Multi Vitamin tablets

[MrMister]

Is it healthy to eat these for someone with a busy lifestyle who doesn't have much time for healthy eating ? DO they have side effects ?

Not going to do you much harm (other than your wallet) ,not going to do much good either. Much better to make time for some decent food - more enjoyable, too.

For most people who are eating reasonably well it makes very little difference. Also depends on your age, general state of health and what genes you inherited. After recovering from minor surgery I was advised to take zinc as it is is good for immune system.

I have a very patchy diet and I take a little handful of supplements and vitamins every morning - it's helping to keep me upright, I feel.

Have taken them for years and no side effects. So far have kept me clear of Ebola and Dengue fever so they must be good.

Take it from someone who ate too-many-business-lunches, MrMister

In the name of profits and efficiency, I skipped too many meals, then ate too many that were not healthy (but had to eat as the customer determined)

Twenty-five years ago I had a mild heart attack (wake-up call from my body). I totally changed my lifestyle. Three balanced, moderate meals nearly every day, walks and golf, do not rush-about so much (planning reduces anxiety), quit smoking, only drink in moderation (couple of glasses of wine with meal from time to time), and get a good nights sleep.

Feel better, look better and according to 'Bones', "Blood pressure and cholesterol are under control, so keep doing what you're doing"

But I do take a Multi Vitamin and Mineral tablet every day, for the the over-50s; I treat it as a little bit of insurance just in case I'm a bit short on anything

Strongly suggest you start reading the labels on what you're eating.............you'd be amazed at what you thought you were eating compared to what you've been sold and told.

Hope this helps..................enjoy

The best bet is to eat a varied real food diet. There's lots of things which are healthy and quick to cook, you don't a gourmet meal that takes hours to cook and is about the size of 2 radishes.
