Healthy Habits Wednesday

     Supplements are a good habit of healthy living.  Which ones to take are quite the mystery.  The shelves of the pharmacy and health food store testify to the plethora of choices and claims. Some people make a big living hocking their claims and potions.  My doctor told me to take 4000 mg of salmon oil daily for my cholesterol.  I've been doing that for going on two years now.  I just started CoQ10...it's for the heart, but I forget how it helps.  I recently added a multivitamin to make sure I'm getting iodine and iron.  I'm on the downward trial of three months of glucosamine chondroitin for my hip joint pain.  During menopause I was having similar pain.  A daily dosage for three months made it better then.  The jury is still out, but it has been feeling better this week.  I have a couple of weeks left.  I am getting tired of counting and swallowing all of these pills each morning.  I see now why people portion them out for the week.  Taking supplements seems a bit like going down a rabbit hole.  I do want to focus on getting what I need from the foods I eat, but I definitely have more to learn.
