Vitamins, Supplements, Nutrients
Our priority to get nutrients is from kitchen itself instead of from medicines, meaning food and our diet are first source for what our body and health wants. However, with altered and hectic lifestyle, ambient and superficial stress, pollution, and various nutritional or elementary deficiencies due to our unknown neglect, or due to compromised quality of agriculture produces or our food choices, we have growing need to supplement the nutritional deficiencies. At the same time, due to various factors that make supplementation necessary, for eg. pregnancy, menopause, or even chronic conditions.
Periodic health reviews suggest that vitamin deficiencies are commonly linked to chronic diseases, and supplementation is necessary and helpful. Even a complete diet may struggle to provide with the nutrients we need, when we need them. And that’s where supplements or multivitamins turn to be a sensible option, side by side.
For those curious and who are in need, a well worked out and controlled, regular intake of multivitamin may be necessary for a good foundation for your health. It is protective too when we’re experiencing stress, sleeping poorly, or not getting regular exercise. It is observed even with a good or “balanced” diet, these issues often make it tough for your body to absorb the nutrients properly.
But with markets and hypes spruced up with so many vitamin, supplements and mineral combos and their corresponding claims, how do we decide well to look for what when opting in for a multivitamin?
It is really not that much difficult to determine and plan your multivitamin list, its intake, dosage and duration. We can make a nice and easy assessment and re-plan our food selection, lifestyle and diet. We have to review the following essentials, and set ourselves out again.
- Vitamin B-12
- Vitamin D
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Iron
- Zinc
- Iodine
- Folate
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids
We along with bringing such foods to our platter in a balanced proportion at very first, can look for supplements and multivitamins through external sources such as pills, capsules, powders or syrups, simultaneously to regain and maintain the healthy body, healthy mind, and healthy spirit!
