Interview with Tuija Hyyrynen - football player in Juventus

Tuija Hyyrynen, lives her life in Turin (Italy), where she plays football for Juventus. The iconic club was founded in 1897, but only started its women's activities in 2017 and has since played in Serie A. The team is now aiming for its fourth straight championship title and victory in the Italian Cup. Tuija talks below about the dietary supplements from Aarja Health that she takes daily.

Tuija started playing as a 10-year-old girl. Her interest in the sport developed when her sister started playing football and the passion has followed her ever since. Now she is doing her fifth season in beautiful Italy. Before that, she has played and lived in the USA, Sweden and Denmark.

Tuija has always been interested in health and well-being and studied for her master's degree in sports science while playing in Umeå, Sweden. To stay in shape as a soccer player at elite level, a very demanding training schedule together with the team is required.

"I have football training every day, which includes going to the gym and running, together with a football match or two every week. I also do mycket rörlighetsträning and recovery training with cycling and using a foam roller", she explains.

Tuija, who is also a key player in the Finnish national team, explains further:

"For me, it's about finding the balance between pushing myself to the limit and making sure that my body and mind recover between training sessions. In football circles, there is an opinion that basic, healthy and varied home-cooked food is enough to maintain performance and that no other supplements than vitamin D are needed. In my case, however, I am very happy that superfood supplements and vitamins found me."

Tuija says that she discovered Aarja Health's product line over a year ago and that she really feels the positive effects it has in her everyday life.

"To be honest, I really struggled when I moved to Italy, because of the extremely hot weather and the very demanding schedule. I got cramps. I got dehydrated. I needed to find a way to perform better and recover faster. To give my body all the nutrients it needs."

Tuija says that she usually starts her morning with OptiMSM +C with blueberries , as a drink. She simply adds a bag of the supplement to a glass of cold or heated water and then stirs it. Then she ends the day with Magnesium3+B6+Zinc , which counteracts muscle cramps and helps sleep. "During training I love to use Sporty Boost . It just gives me energy and keeps me hydrated.

Daily, Tuija says that she also takes Curcumin with Ginger & B12 to prevent inflammation, as well as Collagen with pine bark for joint health and Vitamin C 500 with Zinc & Chaga to support the immune system.

Tuija advises all individuals, young and old, to listen to their bodies:

"Ask yourself questions like 'How do I feel?' and 'What do I need?'. Maybe you are tired or need more healthy food, fresh air or meditation. Find out what is right for you and then act. These small daily choices add up in the long run and make all the difference. For me, being an athlete is a lifestyle, where you make healthy choices around the clock to perform at your peak."
