Supplements

I take many supplements

As we all know, or should know – the only supplement we all need is B12 – and we ALL need b12 even dedicated carnivores, also vegetarians, and specially us – going to be vegans.

Everything is a matter of choice – what you eat is certainly a matter of choice
Unless you feel you cannot get the right nutrients from your diet in the food desert where you live.
Or more to the point are not getting it from your really bad unhealthy diet that you know you should and could change.

A good multivitamin is always worth having in the cabinet and taking from time to time.
Especially if you hate vegetables, any green stuff or don’t eat fresh fruit.
If so, take one every day.
Even if you do eat fresh veg and fruit

These days the vitamins that used to be in fresh food are no longer there
due to the way they’re grown – so – the amount of food you need to eat to get the same value is so huge it’s practically impossible to consume it all in a day.
Bio – organic – fresh – locally grown foods are the most nutrient dense
So get that, eat that if you can – better than any supplement

And get out into the sun for your D3 every day
you don’t need to roast on the beach
just warm your face as you sit in the park
or garden in your shorts
roll up your sleeves on your bike ride

It’s also very popular to supplement for longevity
taurine, berberine, resveratrol, among others are popular
also supplements for muscle growth and bone mass
calcium, iron, magnesium.
If you take all the supplements recommended you’d rattle!

Weight loss supplements and fat burners are all the rage
But these are the most dangerous as they lull you into thinking you don’t need to make an effort to improve – or completely overhaul your diet and lifestyle to be healthy.
They cannot be taken long term – think of your kidneys, your liver –

And be kind to your guts – that’s another one
The pre and pro biotics – amazing as they are as supplements will not surpass getting this from your diet
get if from you diet – it is better for you
Just add pickles and kimchi or sauerkraut or atjar to your diet.
Even a splash of cloudy apple cider vinegar will do it.

Supplement heaven – choose your own pharmacy!
but always and forever – the good diet wins out.
