Hearty Habits #17: Vitamins Galore

Noel Bautista of Simply Thrifty is sharing his Hearty Habits today and for a guy who’s supposed to be pinching pennies, he sure is taking a lot of expensive vitamin supplements!

I take: multivitamin, omega3, garlic supplement, calcium supplement, fruit and vegetable concentrate, vit c, vit e, multi carotene (for eye health..my eyes are still 20/20 even after working with computers for the last 13 years).

I haven’t had a fever over the last couple of years. The worst would be colds, cough. I would want to add exercise on my health regimen though.

Aside from all the supplements I take…

I don’t smoke
I don’t drink
I eat my fresh vegetables if we have them.
I buy fruits when I do groceries.
I buy meats with less fat or even if there’s fat, I don’t eat them.

I also used to wear a pedometer. My goal was to hit 7000 to 10000 steps per day. It gave me a reason to do window shopping and walking around the mall or park the car somewhere farther than usual, or use stairs instead of elevators.

I need to get back on that habit.

It’s ironic, I got my husband started on multivitamins and he takes them religiously now but I can barely be bothered to take mine. You guys put me to shame.
