Does not taking your daily vitamins affect your growing process?

I'm just wondering, cause my mom tells me to take my vitamins, and I don't, cause they taste gross. Does this affect the growing process at all? Cause I am 14, 5'2, 93 lbs., don't have my period, and I'm pretty small for my age. Is this because I'm not taking it?

Why would my mom have prenatal vitamins?

I recently found them in our medicine cabinet. They are new and couldn't have been for my little sister because she is twelve and we have moved several times. She wouldn't use them to grow her hair or nails. She has been taking "One A Day: Woman's Vitamins" so i wouldn't think she'd need extra vitamins. She has gained a little weight, but it isn't her diet. And she has been exercising regularly. My mom is turning forty soon, and hasn't gone through menopause.

Is it okay to take prenatal vitamins if your not pregnant?

Ive heard good and bad things about this. Is it true they make your hair(grow and get shinier),nails(longer), skin healthier? Im not pregnant nor plan on getting pregnant. Im only 15. My mom said its okay but that scince the prenatal vitamins they are very potent because they are designed for two people( mom and baby), that i should just take them every other day. Would this be okay? Why or Why not.
Thanks :)

Does high potassium have anything to do with high blood pressure?

My mom has recently been told she has high potassium and high blood pressure. She never had either before. She is also on Synthroid and Provachol. This does not seem to make sense to me because potassium is supposed to lower blood pressure. The both occurred at the same time. (The high potassium and high blood pressure).

What are things that people with high blood pressure & high cholesterol should eat?

My mom has really bad high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The doctors told her she needed to make a change and she doesn't. She said its because she doesn't have money & needs to eat whats available so i decided i would take over her grocery shopping for her & pay for them all. What sort of things should i get? I have no idea and would appreciate some help. Thank you :)
