DAY 45 - VITAMIN INFO and NEW MAYO

It has been decided (by my doctor) that eating the orange is going to spike my blood sugar, so better to get my Vitamin C in tablet form.  At this point I want to say something about vitamins:

Most vitamins are fat soluble.  What does this mean?  It means, from a layman's standpoint, in order for the body to absorb the benefits of the vitamins, they MUST be taken along with some fat in your diet - or you will just pass them out in urine.  So what does this mean for YOU?  Take the vitamins with the largest meal of the day.  In most cases, that's the evening dinner meal.  So when I take my evening meds I also take my supplements and vitamins - and they get absorbed into my blood.  I do this as I am preparing my dinner.  It is a ritual and it happens every night.  Trust me, it works.
