-Baby aspirin once a day

-Try to eat at least daily:

2 servings of fruit

5 servings of vegetables

8-16 oz of vegetable juice

-Exercise most days of the week

-Try to meditate and pray most days of the week

-Go to a tanning bed once a week (for Vitamin D from the UVB rays)

I seem to be the minority here...but I am not taking ANY supplements or medications. I am following a strict macrobiotic diet (designed specifically for me by a macrobiotic counselor, based on my lung cancer condition).

It basically consist of tons of organic veggies, whole grains, sea veggies and beans. NO dairy or meat (except a once a week white fish). Everything in the diet is designed to nourish the body. If it isn't going to do me any good -- I don't eat it!

I've been following it for 10 months and feel GREAT!

[Jyoung20]

My supplements include:

CoQ10

Shitake Mushroom

Vitamin C

Cod Liver Oil every other day

I follow the Weight Watchers diet----strictly for eating right--I choose foods that are good for me(not processed). Mostly high fiber and organic. This diet really makes me aware of what I am putting in my body. I also work out at least three days a week (walking, upper body strength, cardiovascular)
