Hi Jane - right now I'm not doing too bad mentally but did something funny to my ribs at work by bending over in a weird way. I felt something go 'pop' & a sharp stab of pain. Oh well, if it gets worse, it's workman's compensation for a while. I don't mind.
I keep my supplements with my meds in a handy, attractive green cardboard box :-) & it's such a habit that I rarely forget to take them. I've been taking some supplements for about 30 years now (since I first managed a health food store) & it's simply habit.
Personally, I think our nutrients should mostly come from our food, but just how nutritious is most of it now, especially the way it's grown & marketed? And then again, I'm not sure the nutrients in our foods, alone, are enough to counter the pollutions & environmental poisons we now encounter. I consider supplements to be extra insurance. Other than my neurological problems & arthritic-like pains, I'm amazingly healthy for my age - never get sick & can outdo most people my age in stamina & strength.
