| | I just read that vitamins should be taken in food | | I spent 2 days of my vacation in my sister´s home. She is a scientist and I started to browse a magazine called New Scientist. It said that our body is not helped at all by the vitamin capsules we take everyday. Many don´t do any good and some have bad side effects. It also said that we must eat food that has those vitamins. As they also have fiber, the digestion is slow and our body grasps whatever vitamins we need.
So I decided to spend less on pills and more on veggies and fruit.
I asked my sister about the article and she explained it to me in lay words. She checked on the subject(isn´t she nice?) and sent me the link to a site for a diet for hypertension. Its called DASH: check it.
Do you take vitamin pills or try to eat a well balanced diet with enough veggies, fruits and fiber? Did a doctor gave you the vitamin pills you are taking or you just bought it over the counter and decided it was good for your health?
I did not ask any doctor and now I wont ask anyone but I´ll switch to healthier eating.[em]happy[/em] | |
