Supplements or Vitamins

Ice_Pop

Do you take anything, or do you try to get all of your nutrients through diet? I used to take multivitamins. I hope that I eat well enough, but the thought does come back that I should take something supplemental.

How have you felt lately, Ice_Pop? Although I doubt a multivitamin would hurt, I wouldn’t go too wild with supplements unless I thought something was wrong with me. My doctor recommended that I take fish oil for my cholesterol a couple of years ago. My cholesterol has gone down since then, but I’m not sure whether it was the fish oil or the new vegetarian diet that did it for me. Maybe it was a combination of both.

Cholesterol is a potential issue for me. My doctor gave me a heads up. I will look into fish oil and see what else I can do with diet and exercise. Thanks for asking, Posey

I take a calcium supplement because of my age and body type. I might add to that later, but for now I’m doing okay with my meal and snack choices.

For me, vitamin D and omega, hopefully what I eat is sufficient for everything else, I’ve been following a plant based diet for almost a decade now and haven’t developed any problems… So I think I’m good. 🙂
