The Quest Never Ends.

One of my other blogs has been getting a lot of attention regarding some posts I've made regarding weight loss products and other types of supplements. I have to be very careful as to what types of supplements I take because I take a Beta Blocker for my blood pressure and things like Ginseng and Flax could potentially cause my meds to not work. That would be counter productive for my greater health issues. You take meds to lower your blood pressure because(in part) of weight issues, then you take a supplement to help you lose weight in order to reduce your meds, and the supplements that weren't researched properly have now caused your pressure to increase because your meds no longer are effective. Makes no sense to me and I'm sure if your in a similar situation you can relate easily. Everybody with extra pounds to lose is looking for diet pills that work. Who wouldn't want a pill that would drop those cottage cheese pounds off that butt or a cutting edge prototype 37c or something that will tone and tighten wrinkles on the not so young? Everybody would love that because everybody wants to look good. What did Fernando say.It is better to LOOK good than to FEEL good! You get the drift. My advice: before taking any herbal based supplements contact your pharmacist if you currently take prescription drugs like BP meds, statins, etc and see about negative interactions. It's good to be slim but it's better to be alive and healthy, both is great!
