Vitamins

 Now that I have your attention, I would like to tell you about the importance of proper vitamin supplementation.  

The American government has shown that 0% of the population gets the recommended 100% dose of the 10 essential nutrients in their diet.  These RDA standards were set as the bare minimum needed to ward off disease.  They were actually calculated by depriving people of vitamins till the point of disease, and then setting the limit right above the disease level.  

Many nutrition experts would agree that the RDA is grossly understating our body’s need for vitamins.  With today’s active lifestyles and eat on the run meals, it is more important than ever to supplement our diets with vitamins.  But, all vitamins are not created equally.  Many vitamins are a waste of money and are never absorbed into the body.  

In Tacoma Washington, 250,00 pounds of undigested vitamins are taken out of the sewers every six weeks.  The solution is not to find the cheapest multivitamin at a large retail store and take one a day.  Most likely you will literally be flushing your money down the toilet.  It is not only important to obtain a good quality multivitamin, but many people require supplementation of other vitamins and minerals not found in multivitamins. 

Antioxidants are particularly important for heart and skin health, and well-being.  Antioxidants include vitamins A, C, E and are vital for maintaining the heart and arteries.  The B vitamins are essential for energy and metabolism and a good B vitamin can give you a boost of energy for the day.  Minerals are also an important part of supplementation.  Calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, copper, iodine, are all an important part of your diet.  However, men and women have different needs in regard to mineral intake. 

For example, men should not take iron supplementation, while it is good idea for women to supplement especially while menstruating.  It is also important to look for fillers in the vitamins that help inhibit the bodies absorption.  Common fillers include cellulose and starch.  It is important to consider your needs individually and find a supplement that works for you.
