A multivitamin? Who needs that? Likely most of us in Toronto.
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 Toronto 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 packed with so much to do that life In Toronto tends to be busy indeed! We are running and multi-tasking like crazy. If we have a second to consider the food we are feeding our bodies with, let alone our family members, we may feel slightly guilty, knowing that we should eat more wisely. But, as we all know, that moment is fleeting, and we are back to our frenetic lives full of unhealthy snacking here and there.

Even if you can't make it to Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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.
