Vitamins

How many times did your mom say, "Don't forget to take your vitamins!" I have fond memories of searching through the vitamin container looking for the pink Flinstone vitamin and saving the yucky purple ones for my sister. As an adult, I knew I should be taking a multi-vitamin and one purposefully made for women. I don't want to develop osteoporosis when I'm older, so I need lots of calcium, so the experts say. Oh, and don't forget to add Vitamin D to help absorb the calcium. I've been wanting to get pregnant for quite some time now (see my post on infertility), so I need vitamins that will set my body up to be the perfect place for a baby to grow. My multi-vitamin of choice for the last few years has been Women's One-a-Day multi-vitamin.

The review? If you're anything like me, you'll get stomach aches and/or nauseousness from it, especially if you don't eat something heavy. I don't know about you, but I don't want to even know I took a vitamin!

So, I decided if I am going to eat like Fuhrman says, I'm going to see his recommendations for vitamins.  Guess what?  He has vitamins for sale on his website.  I went to his Vitamin Advisor and ordered a 90 day supply of everything he recommended.  He has vitamin advise for men, women, and children.

  

I've been taking these vitamins now for a week.  I haven't felt sick once!  I am so happy with these vitamins that I don't mind paying a little extra.  If that little extra keeps me healthy throughout however many years I'm blessed to have, then it'll be worth every penny.  I take 1 of each gentle and 2 Osteo-Sun a day.

If we are willing to invest money over time for our retirements, in the same way, we should invest whatever we can for our health over time so when we reach the age of retirement, we still feel young, healthy, and full of life.
