87/365 Supplement Yourself with Daily Vitamins

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

My sister and I are known to feud over certain things: The Big Bang Theory vs. How I Met Your Mother, Dave Matthews Band vs. Broadway musicals, daily vitamins vs. regular exercise, you know, the usual sisterly qualms.

We know that it is important to eat a nutrient rich diet. Most everything we consume should be beneficial to us in some way due to its intrinsic nutrition properties. However, this nutrient rich diet is easier said than done. Though we daily strive to get all our vitamins and minerals from foods we eat, we may not actually hit our recommended daily allowance (RDA).

The solution to this is taking your daily vitamin. Men, women, and children all have different recommendations so be aware of this if/when you purchase yours. Vitamins are meant to supplement your diet not to excuse you from eating healthily. It is possible to overdose on vitamins. Vitamins A, E, and K are fat-soluble. This means that you can't flush them out of your system if you have too many of them by drinking water, like vitamins B12, C, and D. Overdosing could result in death.

Daily vitamins are a great way to ensure that you are getting all the nutrients you need to complete your balanced diet. They are supplements, not replacements.

In health,

Lauren
