A Multivitamin for Me? Really? YES!

A multivitamin? Who needs that? Likely most of us in Montreal.

Does this scenario sound familiar...?

"Sam has to be picked up at 4 and to practice by 4:15. Mark has to be picked up at 3:45 and dropped at the Montreal pool at 4. Sam is done at 5:30 and Mark is done at 5. What about dinner before the meeting at 7:30 and Sam has to be at the game at 8. I'll just grab something for us to eat in the car." … Whew!

Our lives move so fast that life In Montreal tends to be busy indeed! We are running and multi-tasking like crazy. If we have a second to consider the food we are fueling ourselves with, let alone our family members, we may feel a tad guilty, knowing that we should eat better. But, as we all know, that moment is fleeting, and we are back to our frenetic lives full of junk food here and there.

Even if you can't make it to Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic for a chiropractic Cox Technic adjustment as often as you should or make time to exercise every day, taking a simple dietary supplement may be an easy, reasonable addition.
