Get your facts straight. Separate truth from fiction. Do some research before accepting common wisdom as the truth. From taking pills to using the most complicated exercise machine, take time to get to the facts. Everyone wants to sell something to make a quick buck. I am sure that most of the time, the pills and the machines do what they claim to be able to do, but it does not mean that it is the best way to achieve the result. Always also consult your doctor before making changes to your diet and your exercise regimen. Also make sure that you have discussed about any herbal supplements even before buying them.
