Can We Benefit From Multi Vitamin?

By Haiyan Lai-Heskin

Some people don't eat as well as they should because they are pressed for time and it's faster to get restaurant food when they're out running around. Some people don't eat as well as they should because they don't really know how to eat in a more healthy way. Regardless of the reasons that people don't eat a balanced diet each day the end result that is people need to take vitamins and minerals in daily supplements to help balance out their poor diets.

In order to stay healthy and to get the vitamins and minerals that are missing from your daily diet, multi vitaminis is the ideal choice, but doctors and medical experts are holding on their opinions.

One of the biggest reasons that some doctors feel that taking multi vitamins is a waste of time is that most of the thousand of multi vitamins that are on the market today are made up of synthetic vitamins and minerals that were created in a lab specifically for use in a multi vitamin tablet.

How you think the synthetic vitamins and minerals help the body as much as the natural vitamins and minerals found in food would? Some doctors and medical experts argues.

There has been no conclusive proof that synthetic multi vitamins can be harmful to your health, and some evidence that suggests that multi vitamin pills are somewhat effective at providing the body with the vitamins and minerals that it needs.

Alough those synthetically produced multi vitamin are somewhat effective at providing some nutrients for your body, but a scientist at Northwestern University says that can't come close to the amount of vitamins and nutrients that are absorbed by the body through food.

The truth is that your body interacts with food it's much better and more effective to get vitamins and minerals from food than through a multi vitamin.

Multi vitamins are a good back up source of vitamins and minerals for people that don't always eat a balanced diet or don't always get the kind of nutrition that they should through food, most doctors would agree with that, but multi vitamins aren't going to completely replace the need for food.

The proponents of multi vitamin pills has their point that with soil depletion, pollution, and the use of pesticides and chemicals that the food people eat today isn't all that healthy and most of the vitamins and minerals have been depleted before a person even eats the food.

It is a basic understanding of whether or not multi vitamins are as effective as eating food to get vitamins and minerals . Since it's just not possible to eat a balanced diet all the time, knowing which vitamins and supplements you can take to help make up for the times when you can't eat a balanced meal will help you give your body all the tools that it needs to stay healthy.
