Ever Feel like You Are Missing out.....
by not trying the herbs, vitamins and other potions that promise loss of weight, instant energy, a better outlook and/or a longer life?
Or maybe you have and found some that actually work. |

Heck no.
Lots of exercise & a decent stab at eating healthy are all you need. I've never taken any type of suppliments, herbal or otherwise, and I can count on one hand the number of sick days I've taken in the last 7 years. |

Nah, there are always going to be people out there that will promise you a bunch of things. If I tried all of them I'm pretty sure I'd be dead now...

You want a better outlook on life? open a happy fortune cookie.
 there is no one stop pill. If there was, i imagine that we'd all have heard and recognized it. But there isn't. there are people pretending or finding a way to help slow of fix 1 problem and it kind of works so some people kind of buy it. But in the long run, healthy is in your daily habits, not in your one time fixes. eat well, sleep well, and don't be too reckless, and you have great odds to be happy and well.

Everything in moderation. Eat healthy, exercise and develop effective ways of dealing with stress in your life and you will be in good shape.
You're much better off getting vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from food than from a pill. Now there are extreme cases where these supplements or herbal treatments, when coupled with lifestyle changes, are effective and provide a kick start to getting on the right path.

Good thing my mom isn't on these forums. She would go to battle with her Shaklee speeches. On more than one occasion she has embarrassed me when people are over

I dont' know what a shaklee speech is... ?
I've taken some multi-vitamins because i'm not a good veggie eater. (i.e. I don't eat any). But i'm trying to. It's just a nice little boost, but it doesn't make me a wild sex machine that can leap tall buildings... That stuff is just inherent in my genes. |
