Vitamins for Emergencies

Vitamin's Benefit in High Stress Crisis

Disasters and crisis deplete our bodies of necessary nutrients. Stress can rob us of the building blocks we need to recover quickly and the stores we gain energy from. Vitamin and supplement items added to a bug out kit and emergency food stock makes great sense.

Tablets and powders that contain high nutrients take up very little space. The nutritional supplements help replace needed vitamins and minerals burned by stress. Common vitamins such as Vit C and D reward the body with defence against colds and support the immune system. With the nutritional needs packed into tiny tablets and helpful powders space is conserved and our daily required amounts (RDA) are helped to be met.

Multi-vitamins and other convenient supplements can aid our body's energy stores and carry us through events that could deplete our systems nutrients through stresses and physical effort. Choose wisely and match your family's particular health needs to the right supplement.

Fussy Families & Food Storage


Fussy Families and Food Storage

My family has different needs for their meal choices.

One family member is allergic to peanuts, so there goes peanut butter for that one. Another one can't tolerate soy products. Label reading is a required study when shopping and cooking. Grandpa is a diabetic and the youngest one in our family only wants to eat cereal at every meal.

How do I plan a storage around that? 

Just like you plan your weekly grocery trips. Only for storage you plan it in bulk. How long do you want to have your storage last? Seeking ways to make sure that quality holds up?

Store what your family eats. Know the better your family can eat in times of stress the healthier your survival will be and the easier the crisis will be to get through.

These questions enthusiasts manage to work around in their quest for ideal preparedness for emergency survival.
