Trivia Tuesday


Today I would just like to mention how important it is to take a multi-vitamin as well as eatting healthy. There are lots of "one-a-day" vitamins out there but I like to take one that is formulated for women, cause it has extra folic acid in it. Here are some facts on why you should take a multi-vitamin.
You may be showing signs of malnutrition if you ...
-
feel tired and weak.
-feel like you never have the energy to clean your home, make meals or even do the dishes.
-have difficulty losing or gaining weight.
-can't easily get to sleep.
-feel stressed and/or nervous.
-feel drowsy during the day.
-sometimes can't concentrate, you're mind feels numb, or you get confused easily.
-have problems with your digestion.
-have constipation and/or hard dry stools.
-have mood swings, or get easily upset.
-don't have patience for anything.
-sometimes feel depressed.
-have overly dry or oily skin.
-sometimes have nausea and/or abdominal pain.
-have annoying eye twitches.
-bruise easily.
-have muscle cramps and/or low back pain.
-sometimes get cracks and sores in the corners of your mouth.
-notice that your nails have become thin and/or brittle.
-are losing your hair.
-have water retention.
-have uncontrollable temper outbursts.
-don't eat a well-balanced nutritious diet EVERY DAY
I think alot of these symptoms could also be from other issues too and I know that I have had alot of these things happen to me, I hate when my eye twitches! Now I'm not a doctor and have no degree so don't get all freaked out if you have alot of these symtoms, I'm just trying to let you know that maybe you aren't getting all the nutrients you need from the food you eat so it is always a good idea to take a daily vitamin as well! And if your like my mom who hates to take pills you can always take a chewable childrens vitamin- anything is beter then nothing!
