El Paso is ranked highly on lists of America’s happiest and healthiest cities according to Time Magazine (Rank: 16 of 189). With so many exercise options and proactive and data-oriented authorities who have citizens’ best health interests at heart, it’s clear that this is a healthy city in which to live. But there’s always more to be done.
Supplements, such as additional minerals and vitamins, are widely available in El Paso — and it may well be worth heading to a health food store in order to get what you need. And from ensuring that you get the sort of exercise you need to checking that the substances you consume are safe, there are plenty of other ways to supplement your health. This article will explore the ins and outs of boosting your health safely if you live in El Paso.
Taking supplements
According to some studies, 75% of Americans take dietary supplements on a regular basis in order to boost their immune system, tackle a specific health condition or to ensure they’re not missing out if they have dietary requirements. Supplements are available from major stores with presences in the El Paso area. It’s wise, however, to check that what you’re consuming is healthy: sometimes, dangerous traces in vitamins have been identified and run the risk of increased chances of heart attacks, strokes and more. Going for organic options or thoroughly reading and researching the ingredients, then, is a good idea.
Checking data
Speaking of finding out exactly what you’re consuming, it’s also wise to find out what’s in the water you drink and the food you eat. Luckily, this is relatively easy to do in El Paso. The City of El Paso inspects food outlets and makes the details public, while the quality of the local water is assessed (and the details are published) by the El Paso Water.
Getting exercise
More broadly, a great way to supplement your health is to use the local natural resources available to you by exercising. And with so many different locations in which to exercise both in and near the city, you really are spoiled for choice here in El Paso! Take the Franklin Mountains State Park, which offers everything from biking trails to hiking options. Or try Ponder Park, a less well known city park offering a large amount of green space. It opens from 6 am each day, so it’s ideal for a morning run.
Living and working in El Paso has plenty of benefits. Good health outcomes are certainly one of them — and no matter whether your lifestyle revolves more around restaurant meals or around exercise, there are ways to ensure your health plans are as safe as possible. From the wide availability of healthcare supplements to the ease with which you can check data on food and water quality, there are lots of ways to boost yours and your family’s health here in the city in a safe and responsible way.

Hi, I have been taking PROBASE SPORTS NUTRITION COLLAGEN PEPTIDES POWDER for the last 4 months and I have never taken such a clean collagen powder before. It is non-gmo, grass-fed, hydrolyzed, and absolutely odor- and taste free. I usually don’t write reviews but this product has literally made a difference. My skin is better, my gut seems to also benefit from the intake of collagen and most importantly, zero bloating, which is something I used to get from other brands I have tried. I bought mine on their website PROBASENUTRITION DOT NET but it is also available on WALMART’s website. AAA product! Go to their website, they always have deals. Highly recommend it.
