I would like to have a somewhat serious discussion today.
As I was getting ready think morning; sipping my coffee and eating my bagel; I reached over and grabbed my morning vitamins. As I did, I thought, WOW!
It never really kicked in until this morning how many pills I take each day. And most are voluntary!! LOL!
I had ten in my hand!!! WHAT!?!? I pride myself on being somewhat healthy and taking care of myself but how did I ever get to ten pills every morning. I also add a powder supplement to my coffee everyday!
I am going to share them with you and I would love to get your feedback. I have heard so many different things like...
"You get all the nutrition you need from food" or
"You don't need to take extra anything"
and on the other hand you hear...
"This pill is so good for this" or
"This pill will prevent this"...
I guess I am just at a point where I am now wondering if I am the only person that goes out and buys whatever they say will prevent or help this or that until I now end up taking ten pills a day (nine different things)!
Here is what I take daily in the morning...
One:
Bayer Low Dose Aspirin (okay so this is a given...I work there and it prevents a heart attack, right?)
Two:
Citrical(2 pills) (another Bayer product...I have arthritis and I am over 50 so I need extra calcium, right?)
Three:
Tumeric Curcumin Complex (my knees hurt daily from the arthritis and bone on bone and I heard this can help alleviate the pain)
Four:
Krill Oil (this is my omega 3...again healthy heart!!)
Five:
One a Day (another Bayer product...the daily over 50 for women)
Six:
B12 (I was tested and my B12 was very low; I think this is common for psoriatic arthritis...I just feel tired all day!)
Seven:
Biotin (my nails or very brittle and this is supposed to help hair and nails)
Eight:
Zyrtec (24 hour allergy pill...I am highly allergic to cats and I own four) LOL!!!
Nine:
Prozac (remember the post about hot flashes...this one I am sure really works!!! NO MORE HOT FLASHES!!!!)
Ten:
Collagen powder (I put this in my coffee everyday...it is supposed to help with the knee pain and I truly think it has) On a funny note: my nieces and nephews call it my "cow powder"....LOL! It is made from ground up cow bones!
So, that's my list! Maybe too much information but I am just wondering if I am the only one that hears something is good for you and jumps on the bandwagon!??!?!
I will be very interested in your feedback! HA!
I hope everyone has a healthy and happy day!!! HUGS TO YOU ALL!
Do you take any voluntary supplements? How many a day? Does this many seem crazy to you?
