A high fibre diet, of course is even better - provided you don’t have a condition that is counter active to fibre …

@rashida-True ! I mix very quickly and chug it down before it gets gelatinous ! After a certain age it seems difficult to negotiate all the things that are beneficial to our health around the medications we take. No fiber, calcium or magnesium near the thyroid med ! Spacing everything apart seems very daunting ! Added onto that are things like diverticulitis and what can cause a flair, osteoporosis and even more interactions. The old folks used to say " Don't get old ." I never felt I was old until facing these problems at age 68 but I agree - the natural route seems so good to me when /if possible. Thanks for the tip !
