The Benefits of Vitamins Do They Really Work

There seems to be so much controversy today about the benefits of vitamins and whether they are truly beneficial to us or not. Some people say they do us good while others say they do nothing or very little.

What we do know is that we can’t get all of the nutrition that we need through food alone. What we also know is that vitamins alone can’t do it. So what do we do? Let’s be realistic here, nobody eats five to six servings of fruits and vegetables a day. It just doesn’t happen. Most of us are lucky if we can fit in one or two servings of fruit or vegetables a day.

To eat the recommended daily amount you’d pretty much have to be grazing all day long. Sounds funny, but true. Come on now , we all lead busy lives and a lot of us don’t even sit down to a home cooked meal except for maybe for three or four days out of the week.

So how do we make up for what our bodies are lacking? Vitamins of course. Now vitamins can’t do the work all on their own, that’s why they are called supplements. They are specifically made for that purpose, to supplement what you may be lacking in your daily diet. But, you have to help by eating sensibly and by trying to eat more fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Vitamins are not miracle pills, but they are essential in making up what may be lacking in our diets and to help keep us healthy.
