Pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. On the subject of when is the best time of the day to take supplements or vitamins, he suggested after or during a meal, as the digestive juices allow for a better absorption of the nutrients. The first thing in the morning is also a good time, particularly for water-soluble supplements like B complex and vitamin C, as you're somewhat depleted of nutrients after waking up. Another beneficial time is after you work out, he noted, as you've exhausted the nutrients your body stores for muscle contraction and exercise.

Fuchs said that intermittent fasting can be helpful for the colon and different ailments like type 2 diabetes. "One of the most important things that happens when you don't put food into your body is your body cleans itself out," including dead cells, and waste from the colon, which is a major strategy for improving colon health, he stated. The small intestine, Fuchs continued, is "the seat of health and wellness" but also disease. Harmful bacteria that get into the digestive system can throw off the body's metabolism, he added. Fuchs also talked about the body's connective tissue, which is important to keep strong. One can do this through exercise, a healthy diet, and supplements like bone broth.
