Take Your Vitamins! Tip #18
As a mom, I am a lot better at forcing pills down my kids throats than down my own gullet. My mother had a pile of pills waiting by our breakfast plate every morning when I was a child, so I think I have subconsciously decided that I have already ingested a lifetime supply of supplements.
Prenatal pills made me gag and multivitamins make my pee smell funny, but I choke them all down. I do this because I know that whatever I eat goes right to the baby in my body and the milk in my breasts. And whatever I don’t eat, my babies won’t get either.
Parenting is hard on the healthy person. I’m really good at putting beautifully multi-colored plates of food in front of my kids, and then I make myself a tortilla with cheese and eat their leftovers. This is where supplements come in. Even if I did manage to coordinate cooking totally healthy for my family and myself, our food would still be lacking in some nutrients.
Figuring out what you need and what your family needs is very important. I highly recommend Shaklee because they don’t add sugar to their kid vitamins, and their process is clean and green. You need to do some research and pick the most natural products you can find, otherwise you’ll just be ingesting more garbage. If you want to know more, here is my full article about Supplement Basics for everyone.
