Vitamins, Multivitamin Formulas, & Andrew Weil's Newsletter

Vitamins & Healthy Living

Having the food production and distribution system that we now have means that fewer people go hungry, but it also means that a lot of what's filling our bellies doesn't contain enough nutrients for optimal healthy living. That means taking vitamin supplements is a very good idea.

Eating as many fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and whole grains as possible helps too. In earlier times, those were the main elements of people's day-to-day diets. Subscribing to a newsletter, such as Andrew Weil's, Dr. Susan Lark's or Dr. David Williams' is a great way to learn more about vitamins and healthy living. Each of them sell 30-day supplies of multivitamin formulas that you can order online or by phone. Some formulas are made just for women, some for athletes, some for seniors and some for certain medical conditions.

Some vitamins will agree with you more than others. The thing to do is read up on them a little bit, try some and see if your overall energy and resistance to illness increases.

NOTE: It is possible to overdose on some vitamins, so it is advisable to not exceed the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for any particular vitamins that you are taking.
