my husband is taking a blood pressure medication and was put on lasix (a diuretic). does he need a potassium supplement?

Im taking vitamins and then drinking tea to detox my digestive system. i want to make sure the vitamins i put in arn't being wiped away with the tea.

I did a quick google and yahoo. Can't find anything on it.

My doctor called and told me that after running some routine blood tests found that my potassium was low. She prescribed me a potassium supplement to take for three days and get my blood work retested in a week. I just got my blood test done yesterday (so it has been a week since I stopped taking potassium) and I feel terrible. My legs feel like they are cramping and I'm having trouble walking from it. And I feel really dizzy. Are these side effects of stopping the potassium? I'm planning to call the doctor…but they aren't open yet this morning and wanted some opinions.

Thank you so much for your help!!!

…I am a professional speaker on the topic? I advocate the use of these lifestyles, therapies, and products for health, wellness, and slowing the aging process. I definitely practice what I preach. I use/do everything I recommend in my speeches. I am in my mid-50s and look (and act) much younger.

I know that I am a walking promotion for my speaking business and that my appearance and behavior validates my expertise/opinions in the audience's eyes. Therefore, I have to believe that my personal use of vitamins, supplements, and other alternative therapies should fall under the category of a business expense and be tax deductible. I am told by colleagues that this is "probably" true, but no one can give me any hard data to back up that claim.

If you agree (or disagree), can you give me the references I would need and could use if the tax deductions are ever challenged by the IRS.

Thank you for you help.

I already take whey protein.
But Im worried about the other stuff like Vitamins, minerals, iron, calcium etc… Im thining of getting some tablets from the pharmacy.

What are some suggestions?

What types of minerals vitamins will I need the most?

I bought a bag of dried pineapple and it lists Vitamins C and A as 0%. Whole pineapple is full of the stuff. There's no sugar, and citric acid is listed as the only other ingredient.

I don't know why this is so easy for others, but so tough for me. I work full-time, and hate cooking. I usually eat a lot of carbs (bagels, breads, sandwiches, etc) because it is the quickest and easiest thing for me to eat everyday. I also have a hard time thinking of how to eat my daily fruits and veggies. The only way I can think of cooking veggies is steaming them, and that gets so boring after a while. Does anyone have any good ideas/suggestions for eating healthy on a regular/daily basis, getting my fruits and veggies in and eating a balanced diet, without spending hours in the kitchen everyday?

Is it ok to make sure that you get all your nutrition, vitamins and minerals in 3 or 4 days?

..Because it is hard for me to get all of them in a single day!

Thanx!
