A convenient vitamin routine . . .

Cloud · 11-16-2007, 07:45 PM

ya got one?

Because I can't seem to do it. I'll go out and get all these vitamins . . . and then I don't take them. I can't seem to put them in a place where it's convenient and I'll remember.

These days, I only take a vitamin if I feel like I haven't eaten enough vegetables. Usually at the end of the day, when I realize what I missed out on.

I have one of those stupid pill-keepers. I got used to taking medications on a schedule when I was on the pill; I still have one medication that has to be taken twice daily, so it's not hard to throw in some D3, omega3, baby aspirin, etc. in the mix.

Oh, and I keep it right next to my toothbrush. That way, I see it when I brush and remember to take it.

Yep, the little bottle sits on the bathroom counter, taking it is part of the after-shower routine.

Cloud · 11-16-2007, 09:22 PM

hmm. I don't often drink bathroom water.

I used to take pills regularly, but these days, I'm off my meds.

Put them in the same place you eat breakfast?

You just have to find a convenient place to put them in your routine.

Clodfobble · 11-17-2007, 10:57 AM

Don't eat for at least 3 hours before you go to bed. You'll be hungry when you wake up, assuming you sleep for 5+ hours.

HM and I keep our meds in a box on the kitchen counter. My vitamins and anti-depressants need to be taken with or after food so I pick them up when I go into the living room with my breakfast and cup of tea.

Easy-peasy!

Oh and I can dry swallow most things, so vitamins in the bathroom wouldn't be an issue for me, just I eat on a more regular schedule than I wash (depending if I have Water Workout first thing for example, not washing my hair to get it all wet again)

My*must haves* are in the tea bag pot and my vitamins on the microwave beside the kettle.

bbro · 11-19-2007, 08:50 AM

I have medicines that i have to take daily, so I just add them in with that. Talk about a handful!! Plus, I bought these little ziploc bags from walgreens that are for daily meds. That way, I pack them up in the beginning of the month and just throw one in when I am not going to be home for pill time.

I eat pills for breakfast, very tasty.

Also try viatacoast.com they have some good stuff.

I'm a vitamin E person. Zinc and C when I have a cold. Vitamins at night.

Any vitamin/herbal tricks for Strep throat that anyone is aware of? We found out yesterday that Case's son has strep throat. He was treated at the doctor, but i feel ever so slightly sick and a minor throat irritation. I do NOT want to go to the doctor. We normally take good multivitamin as well as airborne when we start getting sick.
