OTCs and other easy health tips

A multi-vitamin specific to your circumstances....women, senior, active, etc....is a good idea in this day and age of really accessible, crappy for you food.

I would not intake the full daily requirement of calcium, Vitamin D, etc in a supplement form as the best way to get that is through food and you could be taking in too much between the vitamins and food, and can OD on them.

Article about proper calcium dosage.

Article on vitamin D.

Article about fish oil supplements.

Looking this up for you took only 5 minutes and actually taught me something. More than 3 grams of fish oil can cause bleeding and other side effects.

Just because something's natural or works for someone else doesn't mean it's going to work for you, but I do celebrate your taking better care of yourself. We all need to practice good self care.

Other than that, and trying to eat as good as I can and getting moderate movement with intent into my routine, that's it for me. Oh and I have a fancy toothbrush too now. Not as fancy as yours but fancier than I used to have.
