Supplements, schmupplements (Day 231)…
October 17, 2007
How fun is that subject heading? In fact, if you can say that out loud, without stumbling, I’ll send you a complimentary tote bag!*
Anyway, as you might have guessed, today’s post deals with supplements, but also vitamins, digestive enzymes, detox kits and various other powders and potions — all of which I’m doing away with. While many nutritionists will insist that, in our modern, GMO-ridden times, we simply can’t be healthy enough without incorporating these into our diets, I just can’t cope with all the plastic packaging.
The few times my tummy has caused me trouble, it’s usually been related to stress or something I’ve eaten, or maybe even not eaten. Sometimes, I have no idea why it suddenly hurts, or decides to look like it’s six months pregnant, or makes scary gurgling noises. Either way, after trying a few detoxes and more than a few bottles of Ayurvedic this-and-that and herbal whatnot, I’ve decided that most of it’s a waste.
I’m sure there are plenty of supplements that are justifiable and that do in fact make people feel better, but as long as I’m eating a balanced organic diet and not showing signs of scurvy or anemia, I think both my body, my wallet and the earth will be fine without them.
