Healthy Living: A Healthy Person's Guide to Vitamins & Minerals
Ideally, daily nutritional needs should be met through healthy eating, but the typical diet does not always supply all the vitamins and minerals a body needs. So even in healthy people, multivitamins and other supplements may help prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies and they can also provide more nutrients than diet alone, which may help to protect against or manage certain diseases. The list from the top of the Index to the left gives the daily optimum amounts of nutrients that might benefit healthy people.
Do I really need vitamins and herbs?
Even if you eat healthy, you could probably benefit from taking vitamin supplements. Certain vitamins help protect the body against the damage caused by environmental factors, such as the sun, pollution, and pesticides and other toxins, that can lead to illness, disease, and aging.
Many herbal remedies have been used traditionally to help prevent or treat diseases, and science has supported a wide range of uses.
Where do I begin?
Before making any change in your health protocol, it is a good idea to check in with your doctor, especially if you are pregnant or have a health condition. Next, it is important to have clear health goals when looking for supplements. For example:
- A healthy 20-year-old might simply be looking for dietary insurance.
- Someone in his or her 30s might want to manage stress.
- Postmenopausal women might be concerned about osteoporosis.
- Men over 50 might be thinking about prostate health.
Each of these will benefit from a slightly different supplement protocol. Talk with a knowledgeable doctor, letting your health goals and history guide your research and help you determine the herbs and supplements that will be safest and most effective for you.
Are vitamins and minerals always safe?
Although most supplements have good safety records, each person's body will react differently depending on his or her unique physiology as well as on any other medications, herbs, and supplements also being taken. In addition, certain combinations of medications, herbs, and nutrients can potentially cause depletions or interactions. For that reason it is important to check with your health practitioner.
Are vitamins and herbs safe for children?
Although many experts believe that children can safely benefit from vitamins and other supplements, it is important to consult your family practitioner before giving children vitamins, herbs, or other supplements. See Children and Supplement Safety for more information.
