Poppin' Bottles


As an alternative health care provider to be, I’m constantly surrounded by the world of supplementation. I’ve attended many health seminars with various supplementation companies represented. To be quite frank many of them are flat out garbage. Money talks and it shows. I believe there is a time and place for supplementation, however, we have been trained that the answer lies in a capsule or powder. In my opinion, our focus/efforts should be turned toward shopping, cooking and eating habits. Diet and exercise can go a long way to cure disease. Start the change this week! I’m not meaning throw out all your food and start growing everything in your backyard. Make the change slowly, buy one “new” fruit or vegetable each time you shop this month and buy one less unhealthy item. I grew up in a family where eggs, bacon and pancakes were the well rounded breakfast. It took me years to escape the trap and to shed the pounds. No ideas? Buy a handful of Kiwi fruit and throw it in with your cereal or yogurt. They are cheap and chalked full of Vitamin C. If you are still reading this, thanks, and please spend 30 seconds to respond to my questionnaire in the upper right corner of this page.
