Multivitamins

[socks 32,253]

Anybody use them ? At 52 I’m thinking I may need to take some. Work is through the roof at the moment and I’m working seven days a week up to 16 hours a day. Not all manual but hours sat behind a computer is no fun. In the last month I’ve had shingles (never had them before) and now that they’ve gone I’ve got a cold which I never get so I’m thinking maybe I need a little something extra. I don’t really eat processed food but I’m shit at remembering to eat fruits. So does anybody use them and if so which ones and do they work ??? ......

Berocca if I've got a cold or one on the way, that's about it 

[walshie 2,804]

Yep. Take a multivitamin and a cod liver oil tab every day. I really notice the difference now if I don't take them.

Berocca. Probably a placebo as much as an actual health benefit

I know it's often easier said than done and sometimes we must take advantage if working in a famine or feast type industry but cutting down on hours worked will do a man far more good than any amount of vitamins.

You dunna need out like that living here what you do need is a good sense of humour cos there's some nutters living here

I eat honey every day,  and I eat marmite everyday.  Both god damned superfoods!  I never suffer with colds, flu or any other common ailments.

Your body is genetically programmed to take the vitamins and minerals it needs, through eating, digesting and processing good food, far more efficienly than tablets.

Trepidatiously awaiting for sandymere or born hunter now, to shoot me down in flames, with three pages of nutritional mumbo jumbo they've pasted and copied now!!  .

Anyway, just a suggestion socks. 

 

Oh yeah, and plenty of good quality sleep, without it you could eat the best diet in the world, and still feel shitty.

You copy and THEN paste ya nugget!  

Nah, my opinion on nutrition, particularly supplements is that half of them are snake oil and the other half don't make a f**k of difference to 90% of the people who take them, not even placebo. And yet it's spawned a mulitbillion dollar industry with fanatical clientele who have a breakdown if they can't spend half their salary on supplements because they'll lose their 'gainz'.

But I wasn't going to comment because I didn't want an argument. 

Edited to add, I'm also a massive advocate of sleep. I think recent science has shown how critical it is to health.

Cheers for the answers guys. I suppose it’s just a mix of overwork and age lol. I’ve never been a good sleeper so I’m fukced on that front. Strangely I get my best sleep between 7-10am.

I take hempseed oil and a probiotic drink, I’m up at dawns crack like a spring chicken and out with dog for a couple of hrs then hobble home feeling all of my 56 years .... by 4pm I’m ready for sleep.
