hah… judging from the comments in my previous post, just realised most of the men don’t believe in supplement. Emm…. not surprise.
A lot of people think eat healthy balance meal, exercise, think positive, enough sleep, then we will be energetic enough to march for the whole day.
yah… that is may be when you are young, or never give birth before, or never lose blood for few days in every month, or never need to do house work, running around with the kids, or no need to work in the day time, and handle the house work and baby/kid at the night time etc.
And what I think is usually when the person refuse that he/she need supplement, also he/she doens’t want to look weak. if I am not weak why should I take supplement?
I wasn’t think about supplement before, I thought “hey, my nenek-moyang also no need supplement wor, how come I need it?”
But then our nenek-moyang that time the life style are different wor, they don’t have computer, they don’t drive to work, they don’t consume a lot of foods with added perservative and others harmless chemical, they no need to stuck in the traffic jam cursing around (you know how many energy you will lose during the traffic jam?), they no need to play mind game in the office (brain wave damage, and brain cell destroy), women mostly no need to work after married and gave birth, now SAHM have to become WFHM (work from home mom) etc, and because of the media keeps stressing on how important the quality on husband and wife relationship, so we no longer in the “after give birth the sex life hubby is not that important anymore” era.
No, I am not talking about taking supplement and make me a superwoman, who no need to sleep. I am talking about even though if I have enough rest and healthy meal I still feel not alright, then my next resort will be supplement.
Twinsdad used to listen to me complaint here wasn’t right, there wasn’t good, at least now he no need to hear me whinning about my back, my leg etc. I have to be strong enough, otherwise he will be the one has to bring home bread and take care of the house and kids.
And don’t be too cynical to all the things around us, it might help us in the future.
at last, again — *Please don’t think that I am giving advice here to tell you what supplement to take, this is just my experience, consult your doctor for more info about supplement.
As long as the supplement is safe and you feel good taking it, I don’t see there’s any harm. BTW, some women take those supplement that makes their complexion look good too. When I’m older, I’ll also consider taking those…
hm… I also always feel very fatigue all the time. I’m always super tired but docs din ask me take any supplement wo. So vit b complex is for fatigue is it? Which brand is good a?
My hubby is special species, he is the one that consume supplement. He even bought a box of dunno what colon cleanser to detoxify his colon from E-excel and ask me if I wanna try out. I told him I don’t want to take laxative! LOL!
Maybe I should ask him to take B Complex too!
每一样東東都係適量咁用‧無壞嘅！最重要Ｄproduct proven safe to use.適可而止、不要適得其反，咁就無問題啦！
祝大家身體健康‧
有無長生不老的药介紹呢？
Trust me Maria, taking supplements really helps. I’ve been taking supplements for more than 10 years (with the A) and I’m sure they are helping me by keeping me still active and ‘fit’. I’m sure u know how old I am.
My hubby didn’t believe in supplements before but after he went for body checkup and was told dat he was lack of something, he was taking supplements since then.
But besides the supplements, we still need to exercise and eat healthily and I’m sure dat will help a lot to keep us ’sane’ and healthy.
I am for supplements ( hallo, your supplements wrong spelling, my eyes pain man).
But I wholeheartedly agree with your this post.
I also used to fall apart last time. Even got a stretch of time for no reason leg weak cannot walk.
Pregnant time gynae gave mutlti vit. Made me feel very strong.
I AM FOR SUPPLEMENTS.
because of all the rubbish we take in these days
i just starting to take fish oil supplements… it’s really work, my leg no more that easy 麻痹…
>> Shopping mum, now I am target on my energy, may be alter I target on my complexion hahaha…
>> ic3_que3n, I thought you have a lot promoter friends can intruduce the supplement to you ;)? different people have different opinion wor, good for me not neccessery good for you wor, but you can read from my previous post.
>> Jefferene, yah, your hubby is very special species, wake up at 5am to jogging right? actually it is good lor, to show your love to the family is to taking care of yourself.
>> Blogie-talkie, 有無長生不老的药介紹呢？ — 爱甘长命做乜？
>> Tracy, oh, I know which brand you take, my SIL and BIL are in that network too, they did supply me some of the suppliment :D.
>> ET, hah? got spelling mistake meh? where? I didn’t see anything :P.
you lagi mahu take, otherwise working and take care of baobao, double job leh.
>> cming, fish oil suppliment? not the SevenSea one hor?
係喔！咁呀！有冇药食咗会變得又靓又唔會識老架！
in my dim view, most men don’t take supplements isn’t because they have doubts nor being cynical, they are just lazy to take. that’s how I feel. they will only consider about taking supplements when they think they have the need.
personally, i don’t go against supplements. as a matter of fact i have a few ‘must have’ under different conditions. i think Vitamin E is good for skin, so female shall consider taking this daily for a better complexion. As well, Evening Primrose oil is a gift for female too. Personally if I take evening primrose oil before my menses I won’t suffer menstrual pain. When I feel that I am starting to get a cold or my immunity is starting to get weak, Vitamin C & B, and spirulina are great helpers (of course, with tons of liquids).
For the elderly it is highly recommended to take Chondroitin and Glucosamine as part of your nutritional supplements. This supplement is able to make your cartilage stronger/repair cartilage elasticity.
I think i better not be stubborned and take some vitamins too!! i haven’t been feeling the best lately.. so lethagic all the time.. even when i get enough sleep. Thanks for the heads up..
My say “Eat it when need it”.
I believed there are times body is weak and absorption is low, so that’s when you need supplements.
A Chinese saying, “yau wong dei, pin kor yuen jor lat ley” If healthy condition, who needs medicine/supplement?
Hey.. the way you wrote this post, as though at the end of it you are going to tell us, “Btw, I’m an Elken member. Call me if you want further advice”
Haha..
I also believe we have a more difficult time now as women.. *sigh* What more with bird flu, toxin here, poluted air there..
>> Blogie-talkie, 有吖，有吖，vitamin E :D.
>> Greenapple, thanks a lot, hope a lot of us can benefit from this.
Only lazy? I really don’t think so leh, I still think the another two factor are cynical, and ego :P.
>> Mama bok, I thought you did.
>> Michelle, even though you can’t read Chinese, but your Cantonese idiom is surprisingly good :lol:…
>> Zara’s mama, too bad I am not the agent for any supplement company, otherwise I guess I can make quite a good income :lol:…
hehe… elixir again.
男人，不见棺材不流泪。they only take supplements when doctor instructed them must/have to take it
