herbal supplementsI have kept in touch with many of the friends I went to school with. I also have many friends of a similar age that I have met over the years.  I have noticed that some of the people I know who are my age have several health issues already. I am comparatively healthy compared to these friends and I have sometimes wondered why that should be. I can only conclude that I am healthier than many of my friends because I have made better lifestyle choices. I eat sensibly, exercise regularly, get sufficient sleep, avoid toxins and take herbal supplements. As a result of this the only appointments I make with my general practitioner are for checkups.  Some of my friends eat all the wrong foods, smoke, drink too much alcohol and would not know what herbal supplements were even if they were to bite them on the bottom. These friends are often surprised when I tell them about all of the herbal supplements that I take each day.  They wonder why I spend the money on herbal supplements. I wonder why they don’t because their health care bills are phenomenal. I actually save money on the cost of health care by buying herbal supplements. What’s more I make sure I get my herbal supplements for less than the standard retail price by shopping for them online.
