I'm appreciating everyone's thoughts and comments on my blog post yesterday about multi-vitamins. Keep the thoughts and info coming, if you have an input on it. Part of me reads the ingredients list in the OneADay, with all artificial flavor and colors added compared to the multivitamin I take and think ya...it's probably worth the extra $.
I am intrigued by barbaradougherty126's comment about the dehydrated beef liver and pure organic Turkey Tail. I had to look up the Turkey Tail. It's a mushroom. Also obscure's comment about the over 55 plant based vitamins and her increased energy. I'd love to know the brands from both of these commenters.
A year or two ago I tried some of the "fruits and veggies" supplements, because I know I don't get enough of either. I didn't go with the super expensive "Balance of Nature brand" but tried a less expensive brand, for 2 months. I stopped because I had no noticeable change in how I felt. I picked up a bag of a healthy smoothie with fruits and green stuff in it but I have yet to try it. I will give it a try this evening and see if I like it. If I do, that would be a better way to get my fruits and veggies, then via vitamins.
The only thing I have tried that I 1000% noticed a difference in how I feel is the grounding mat. That was worth every penny. And as I mentioned yesterday, I can vouch for the Zyflamend Prostate supplement dh is on, as well.
My half sis is still stressing and dealing with her step dad's decline. He's one tough SOB, that's for sure! After his broken pelvis, from a fall, last summer, they were told his body is filled with cancer (He is like 92 or 93 years old). He's been in and out of the hospital, but once they clear him, he wants to go back to his home and he doesn't want his family to get him any help. That's has been the most frustrating part for my sis. There is no way he can take care of himself. He can't walk yet somehow gets himself into his wheelchair. He's somehow (not well, of course) feeding himself. she said his feet are so swollen they are blistering. I can't believe he's made it this long. The family finally did get him to concede a couple weeks ago to having a home care aid come in to administer his meds. It was twice a day, but his doctor added meds and last week they started coming in 4x a day. Yesterday morning the care aid found him on the floor unresponsive, so of course called 911 and they took him to the hospital. Later yesterday afternoon he suffered a major stroke. Yet, he's still hanging on. I guess the only silver lining in this is now he will have to stay in hospital/nursing care and at least sis and the family won't be stressing about him trying to take care of himself on his own. She will be relieved when he's passed and over all this suffering, that's for sure.
Well, I need to get back to work from my break. My boss and I have a zoom meeting with our new bank. We're having to switch banks, because our old bank is turning into a credit union and that won't work well for business banking. Fortunately, it's with a new bank, our banker lady moved to, so she is familiar with us and our business, so it should be a pretty smooth transition.
Your poor sister. And you know when he passes no one will make an effort to even give her a little something for all the help she's given to her step dad. 😞 I think the smoothies are a great idea! Can't wait to hear about them.
