engin33r asked:


I am asking this for my mom. She takes insulin and feels sick often. She’s not too old, in her 40’s but it feels like shes 80. She often feels pain at heart, and her legs and arms
right now i believe her diet SUCKS. she’s not obese even though she eats alot of oily food, but i think it does effect her diabetes. so any tips and suggestions will help plus a complete diet plan [breakfast,lunch,snacks,dinner] and things to avoid…
thanks

Airborne (health supplement)?

health supplement
turquoise asked:


I bought some Airborne (the lemon-lime flavor, because that’s the only flavor worth getting) because it’s the sick-cold-flu season, and I just can’t get sick right now.

My mom and I are having this debate:
Is Airborne less effective when more water is added?

I add no more than 6-8 oz, and I think it does NOT make it less effective. It doesn’t taste that bad! My mom’s just critical, and she think it’s too much. I don’t really care, I just want to know the effectiveness of it.

Help me settle this bet, pleaseee.

Mr SmoothHead asked:


What would be the best nutritional supplement that won’t have too many adverse gastric side effects.

My mom needs some. She seems to do well with Ensure high protein shakes with Beneprotein added to it.

She could not tolerate Glucerna as it caused exess gas and stooling. She does not have diabetes, but have glucose intolerance (pre-diabetes).

Thanks for any suggestions.
