VITAMINS ,THEY DO WORK

Alot has been written the last 20 years or more about healthy living and eating.I've never been worried about what I put into my body.I always ate pretty healthy,except for my addiction to Pepsi.As a young girl I ate very well.My father worked at a Dairy,so fresh Dairy items were always available as I was growing up.I can honestly say that my father made sure his children ate well.We butchered all of our own meat.Atypical lunch for my 4 brothers and I would be BLT's.I ate tons of yogurt as a kid.So,as I said earlier,I never really worried about eating healthy.In the 60's and 70's we did'nt hear about cholesterol or triglicrides.Not until the late 80's and 90's did I learn that what I ate as a child should have killed me.I know that I have survived BECAUSE of how I ate as a child.I've never been big on taking vitamins except when I was pregnant with my last child.Because I could'nt eat as well as I knew I should,I compensated by tken quite a few vitamins,every morning,without fail.My son weighed in at a healthy 8lbs.6oz..Now that I'm in my middle 40's and in poor health,I've begun to suppliment my food intake with vitamins and minerals.Most of the vitamins are for my heart,Omega3 (fish oil),biotin,zinc,C,B12,calcium and a multi vitamin.I take the fish oil and a supplement for my blood pressure 3x"s a day.And to be perfectly honest,I missed a day a couple of weeks ago,and I felt it.Ok,you might say it's all in my mind.One day without and she's feeling it?She's crazy!?No,I'm not crazy,I just know that this vitamins are helping my body.I also believe that my heart is benifitting as well as my blood pressure.I take melatoin at night if I'm unable to sleep,so,vitamins and herbs have become the new therapy for me.In todays world anyone of the many drugs we take for pain,heart ect.are half the time worse than going without.The drug companies are out for profit,we as consumers should be able to say "no" to all the different drugs that are prescribed for the smallest thing.We are a pill popping society.Why not try something different?Like trying to stop the illness BEFORE it gains a foot hold on to our body.So far the vitamins and minerals are working for me and until such time that they stop,I'm not going to look for any other types of medication.
