Health Supplements you should be taking

Hello once again! Here is a list of supplements you should likely be taking. Note that this is not medical advice, and some supplements are tolerated better by some people than others due to health / genetic factors. Generally, taking excessive amounts of supplements do not increase benefits, so stick to reasonable dosages. There is some variation between male and female in terms of requirements, I'm more familiar with male physiology and supplementing. There are some supplements I will mention that are not OTC, or are special prescription, which I may or may not take myself, and are not freely available. These supplement types are generally more expensive and less accessible, but I will discuss them also. Ideally you would start supplementing in your mid to late 20's. Most people only discover vitamins/supplements later in life when they begin to feel run-down, and by that point a lot of 'damage' has already been done to your body, which is accelerated with life

Random life advice blog today:

This applies to men or women, the only disposable razor worth using in my opinion, are the Gillette Blue II PLUS. Sometimes you can pick these up for 0.60c for two on special which is a bargain and a half, equivalent to $1.50 for 5 (Pack of 5 normally sells anywhere from $3.80 - $8.50!).


The new ones are Chromium coated, to try and stop the blade dulling too quickly and rusting. Realistically I'd recommend 2-3 full shaves from these, but some people just keep using them till they start rusting. I figure they're pretty dull by that stage and I hate a dull shave.

These shave so easily and produce an awesome clean-cut result, they have a small pad of material on them that when wet does a good job of lubricating the skin, but use lots of soap, strangely liquid soap works amazingly well...

When using a blade, you will almost always open up tiny micro-cuts on your face, often evidenced by blood spots if you use a paper towel to dry. Only once or twice have I avoided this, even when being extra careful.

Under no circumstances buy the BIC shavers, they are cheap rubbish and will tear up your face, I'm guessing only people with leather faces can use them successfully... stick with the Gillette ones instead.

Trick to getting a great razor face shave:

1. If possible have a 10 minutes or so warm soapy shower first. This causes your facial hairs to absorb moisture and they are way easier to cut, it also gets your skin clean which is healthy due to the micro-cuts mentioned above, preventing bacteria entering your bloodstream etc. Move onto step 2.

2. If not possible, rinse the face repeatedly with hot (not scalding) water. Rub in some soap and shaving cream over all areas you intend to shave. Keep the tap running hot, and dip the disposable razor under the running water, shave, repeat. This flushes the cut hair out of the razor leading to a superior cut.

3. If you intend keeping the razor, rinse it thoroughly with some soapy water, wave it around a bit to air dry it then put somewhere cool and dry to dry out, this prevents it rusting. Razors like this dull very quickly (as they are designed to do), so you will have to experiment to see how many shaves you can get with one, if you have any difficulty shaving with it, dispose of it immediately as it is probably done. The moisturising pad is unlikely to last more than 2-3 shaves.
