Vitamin B12 can help with energy too

Processed foods, high sodium products, fast food, candy are all drugs which the body does not need. Make sure whole foods are on the menu. If you have parents that cook, by all means help and know what's being cooked. Be aware of what you put in your mouth. Read, do some research browse the forums here and don't be afraid to ask people. The moderators here are very knowledgeable. Don't take if for granted. I hope you find your answer.
