I snack on fruit and nuts. In the middle of my long workouts, I'll have a protein shake.
Nutritional supplements are not a substitute for a nutritionally balanced diet.
I'll take a multi-vitamin in the morning. I think that always helps.
I am not a big vitamin-taker. I have vitamin C during the winter, but eating lots of fruit and veg does the trick.
I balance my hormones with bioidentical hormones, I eat organic, I take supplements as determined by lab work, I sleep eight hours nightly, I use organic cosmetics and green household cleaners, and I avoid toxins as best I can.
Getting all of the nutrients you need simply cannot be done without supplements.
I'm not having any problems with my body so I don't need to supplement. Growing older you don't recover as fast, but all-in-all I'm doing well.
Athletes, like everyone else, at times take supplements but just have to consult your doctors and work on that. It's a process, but it's achievable... It's my job to be healthy.
A lot of athletes take legal creatine or protein powders or just different pills and supplements to be able to recover faster. And I don't take anything, I work hard and that's just what it is, I don't take anything.
I used to drink tons of caffeine. Now I make smoothies with frozen berries and Green Vibrance health powder.
