We all must do what we feel is best for our well being. For some it is exercise, lots of exercise, for some it is managing their diet and for others, it might be vitamins and supplements. My plan includes little alcohol, adequate protein from non-plant sources, fresh fruit and veggies, non and low fat dairy, a fish oil pill, a daily multi-vitamin, and that's only every once in a while, olive oil in moderation and laughter.....as well as a sweet treat and a pizza every once in a while. The Mediterranean diet works well, too.

Pooh, your comments make sense to me. I also think that laughter, loving life, and having a positive attitude have a lot to do with good health.
