Before you buy Vitamins Part 2!
100% Hardcore Truth
By Chris Walker Fitness Professional
Vitamin and Mineral supplements do we need them?
Have you ever wondered about vitamins and mineral supplements? Do we even need them? Ok, well no. We don’t need anything besides food. We could get all our vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) from… well food. Are vitamin and mineral supplements beneficial, sure. Do I take them? Yep!
Supplement Companies
The supplement companies want you believe that you cannot do without them, that’s not true. After all, supplement companies extract vitamins and minerals from food so just eat balanced good nutrition. Aha! Eating balanced good nutrition is sometimes a difficult task in our busy society. That’s why I take them; just in case I don’t ingest my micronutrients from food.
Micronutrients
There I go with that word again micronutrients. Well, let’s examine that word micro-nutrients, micro- means small and nutrients are what we get from food. Notice in the breakdown of the word micronutrients, micro means small so we need micronutrients in small amounts.
Chances are if we eat sensibly, six meals a day every 3-31/2 hrs combining protein, starchy carbohydrates and fibrous carbohydrates at every meal we’ll get all the micronutrients we need because our body demands them in such small amounts.
Conclusion
I’m not at all saying don’t take vitamin and mineral supplements; I’m only trying to rid the belief that you cannot be healthy without them. I’m trying to rid the belief that we need to be dependant on any supplement for better health or superior muscle gains.
