I know that talking about mundane things like taking a walk and so fourth is not exactly exciting ground breaking stuff, or even terribly interesting but this was just  one of those days where I was able to really get out into nature and really just let my head clear of all the things that have been going on. Since the holidays, I haven't really had a chance to do that, but it really has proven to be a master formula for me. This new supplement I am taking has omega 3 benefits and I really fell like my mind is enjoying those benefits, I mean I am not going to find the natural cholesterol cure but  I really think I am on to something. So I guess all I am trying to say is, find the time to take a walk.

So the holidays have finally come and gone, and now everyone in my family can all collectively take a deep breath together. I want you all to feel as if you were drug away by a boat with a hot, hot captain on it and found another place somewhere warn in the sun and free of all telephones, children, especially children, quota's, and stupid bosses who are really just dying inside with there pointless lives. This would be one of the best lessons in how to relieve stress for everyone. This is the real master formula for relaxing and taking it easy after a long, cold, stressfully commercial holiday season. Some of you might even want to refer to this as the damage control master formula for grown ups, with grown up problems.

You here people talk all the time about what is the best? The best, the best, the best! I hear it from co-workers, from family. My mother will often fill your ear with honey and then poison it with a little thing called, what is, or better yet what is perceived to be the best. My mother always gets herself caught in a little more than just a little trouble when she strives so hard to find that next "best" thing. Weather it be the voices in her head saying, "buy vitamin", or "just get out there and buy the best multivitamin you can find for Bedimming Christmas sakes. I think it is sort of a sickness for her, she can't help it, her mother was the same way. It is really hard to satisfy the women in my family.

Man have I not learned the good lesson in how to deal with stress. I have had a lot of good fortunes in my life, and I am very thankful for that. God has been good to me and so have all of my friends. This is why stress is a new animal to me, a bridge over the river Qwai not yet traversed and not yet mastered. I don't know if it has anything to do with the weght loss shake I am taking, but I have my suspicions. I love all that nature is and I will turn to her now to give me comfort in my time of uncertainty. In to the breach once more then ayy.

So what are the best multivitamins and the best antioxidants for someone who has reactions to a lot of supplements?

Apparently there are none. I hate the fact that I just blow up when I take certain supplements. I would love to be able to take a protein shake for lunch instead of always eating a salad or a sandwich. I am so allergic to whey protein though and that seems to be the one that most protein shakes are made of.
My mother was the same way, save she was allergic noisy children as well. I guess it isn't all bad for me.

I was talking to my sister the other day, and we got off onto this wishful thinking sort of discussion and don't  remember who brought it up, (probably my sister) but we came to an idea about a pill to be taken, well, maybe you could take one a day but I would probably take two for the daily percentage value I would require. This vitamin would would be a forgetful weekend supplement. So many times I get bogged down during the week with things that I can't really enjoy the weekend. I would like to change that and so would my sister. So we thought that if you take this pill once a day, you could just get to Thursday of the next week without remembering anything. Sort of like that "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" movie but without all the heartache. I guess we will see...

This is the thing about blueberry's that I love, they taste fantastic and they are such a healthy antioxidant. Actually they are probably the healthiest out there. I love to put mine in the freezer for a little bit, freeze them till they are just a little frozen and then consume. I was of the opinion that freezing fruits would somehow detract from the fruits overall quality, but this is not the case. In fact they keep all there essential vitamin quality. I love berries because they are a primal nutrition source, something that has been around for a long time naturally.

I believe in the strength of all natural supplements, and I buy tons of products from vitamin stores.

But I am INCREDIBLY SENSITIVE to most organic products (or synthetic for that matter). I break out in hives when I ingest certain types of Gingko. I can't do any soy products. Even some forms of vitamin C give me stomach pain. I'm a ticking rash bomb waiting to rashplode.

I am constantly in search of a balanced set of vitamins that I can take without having all the nasty side effects, and that's what this blog is all about.

Next time I'll probably talk about my long standing battle of Buffered vs. Non-Buffered forms of Vitamin C, and which multivitamins are the good ones.
