Should I Take a Multivitamin

Many people don’t think that they need to take a vitamin supplement because, after all, the human body did not evolve to need supplements.  As long as you eat a balanced diet, you can get everything that your body needs, right?

While it is certainly true that people living a thousand years ago did not have multivitamins, they also did not have the thousands of tons of toxic chemicals being pumped into their environment every year.  They were not exposed to a constant man-made electromagnetic field from power lines and cell phones.  They did not eat highly processed foods that contained artificial colors, flavors and preservatives.  They were not sedentary; and they were not under constant stress at work and at home.  Our bodies were simply not designed for a fast-paced, high-stress, highly processed lifestyle that most of us lead today.

The reality is that we need to give our body some help in order to stay healthy in our world today.  That’s where the supplements come in.  Supplements help to ensure that your body gets all of the extra vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and probiotics necessary to function the way it should so that we can feel good and function at our best.
