A...Actually, I believe I have met a few sad fishes. A friend of ours gave us some really big, cool fishes that she had been raising for years. Within a week they were all flopping over sideways and slowly swimming around that way. Luckily, my friend was able to revive them, once they were safely back in her own aquarium.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of depression, my visiting teacher taught me a great way to deal with it. She called me up every morning at six o'clock to make sure I was awake, and then came over to my house. This time worked for us both because our husbands and kids were home sound asleep, so they didn't mind us being gone. We would say a prayer and then head out for a 45 minute walk. We started out by taking turns reading a page from the Book of Mormon as we walked. We tended to think we had extra protection since we were carrying the scriptures with us. After reading a chapter, we would just walk and talk. We both felt so good when we got home, not only because of the endorphins, but also because we had accomplished everything we really needed to do for ourselves, and were ready to dedicate the rest of the day to our families, work, school, etc.<BR/><BR/>I have since learned about the fish oil. We have used it off and on for about 10 years. Last summer I did a lot of research and settled on 5 dietary supplements:<BR/>1. A daily multivitamin (Centrum with Lycopene or comparable). <BR/>2. Vitamin E (400 I.U. water soluble). <BR/>3. A Calcum/Magnesium/Zinc supplement (333/133/5 mg).<BR/>4. Bluebonnet "Age-Less Skin Formula" which contains 500mg Vitamin C Ester, 100 mg DMAE, and 50 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid.<BR/>5. Labrada "EFA Lean Gold" which contains 300 mg Omega-3, 250 mg Omega-6, and 175 mg Omega-9 Fatty Acids, as well as 130 mg tonalin CLA, per capsule. This contains no fish oil, but is made with flax seed oil, sesame seed oil, safflower oil, borage oil, and sunflower oil, so there are no fishy burps!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111551899543642042noreply@blogger.com
