🌾 Take Your Vitamins, Sis
We talk a lot about faith, prayer, and healing but can we talk about something just as spiritual? Taking care of your body.
Yes, that means rest. That means hydration. And yes that means taking your vitamins, sis.
Because the truth is, caring for your body is a form of worship. It’s gratitude in motion. It’s saying, “Thank You, God, for the vessel You’ve given me.”
💛 Why This Matters
As Black women, we carry a lot emotionally, spiritually, and physically. We pour into everyone else, often forgetting to pour back into ourselves.
Studies show that many of us are low in essential vitamins like Vitamin D, Iron, and B12; all of which affect energy, focus, and mood. Those “off” days where you feel drained or foggy? Sometimes it’s not just stress it’s your body saying, “I need some care too.”
One brand that’s been making waves is Black Girl Vitamins — created specifically for our unique health needs. It’s a reminder that God’s provision even extends to the little things — like a vitamin that helps you feel like yourself again. 🌿
🕊 Faith and the Body
Your spiritual health and physical health are deeply connected.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20:
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit… You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.”
Taking care of your health isn’t vanity — it’s stewardship.
It’s saying, “I’m going to care for this temple so I can keep showing up for the purpose God placed in me.”
✨ Reflection
When’s the last time you checked in on your physical health?
How can you show your body more gratitude this week?
What’s one small habit you can start today — drinking water, stretching, or finally ordering those vitamins?
Taking care of yourself is not selfish. It’s faithful. 🌾
