Who Is She?

Miranda Kerr is an Australian model who gained fame in 2007 when she was cast as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. She had previously modeled for Maybelline, which made her name far more common than other small modeling gigs. Signing with Victoria’s Secret made Kerr the first Australian Angel and she quickly rose to fame. Since becoming a model, Kerr has created and launched an entirely organic skincare product line called KORA Organics. She also wrote a self help book which did quite well.

Miranda Kerr is one busy lady but she is always on her A game. Her immune system in impeccable, she stays energized for her intense workouts and crazy schedule, and her body is well . . . kind of insane! The super model claims to have never taken one sick day in her whole career! She prides that on her specific daily vitamin selection. Vitamins can fill any dietary gaps and help give us the extra boost we need – which is just what Miranda needs to complete her lifestyle!

The Supplements:

Coenzyme Q10:

Coenzyme Q10 is a substance similar to a vitamin that is found in every cell of the body. Our bodies make coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, and our cells use it to produce the energy our cells need in order to grow and maintain cells. CoQ10 is also an antioxidant that protects our bodies from dangerous molecules. Enzymes work to digest food and help our bodies perform processes, such as protecting the heart and skeletal muscles.

Coenzyme Q10 can be found naturally in a long list of foods, but only in small amounts. It can be found in higher amounts in organ meats such as heart, liver, and kidney. It can also be found in beef, soy oil, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts.

Miranda Kerr takes her Coenzyme Q10 supplement every morning and reaps all of the benefits from it daily. Her body and immune system are in perfect condition due to the benefits of this natural antioxidant.

In order to feel the best possible results, it is important to know when to take coenzyme Q10. Doctors recommend taking the supplement in divided doses with your meals. This helps it become more easily absorbed. The recommended dosage for this supplement is at least 100 milligrams. Doctors recommend boosting the dosage to 200 milligrams if you have any form of heart disease or are taking statin medications.

Coenzyme Q10 health benefits include…

• Helping maintain a healthy heart
• Helping with cancer treatment and symptoms
• Helping muscular dystrophy
• Fighting periodontal disease
• Boosting energy
• Speeding up recovery process after exercising
• Reducing the effects that certain medications have on heart, muscles, etc.

While there are a lot of benefits for CoQ10, perhaps the most riveting and incredible is its effect on cancer. A study done in 1961 showed scientists how little coenzyme Q10 cancer victims had in their blood. Research has shown this substance to help the immune system in cancer patients and be a possible secondary form of treatment for victims.

Omega-3 Fish Oil:

Miranda Kerr takes Omega-3 Fish Oil as one of her essential fatty acids. She swears by it and it’s pretty easy to see why once you learn about the benefits!

Fish oil can be consumed in two ways. One is to eat fish; the other is to take pills. Fish that are especially rich in beneficial oils, known as omega-3 fatty acids, are mackerel, herring, tuna, salmon, cod liver, whale blubber, and seal blubber. Fish oil was created in pill form to fill the gaps in people’s diet; you either don’t eat fish or don’t eat enough of it. It’s simple, gets the job done in one pill, and has some serious perks. When taking fish oil, you are aiming to intake as much omega-3 fatty acids as possible. Two of the most important fatty acids in fish oil are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Fish oil is FDA approved to lower triglyceride levels and is used for a long list of health conditions.

It’s important to note that more in not always better when you’re learning when to take fish oil. You want to stay in a balanced ratio with omega-6 fatty acids. The recommended and scientifically studied dose for fish oil is a 1,000 mg dose each day. Experts recommend taking fish oil throughout the entire day and with meals. Most experts recommend a dose with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Omega-6:

Omega-6 is an essential fatty acid that is key for optimal health. However, the body cannot produce omega-6 on its own. We can reap the benefits from this essential fatty acid through either food or supplements. Omega-6 is crucial for brain function and strength and aids in healthy growth and development. The benefits don’t stop there though – so we’re definitely supporting Miranda on this one.

The recommended dosage of omega-6 for adult men is 17 grams per day. Women require 12 grams per day. Just like omega-3 fatty acids, experts recommend taking omega-6 throughout the day. Try taking your supplements with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Omega-6 health benefits include…

• Promoting brain health and function

Probiotics:

Miranda Kerr takes probiotics every morning! Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are actually good for our health! Probiotics are commonly referred to as “good” bacteria. It’s an interesting concept and it works! Probiotics are a bacteria that we actually encourage in our bodies! Our bodies are full of bacteria; some are good, some are bad. Probiotics are essential. They help keep our gut healthy!

Probiotics work in a few different ways. One way they keep us healthy is by replacing good bacteria when our bodies are in need. For example, after taking antibiotics, our bodies lose “good” bacteria. They also work by keeping a proper balance between our “good” and “bad” bacteria. Probiotics are perfect for travelers because they keep your digestive health in check. All sicknesses and diseases start in the gut, so it’s very important to take care of your gut. Do you think Miranda has time to be sick? No way! Also, when your body is constantly being exposed to new food choices, it’s easy for stomach problems to start to creep in. Probiotics keep everything moving at the right pace so your metabolism doesn’t have to change just because your schedule and diet do!

Probiotic health benefits include…

• Aiding in digestion
• Boosting immune system levels
• Consuming bad bacteria
• Creating key nutrients
• Restricting growth of yeast and unhealthy bacteria
• Limiting bouts of lactose intolerance, poor digestion, and diarrhea
