The best sources of any nutrients are fresh, whole foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. That said, it’s realistic to assume that most busy women don’t get enough of the nutrient-dense foods necessary for good health. As such, a vitamin supplement can round out -- but not substitute for -- a good diet. What’s more, taking a daily vitamin may confer some extra health benefits as well. According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, a daily multivitamin can reduce your risk of having a first heart attack. Other studies suggest daily supplements reduce risks of some chronic diseases and help you maintain better health overall.
But remember, more is not better! Take just the recommended daily amount and be sure to continue to eat healthy.
