Vitamins - Energy Supplements
If you've taken the time to walk into a health shop and look
at the vitamin supplements that are available, chances are
you left with your head spinning. The range of choices is
incredibly confusing. Plus you've probably been told that
eating a nutritionally balanced meal three times a day
should give you all the vitamins and minerals you need. For
most of us, however, that just isn't realistic. We work, we
have families, we have other commitments, sometimes we just
want to have some fun - and planning and preparing a
sensible menu for the week is not always possible.
It's true, though, that you should never use vitamins
instead of aiming for a good nutritional intake. Getting
your vitamins and minerals from fresh foods is a much better
option. A balanced diet with plenty of calcium, fats,
proteins, carbohydrates and fiber, derived from a variety of
different foods, is what you should be aiming for. But if
you know that you're falling short sometimes, or perhaps
have specific health concerns, then vitamin supplements may
be a good choice for you to make.
Nowadays lots of foods are enriched with extra vitamins and
minerals. If you check the information on the packaging of
breads, pastas and cereals, you will get an idea of the
recommended daily allowance of the vitamins and minerals it
contains, and how much of that daily allowance you're likely
to get in one serving of that food. Take calcium as an
example. Calcium is an extremely important mineral for
women, both for good health today and to avoid osteoporosis
later in life. It's generally recommended that women should
consume 1200-1500 mcg of calcium daily. You need to get this
from a variety of sources - most supplements only supply
around 30-50% of this daily requirement. So you still need
to eat cheese, yoghurt, milk and ice cream (my favorite!) to
make sure you eat sufficient calcium daily.
Vitamin D is another interesting example. It's possible to
absorb Vitamin D through the skin by being out in the sun.
That sounds easy, but it's not possible for everyone to
spend the required amount of time outdoors every day. If you
live a long way north, or perhaps in a climate where sunburn
is a major issue, then you may find a Vitamin D supplement
is beneficial.
Of course, it's important for you to gain an understanding
of exactly which vitamins and minerals your body needs, so
that you can determine for yourself whether you need vitamin
supplements, and if so, which ones. Take the time to read
about how certain vitamin deficiencies affects your health,
and the ways in which you can identify a possible
deficiency. You can find a lot of useful information on the
internet, but you can also check out your local health shop,
consult a nutritionist or perhaps even a naturopath. Make
the effort, because you'll feel much better once you do.
