Good advice
TAKE MINERALS BEFORE BEDTIME Magnesium in particular helps muscles relax and can promote more restful sleep as well as regularity, according to Mark Hyman, MD. Because more Americans are defi cient in minerals than vitamins (partly due to industrial agriculture’s depleting effect on farm soil), it’s smart to boost your mineral intake. Plus, the average multivitamin can’t fi t in adequate amounts of bulky minerals. Try: Bluebonnet Albion Chelated Multi Minerals; Natural Vitality Natural Calm.
“Remember to take
fi sh oil with your largest meal of the day. You have to take it with some fat; otherwise you won’t absorb it. I usually tell people to take it at dinner because that tends to be the meal where people eat more fat.”
–Tieraona Low Dog, MD
TIME YOUR MULTI WELL
Multivitamins can be energizing— especially if you’re taking a stress-relief formula that’s high in B vitamins—so they’re best taken with food earlier in the day. Some experts contend that liquid or whole- food vitamins are better absorbed by the body.
