Me Myself and I Question 3


My approach to caring for myself has changed - I used to exercise alot more, and I would still like to I just don't have the time.  I now try to incorporate healthier habits into my everyday routine - I try to eat healthier, watch my sugar intake, I don't drink coffee or sodas anymore and I try to reduce my gluten intake.  Kenzo keeps me pretty active so I get daily exercise that way, but I would like to be able to take a yoga class once or twice a week as I find that it helps me physically and mentally.  I also take a few supplements (especially B vitamins) to help with my energy levels and I drink a lot of Kombucha and water.   I would also like to get a massage at least twice a month as I find my body responds to those very well.  I suppose my health and wellness priority now is less about strength and more about optimizing my body and giving it the nutrients it needs specifically.  I now focus on my mental well being as well as my physical - yoga, massages, certain supplements I take play a role in that as well.

Blog 4 - Question 1

I definitely think vitamins and supplements are especially appropriate to buy as a natural product because I believe they are better fortified to nourish the body versus those that are more conventional.   I try to buy natural vitamins as often as I can (and if I can afford it).

A.   If this came from a new brand, I would definitely be open to try it as long as it wasn't too expensive.  I would probably try one of the products (probably the stress relief formula) to see how it worked before trying the other ones.   I suppose coming from a new brand that isn't established, I would be curious to try the product and/or search for reviews online or ask my friends if they have tried them. B.    I don't know that I could see One A Day doing a whole all natural, holistic line like this or if I would support i...

Blog 3- Question 5

In CVS, I found the natural products mixed in with the conventional products - the natural cold medicine mixed in with the conventional cold medicine, the natural laxatives mixed in with the conventional laxatives, etc.  I would prefer that all the natural medicines be located in one section together and not mixed in with the conventional OTC products.  To me, it makes finding all natural products simpler as it can be a bit of a scavenger hunt finding the all natural products when they are mixed  in with the conventional ones.
