Light Hearted

A new addition to my routine, courtesy of my recent doctor’s appointment – a shiny new supplement called B12. Yes, you heard right. The saga of supplements continues, and it turns out that being a vegetarian might have just led me down the path of B12 deficiency. If this keeps up, my kitchen countertop might need an extension to accommodate the growing supplement family. You see, I’ve been on a first-name basis with Vitamin D for the last five years, and now, I’m welcoming another daily pill to the party.

The Supplement Revolution: Once upon a time, my interaction with supplements was a polite nod in the direction of the multivitamin bottle. Now, it’s as if my life is an ongoing audition for a role in a vitamin commercial. “Are you tired? Lethargic? Feeling a bit blue? Fear not, for the power of Vitamin B12 is here to save the day!” It’s like having a troupe of miniscule superheroes living in my kitchen cabinet, ready to leap into action at a moment’s notice.

The Morning Parade: My mornings used to be about chasing that perfect caffeine buzz and making sure I didn’t forget my keys. Now, they’ve evolved into a meticulous routine that involves precisely timed pill consumption. It’s like a Broadway production, and I’m the director making sure everyone hits their cues.

The Supplement Shelf: In the modern kitchen, the spice rack has met its match – the supplement shelf. Rows upon rows of bottles in vibrant colors, each promising to be the missing link between you and eternal well-being. Is it a supplement shelf or a portal to a parallel vitamin universe? We’ll never know.

Social Media vs. Common Sense: Ah, social media – where influencers emerge from the depths of dietary pseudoscience, armed with bottles of overpriced supplements and an endless stream of “Before and After” selfies. Suddenly, you’re not just considering a B12 boost; you’re pondering if Vitamin X might help you levitate.

Overheard at the Gym: “Dude, do you even supplement?” A casual gym conversation that used to be about protein shakes now encompasses a saga of vitamins, minerals, and extracts. It’s like a nutritional battle royale, and if you’re not armed with a pre-workout, intra-workout, and post-workout supplement, did you even work out?

The Great Debate: Do we really need all these supplements? Are we investing more in vitamins than in our hobbies or retirement funds? Let’s be honest, you’d almost think our health insurance plans included a free monthly supply of multivitamins with the way we’re stockpiling them.

Final Thought: Well, I do have to listen to my doctor, so will be planning on starting on B12, but I do hope that supplements will stay as sidekicks, not become center stage stars.
