Rexall And Tosca Reno – Partners In Wellness

Stronger together is a concept proven to deliver results whether you are a sports team, a business or a family unit.  As Henry Ford famously said, “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress.  Working together is success.”  

That’s just how I feel about my role with Rexall as their newest Wellness Influencer.  I have been looking for a home for my brand for many years.  A place where I can find those looking for wellness and match them with the good nutrients and products they need.  Rexall is that home – my new home and we are stronger together! #strongertogether

Now it’s my turn to meet you.  Come and have a visit with me at the newly renovated Rexall MapleGrove location in Oakville. I will be there on November 17th from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm, ready to give you a hug and chat about your wellness questions.  You will love the store as it is a “wellness destination” rather than just a pharmacy.

As a Rexall Wellness Ambassador I have the privilege of talking about my favourite things; Eating Clean (naturally), nutrition and wellness.  Specifically this month I am on a tear to share the good word about Vitamins C and D.  I call these the “cold” and “down” vitamins because Vitamin C plays a critical and enormous role in boosting our immune system, especially in the winter months where flus and colds are rampant.  Adding 1000 mg/day of C will help you stay clear of illness.

When you pair Vitamin C with Vitamin D, you are really working the “Stronger Together” mantra.  Vitamin D, actually a hormone, is considered by many physicians to be more impactful for the immune system than vaccines, boosting your immune system factor by as much as 3 to 5.  The sunshine vitamin effects every cell in the body and is a potent anti-cancer agent.  Influencing nearly 3000 genes, “the D” helps your body make antimicrobial molecules that fight off infection.  Basically Vitamin D reduces the intensity of all symptoms of disease and the incident of all cause disease.  Just 1000 IU/day will do.

This is how I add Vitamin C and D to my day:
