A Registered Dietitian Shares Her Top Health Products As a Mom

January 12, 2023 by Melissa Rifkin Nutrition

Being a mom means playing many roles at home. Chef, activity coordinator, and boo-boo fixer are just some of the responsibilities that fall on the plates of many moms (and dads, too!). 

When I think about the health products that come in handy on a weekly, and sometimes daily, basis, several come to mind—not only for my well-being but for my children and husband, too. Eating balanced meals, frequent exercise, and spending time outside are some of the habits I practice daily to support my health. I also incorporate certain products to complement these efforts. 

Supplements play a huge role in my self-care routine. While some I use only on an as-need basis like if I have a cold, others are part of my daily routine. As a mom, my main goal is to keep my kids as healthy and happy as possible. While I may not be able to fight off every runny nose or cough that crosses our path, I am confident the health products I keep in our rotation play an essential role in supporting our bodies. 

So, if you are searching for products that support your and your family’s health, look no further! I have you covered with my top mom-recommended health products. Read on to learn more.
