' and learn more about this powerful adaptogen. https://onbetterliving.com/when-is-the-best-time-to-take-ashwagandha/
