Vitamins Are Vital and Minerals Are a Must In a perfect world we would all eat a perfectly balanced diet that would provide our bodies with all the vitamins and minerals we need for perfect health. Unfortunately, the world isn’t perfect and neither are we. A survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that only about half of all Americans eat a piece of fruit a day. The typical American woman doesn’t even eat the minimum RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for vitamins E or B-6, or the critical minerals calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. Vitamins and minerals are essential to every process that goes on in our bodies, even though as micro-nutrients we need them in relatively small amounts compared to the macro-nutrients carbohydrates, proteins, fats and water. Although a daily multiple vitamin and mineral supplement isn’t meant to replace a healthful, balanced diet, it can be a good insurance policy for those times when we don’t eat as well as we should. Remember, for optimal health: exercise regularly, reduce stress, eat healthy meals and try a MULTIPLE CHOICE from Nature’s Life.
