I'm not a big fan of protein powder, either. I occasionally have it, when I don't have the time to cook, but I'd much prefer eating real foods over protein shake made out of protein powder.
I take vitamins and supplements only when I feel my body needs it. For example, sometimes I do feel I need to take primrose oil or Vitamin B or magnesium or whatever it is. When that happens, I take them. But I don't just take things mechanically. I don't think it is necessary. To prove that, all the results of my health exams - cholesterol, blood pressure and everything else are all very excellent!
Your body is made strong. It heals itself, if you take care of it properly. You don't have to "baby" them.
Eat well and stay healthy. And use vitamins and supplements as necessary. Let's not depend on them. But when you need them, please visit my online store:

I'd be very glad to help you with what you need. :)
Perfect common sense and I agree. Yet the question remains, how does one know when a certain vitamin or supplement is needed ? I mean, you can feel you need vitamin C because you feel a bit down physically or B1 because you feel wired. But how does one know one needs selenium or something like that? I think there should be a possibility to test yourself and see exactly what you need and in what amount.
ReplyDeleteHi Victoire,
ReplyDeleteYour question is totally understandable! Yes, I can tell what my body needs, because it is pretty clear from how I feel or from the symptoms I'm experiencing. Sometimes it may be necessary to get a professional nutritionist's help to find out what your body needs and how much.
