All the other mothers at our elementary school are not 51 years old. The first time I had a kindergartner was in 1978 and I was 24 years old. 27 years later I still have a kindergartner and two even younger kids.
I take a dozen or so vitamins every day as is evidenced by my "medicine" cabinet. I saw a picture in a magazine of a typical 50 something year old woman's medicine cabinet and it had blood pressure medicine, diuretics, Claritin, Fosomax, Zantac, digestive aids, fiber pills and anti-anxiety pills, plus hemoroid ointment.
Downstairs in our kitchen I also have my mung bean sprouts, broccoli sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, tofu, wheat bran, unhulled sesame seeds, trail mix, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, soy milk, soy beans, black beans, red beans, pinto beans, lentils, brown rice, soy nuts, rolled oats, brewer's yeast and much more. Drinking water all day or herb teas instead of sodas also helps. Add the fresh, organic produce that my garden was producing before we went into a 6 week no-rain spell and, no wonder, I am bursting with energy.
I may still be an old bag of a mom for that kindergarten class but I'll bet that I am internally the healthiest old poot in the entire school building.
I want to be strong and healthy for all my grandchildren's futures as well. Great grandchildren also.........

Cindy,
Hello! I am a mother of twelve (soon to be 18 with our next adoption) I have found your blogs through Claudia's. You both inspire me greatly and help me make it through those tough times. It is wonderful having someone that I can relate to on so many levels (even if we haven't ever met in person). I read this post and like you have a cupboard full of vitamins and herbal solutions. My father is a Holistic doctor as well. I read a really good book and came across some great products just recently that might interest you. The book is "The PH Miracle Diet' by Dr. Robert Young- it explains the importance of keeping the proper Ph balance in our body which is achieved through eating veggies and the like and drinking properly balanced PH Water. His products can be found by going to www.innerlightinc.com/fountainofyouth - also - I just am starting to blog - I am doing like you- as a way of journaling our busy life - my blog name is mommapajamaskidbits but you can also go to our website to learn all about us - www.therossfamilysite.com (that's if you are interested) Thanks again for documenting your life and sharing it - it helps me tremendously!
