When to take One a Day Vitamin? In the morning?

1

What will you do?

I want to begin taking One a Day vitamins; given my busy schedule, eating lunch (or breakfast...or dinner) is sometimes sporadic and not necessarily the most healthy. As such, supplementing with a daily vitamin makes sense.

2

How will you test your idea and measure success?

I'm going to purchase a daily pill box. The box will be filled on Monday mornings for the following week. The actual bottle will be kept in the cabinet, but the pill box will be placed in my make-up drawer in order to help spur my memory to take it in the morning.

3

How will you know you are done?

After 30 days in a row of successfully taking a vitamin (or until it becomes a continuous habit...)

How will you enjoy the journey?

By using Edison and keeping track of my progress! Love it!

Matthew Cornell I'm very curious about taking vitamins, esp. how to measure the impact on health. I've been thinking there are categories of trust in which we use scientific results as a guide, rather than direct (or at least immediate) results as data regarding effectiveness of taking an action. Diet is one case, for example. Eating a vegetarian diet is likely great for you in the long term, but does eating an apple have an immediate effect that we can measure? In my case, I *do* feel better with that kind of diet, but it takes time for the results to manifest - not easy to be patient in our short-attention-span culture. What do you think? Great to have you here!
