Fruits and Veggies
| Vitamins, shmitamins! I think people need a daily dose of broccoli and apples. I’m serious. I tried the whole multi vitamin thing and would always get head achey and nauses when I would take them. So I developed the theory that maybe the multi vitamins had added too much of something that I may already be getting alot of. So I decided to try to get my vitamins the ol’ fashion way, by eating, and I was suprised at the things I found, for instance a green pepper raw has 300% of our daily value of vitamin C.
Anyway the point of this blog is that I’ve changed my view of vegtables. I had always viewed them as side dishes, things to be covered in butter, dressing or salt. But now I see them as sustenance, something I need every day with every meal to fuel my body correctly. Now i focus on how frikin good I feel after I eat an apple, the satisfying fullness a banana can leave me with, the crunchy sweet taste of fresh carrots, or the sour sweet juice of pomegrante seeds. Don’t get me wrong I still think there are some things people should supplement with vitamins (especially women) like iron, calcium, vitamin E and C (can never get enough of C), but I don’t think we should use multi vitamins as a crutch for crappy eating. Multi vitamin or no, an all processed diet will make you feel sucky. Thats the end of my rant, thanks for listening. |
