my dietary supplement

Do you take dietary supplement ( penokok diet)? Before you try any dietary supplement, take a close look at the bottle and the science behind the claim. Then proceed with caution. If you ask me, I would prefer the one that says HALAL, approved by KKM and of course ALL NATURAL bcoz i want to avoid prescription drugs or any synthetic. 

I turned 40 recently. All this while, i was very skeptical about supplement. I hv few friends who is a doctor, a dietican and in fact, my daughter is a doc-to-be also. When in doubt, I will always ask them. Their common answer will always be, "You must take vit C & vit E, at least. Now you are no longer young. You need all that."

And finally today, I make my choice. A wise one, i hope. I've been asking around...friends mostly, about what they take for supplement. I did my own research of each product and choose what's best and suitable with my lifestyle. Honestly, i'm not so worry about what supplement to take, how to consume and whatnot bcoz i have a healthy lifestyle since my teenage years. I eat right, i do my cardio exercise regularly, i monitor my fat & calories burnt. And alhamdulillah, i never encounter any health problem so far. Syukur...

After i did my own research, this is what i opt for. Vita C & Vita E from Shaklee.  I am somehow less certain about the need to supplement with Vit C but in general, i know i need approx. 500mg to 1g of Vit C each day. Mine is 922mg. On other hand, the amount of Vit E needed by an adult is at least 15mg. Mine is 667mg. 

In short, identify your health goal and find out the best supplement to achieve them. Dont forget to know when and how much supplement is best based on your health history. As for me, i have found what's best for me.  

So, supplement wisely! 

Control Your Diet

It has been a while...

Now is the time to declare your independence by choosing to eat foods that help you reach your diet goal. For example, dont allow your host, friends, even waiter to determine what you will eat. Make that decision by yourself for once!!! Learn to determine what menus are best for you and stick with your choice. 

Hati-hati also with 'All You Can Eat" offer. These four words spell success for some restaurant. These are dietary hazards for dieters actually. The "All You Can Eat" actually is "I Dont Care!" for some restuarant owners.  

Friend can also contribute in controlling your diet. Most projects are made easier when you have a co-worker. Try team-dieting. Find a friend who also wants to shed a few pounds. This can be motivating. Remind each other of food boundaries and the benefits are mutual. Your encouragement may be just what your teammate needs.
