3 weeks ago, I have discovered something I never thought existed as a vitamin. I have always thought melatonin was a hormone in your body. Some how, some medical pharmaceuticals have harnessed this hormone from plants (most commonly from wheat, barley, oats and/or walnuts - who knew?)
Ever since I bought a bottle (manufactured by Sundown Naturals) from the grocery store, I've been sleeping better without any of the unpleasant side effects as I have with mirtazapine. It takes me about 5 to 10 mins to doze off and wake up refreshed in the morning.
I have also been taking multivitamins to help keep my iron and biotin up to snuff. My hair is healthier and stronger; especially when I have switched my shampoo to Garnier Whole Blends.
The cast iron pan has help a lot in the last 3 months. My iron is still low but at least I'm no longer anemic. I can withstand a 65° F weather without having to don on a jacket or a sweater.
I have also been exercising everyday. I've lost a total of 14 lbs from 140 lbs since March, 2017. I have 17 more pounds to go. My husband has found TV dinners for me which has not caused any digestive issues recently. Finding natural foods is a chore. Especially kosher/halal meat.
I'm just grateful that I still have options when selecting foods that do not contain any chemicals. Purchasing the Pūr Water Filtration pitcher was a good alternate investment. My first Pūr Water filter for the faucet broke.
Keeping myself busy with future goal plans have made my depression more manageable than it used to. I don't think I can ever see myself stopping these good habits.
