The average household contains approximately 84 different vitamins, supplements and prescription drugs cluttering their medicine cabinet, bedside drawers, kitchen cabinets and countertops.
What about your travel toiletry bags? Half of the time, we don't even know what these tablets or capsules were supposed to do for us? Did we want to prevent a hangover or cure acne? At one time, you attempted to save space and put them in pill boxes or sandwich baggies.
Who the hell knows what these pills are now! Probably most of your prescription drugs have long expired! If you come down with one of those nasty infections middle of the night, maybe you can finish off the leftover anti-biotic.
That bottle of the muscle relaxant which was prescribed to you 15 years ago may come in handy the next time you have a muscle spasm in your back.
You don't want to live through that again! Remember, you paid a lot of money for it! And those weight-loss supplements that you have been planning on using sooner or later are still sitting on that shelf.
You look at them every day and feel relieved that you are preparing for that day.
You'll start taking them when you decide sticking to a diet and when there is no longer any ice creams in the freezer.
Unfortunately, the capsules have turned to a brownish yellow color with specks on them.
What do those liver spots on capsules indicate? Are they still good? Some bottles of vitamins no longer have a visible date on them.
Well, the time has finally arrived for our households to scrap all of this clutter.
We should do some house cleaning anyway.
It also takes up a lot of valuable space, and is downright dangerous with young children around.
More than likely, the amount of money we have spent on these vitamins, medications and supplements would cover the cost of a cruise or a ski trip.
By the way, how do we know what we truly need?
