A multivitamin? Who needs that? Likely most of us in Oxford.
Does this scenario sound familiar...?
"Sam has to be picked up at 4 and to practice by 4:15. Mark has to be picked up at 3:45 and dropped at the Oxford pool at 4. Sam is done at 5:30 and Mark is done at 5. What about dinner before the meeting at 7:30 and Sam has to be at the game at 8. I'll just grab something for us to eat in the car." … Whew!
Our lives are so fast paced that life In Oxford tends to be busy indeed! We are running and multi-tasking like crazy. If we have a second to consider the food we are nourishing our bodies with, let alone our family members, we may feel a smidgen guilty, knowing that we should eat more nutritiously. But, as we all know, that moment is fleeting, and we are back to our frenetic lives full of fast food here and there.
This is where dietary supplements come into play. Multivitamin supplements may fill in those nutritional gaps. Even if you can't make it to Satterwhite Chiropractic for a chiropractic Cox Technic adjustment as often as you should or make time to exercise every day, taking a simple dietary supplement may be an easy, reasonable addition.
