you did indeed.

 

Sorry you're feeling low and tired Sprout

I take Tesco multivitamins and minerals [combined] but thats cos I was on Atkins which makes you feel run down sometimes. I think they do help, though it could be the placebo effect.

 

If you're a bit tired bananas are a great source of energy and potassium [sports peeps are always munching them] and maybe take something to keep your electrolytes up ?

I get the multivitamins with iron.

 

As to the question of whether they work? I think so....either that or I am incredibly healthy!

 

I am the first to admit that my diet in general is not of the best, but I don't really think I could ever achieve the ultimate balance as there are so many types of healthy/healthier foods that I just don't like, thus a cocktail of vitamins and suplements I feel is of benefit to me.

I'm ok Roger. Just not feeling myself at the mo.   I'll see what the docs says next week and like I say I'll start taking the vitamins I think. It might give me a kick up the arris 

Sprout would you not sign up to the local gym?

You can also hire treadmills/bikes that you can use at home.It's amazing how well you will feel in a short period of time .

I've got an air walker Erin. I just am to knackered to use it 

Sounds like your system needs a boost ,Doc will sort you out

With any luck. I also think I could be helping myself a bit more though. I'll try 

Hope the blood tests turn out ok Sprout.

Erin is right about exercise which gives you more energy strangely and just an overall healthy feeling. I  gulped a couple of Pro Plus  with ice cold water to sort of shock my system when I was flagging on the exercise bike. Pepped me right up!  

Though I shouldn't give advice as I've been off the bike for months and need to start again

Oh! Good luck Rosie 

Thanks Sprout. Its not luck... but a kick up the arris I need 

A few years back I got a full body bone scan,it took half an hour.This was to check bone density,it was fine.However my vitamin D levels were a bit  on the low side.(pale celtic Scot) i suspect most of the population are similar. i was prescribed  Calcium/Vit D tablets ,big things like a Steradent tablet,took them for a few years,then they took me off them.The calcium it seems can affect the heart.Kill or cure ,eh!

 

Sunshine is the the best way to get Vit D.diet not so much.

 

Oh Milk is good too.

They are vile to take ,I have tutti frutti flavoured ones.

I tolerate as much as I can. I'm not one for sitting about in the sun TBH 

I'd love to but Scotland is not known for its balmy hot weather. <--- that's me  a few days a year.

I had the lemon ones,

Talking about Steradent tablets^^,my mum used the tube to save up pound coins.  

I had them but they tasted like chalk.

Not that I have eaten chalk.

LOL! 

Yea they did really taste of chalk.There's been reports that some kids are showing signs of Rickets, due to them not getting enough Vit D .staying indoors at comps/games etc.poorer diet,not drinking milk.

Actually that kinda rings a bell with me. My mam didn't store coins (as I remember) but it was the action of the tablets coming down the tube that made me smile 

It's the funny little things that bring back memories that make you smile.

I take them regularly, and rotate them. Always, always evening primrose oil tablets for that time of the month. And mutibionta do some great vitamin/pro-biotics, I'd highly recommend them!

I eat abnormal amounts of pomegranates, cherries, and berries, and try to get as much fresh air and exercise as possible. Mrs Jer shovels in Red Clover.

I like berries and fresh fruit too .............it can have a down side - Mr Woo loves berries/grapes etc. - we have recently narrowed them down as one of the things that aggravate his diverticulitis - I still buy loads - just more for me now 

 

I don't take supplements or vitamins - Mr Woo on the other hand takes Cod Liver Oil, Glucosamine Sulphate and Aloe Vera (during a diverticilar attack).

you've just made me smile, my nana used to do that as well 

Aimee my mum used to cut the buttons of everything before she threw it out and she saved them in a big pickle jar,she did the same with Zips.

When we broke the house up I did laugh at some of the things she saved but never used.

I take hemp seed oil capsules 

Read this and you will too  

My nana had a button tin, it was an old biscuit  tin, I spent many an hour counting them 

My mum was on a course of steroids recently. She kept saying oooooooh I mustn't forget to take my Steradent tablet at 4 o'clock

Awww Bless

Look good muf and just ordered some  

It's that good that holland and barret hide it

 

 

 

I got them off Amazon muf - 120 for 8 quid.

 

Holland and Barratt are one of the worst extortion rackets going, esp on milk thistle these days and don't talk about Acai.

 

Still, they've got to fund Gethin Jones's and David Jason's glamourous lifestyles I suppose
