Vitamins: you can’t live without them, that’s for sure. The question, then, is: where do you get them from? In the ‘good old days’ (which may have been in your grandparents generation, but perhaps much further back than that) we got our vitamins and other nutrition from totally natural sources: the sun, the water we drank, and the food we ate.
Nowadays, and this is no secret, our food and whatever we drink, just doesn’t pack the same punch as it did in the good old days. There are many reasons for this, and I don’t want to write a dissertation on it. But, for example, many of us get our food from soil that is not as rich as it used to be. And the many chemicals that are used on most of the food we are likely to eat may deplete the nutrition even further, or at least add some unneeded poisons to our diet. And it often comes from far away from where we live, so it may have lost some more of its nutritional content on the way here.
So, what should we do? Well, one common approach is to take vitamins. This view has both backers and detractors.
Recently, according to the Seattle Times, one former detractor of this approach has changed its viewpoint.
They note that “the American Medical Association (AMA) is advising all adults to take at least one multi-vitamin per day — a reversal of their long-standing anti-vitamin policy.”
Their policy has changed it seems, because of advances in research on the effects of vitamins. It now appears that people who get enough vitamins may have a lower risk of some common chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.
Perhaps their change of view is reflecting that of the American public. For instance, 20 years ago the AMA only encouraged vitamin supplements for pregnant women and those who are chronically sick.
I remember, when I was younger, that there were some multi-vitamins on the market and some other vitamin and nutritional supplements also, but they were not your common fare. And when I started going to health food stores, I ran into a whole barrage of strange vitamins that I’d certainly never heard of in biology classes.
But now, for example, the value of folic acid in preventing some birth defects and heart disease is recognized.
Who ever heard of folic acid 20 or 30 years ago?
Of course it’s not just that food has less nutrition nowadays, but also that we are not so aware of caring about our own nutrition and how it relates to health. The AMA says that almost 80 percent of Americans do not eat the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to provide essential nutrients.
If that is the case, then we need to get our vitamins and minerals from somewhere. And it seems that vitamin supplements are now accepted by the scientists and doctors who should know about these things.
Another thing that scientists are learning more about is that our recommended daily allowances for vitamins may need rethinking.
Dr. Jeffrey Blumberg, of Tuft’s University’s Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging said that nutrition experts are concerned that recommended daily allowances for many vitamins are too low. RDAs were originally established to prevent symptoms of vitamin-deficiency disorders. But evidence is growing that higher levels of many vitamins are necessary for optimum health.
And, as we know, if these vitamins don’t come from our food, we need them from somewhere, such as vitamin supplements.
Dr. Robert Fletcher of Harvard University agrees. He reflects that many of us thought while we were growing up that a reasonable diet would take care of our vitamin needs. “But,” he says, “the new evidence… is that vitamins also prevent the usual diseases we deal with every day, (such as) heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and birth defects.”
However, experts, and others of us with common sense, remember that vitamins are a “supplement” to our diets. They don’t replace a balanced diet. So, by all means eat a balanced diet, but if you want to lower your risk of contracting the common chronic illnesses of today it would also be wise to add a good multi-vitamin supplement to your diet.

What is the point of taking multi-vitamin mineral supplements? How do they help?
You might have noticed unfamiliar changes in your body in the past few weeks. A feeling such as dizziness when you stand up after sitting for quite sometime, the feeling of eating one particular food type or probably you have noticed that your body is having simple complications and always feeling weak.
These are some of the symptoms for people lacking enough vitamins and minerals in their bodies. Letting your body continue in such a state means risking falling ill. Or you may be paving the way for diseases that might hang around in your body without you being aware only to emerge when you reach a certain age.
To stop this, you need to give your body a boost with multi-vitamin and minerals. These are very essential if you want your body to thrive and fight any form of disease that is contractible through the air.
You might wonder why you need to take a good multi-vitamins and mineral supplement while you are taking a well balanced diet. Food can be tasty but if not correctly prepared all the vitamins are damaged leaving very little for the body to take in. For instance vitamins gained from greens can be destroyed if they are cooked for too long. If the problem is not in the kitchen then it’s bound to be on the dinning table. Not all people like beef or pork. These denies them the chance to get Vitamin-B12 ,zinc, iron and calcium.
To keep the body warm and running strong, it’s very important that you supplement the body with the right dose of vitamins and minerals. Minerals also play their part in the body. Denying the body minerals leads to weak bones, increase in blood pressure, paving way for a number of cancer related illnesses and much more.
Young children who have insufficient minerals and vitamin supply may develop the habit of chewing things which contain a certain taste or smell. Ancient women who used to breastfeed for example supplemented minerals by chewing clay rocks. Men too would boil indigenous tree roots which they believed contained a strong source of vitamins which couldn’t be found anywhere during the dry periods.
It is very important to take the prescribed amount of multi-vitamins and mineral supplements. A balance diet should also be closely observed.
Some of the vitamins required in the body include, Vitamin C: The body will need more immune mechanism against illness. Vitamin D (folks moving to areas where the sun appears very rarely can have Vitamin D in the body lowering drastically). Supplementing vitamin D with multi-vitamins reduces chances of getting osteoporosis. Vitamin A helps in improving your sight strength as well as your immune system. With vitamin B12 you get strength and healthy muscle growth. Vegetarians may need to supplement their vitamin B12 which lacks largely in their diet.
Mineral supplements that the body requires include Calcium which is very important for strong teeth and firm bones. Iron lowers chances of muscle fatigue and help in providing energy to the body.
Chromium, Iodine, Manganese and Zinc are other minerals that should be supplemented by taking multi-vitamins and minerals as they are hardly available in most meals.
By keenly taking your multi-vitamin and mineral supplements you will be maintaining good health and will definitely be going for a longer life.
