Most people associate homesteading with healthy living.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t without cause, most homesteaders have a higher level of physical activity than those living a typical modern sedentary life, fresh and air and sun, and a more direct relationship to their food.\u00a0 But homesteaders, especially off-grid homesteaders, will be functioning off of limited resources, and this will sometimes include their access to nutrient-rich foods.\u00a0 When your homestead is not able to supply your nutritional needs your body is going to suffer, if your body suffers, your output suffers, and if your output suffers it will inevitably follow that your homestead will suffer.\u00a0 This is a list of a few supplements to consider for your nutritional needs to keep you healthy and your output high, so you can keep your homestead growing.<\/p>\n

Daily Multivitamin<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be a homestead if it didn\u2019t have a garden, but your garden might not be supplying all your nutritional needs.\u00a0 Even a well-established garden with a well-rounded crop selection will still slow it\u2019s production in the winter.\u00a0 And even those who preserve a lot of their garden\u2019s produce will still not be eating the same amount of vegetables in the winter that they did in the summer.\u00a0 A simple daily multivitamin can fill in the gaps for you, and when stored properly will last.<\/p>\n

Green Powder<\/strong><\/p>\n

For all the reasons discussed above, you might not be able to get your body\u2019s required level of fresh greens.\u00a0 And while daily multivitamins can supply you with vitamins and minerals, there is more to food than its sum of FDA daily recommended nutrients.\u00a0 Powdered greens can last you throughout the year, because your body doesn\u2019t need less greens during the winter.<\/p>\n

Protein Powder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Protein powders are not just for weight lifters; everyone needs protein in their diet.\u00a0 If you are not getting enough protein your muscles will waste, you will lack energy you need to work, and you will have an increased risk for infection.\u00a0 For times when your protein needs are not being met by your homesteads food supply, a protein powder is a quick solution that lasts without refrigeration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your homestead will only be as productive as the work you put into it.\u00a0 Likewise, the amount of and quality of work you are able to put into your homestead will only be as much your body can handle.\u00a0 Keep your body functioning at its optimal level so that you can get the most out of your homestead and the most out of life.<\/p>\n
