Why Vitamins Are Essential For Optimal Health

Yesterday, I published another article on the Internet entitled: Why Vitamins Are Essential For Optimal Health. In this article, I discuss all of the 13 essential vitamins in detail. I give the dietary sources of each of these vitamins and I talk about the risks of toxicity from consuming any given vitamin in excess.

Of particular interest is the video that is included with my latest article entitled: "The Truth About Vitamins and Supplements - Clinical Nutrition." In this video, Dr. Vincent Bellonzi, D.C., C.C.N., gives a 3 minute talk about whether or not to include supplements in your diet.

Although many doctors advise that you should eat a healthy and balanced diet, the truth is that most people just can't consume all of the essential vitamins in enough quantity on a daily basis. As we age, our needs for certain vitamins and minerals increases. We have a whole host of issues to contend with, such as bone loss, heart health, skin aging, eyesight degeneration, memory difficulties, osteoarthritis, among many other health concerns.

During certain times in our lives, it is simply critical to consume a daily vitamin supplement. One example is pregnancy where a daily folic acid supplement has clearly been shown to reduce the risk of certain birth defects, such as spina bifida.

My goal has always been to assist as many women as possible to live long, healthy and fulfilling lives. The more informed you are, the more you are able to positively impact the lives of those that you love. I hope that you will find this article to be informative and helpful.
