Mrs E is a wonderful example of someone who is really in tune with her body and understands what works best for her. Over time she has found the combination of daily supplements that suits her needs and supports her wellbeing.

Food supplements such as vitamins, minerals and other nutritional products, are taken by many people to help support their health and wellbeing. Some people use them to top up nutrients that may be missing from their diet while others take them following advice from a healthcare professional. While supplements aren't a substitute for a balanced diet they can form part of a healthy lifestyle when used appropriately.

Like many people she found opening multiple supplement packets every day a little time-consuming and inconvenient.

Thankfully she'd already found a brilliant solution.

Mrs E uses small, reusable portion containers with secure lids to organise her daily supplements in advance. Each container holds the right amount for the day making them ideal for home or when travelling. It's such a simple idea but it takes the hassle out of opening several packets every day.

Interestingly these containers are actually sold as baby milk powder dispensers. Designed to hold individual portions of formula they happen to be the perfect size for storing a day's worth of supplements. Ideal for both home and travel.

During one of my visits I was able to help Mrs E replenish her supplement containers preparing them for the days ahead. It was a small task but one that made her daily routine just that little bit easier.

We all have our own ways of doing things and I genuinely enjoy learning how other people approach everyday life. It allows me to adapt the way I work to fit naturally into their daily life.

Note: Food supplements should always be taken in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions or the advice of a healthcare professional. POPIN Home Support does not provide medical advice but we are happy to support clients with organising their daily routines.
