Simply put, there is no replacement to healthy foods. While research shows taking a daily multivitamin does not cause harm, it also shows very little, if any, benefit; especially when compared to studies of people eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. In addition, multivitamins do not contain fiber, (naturally found in vegetables), which independently from the vitamins, minerals and specific antioxidants in each, helps to protect against many diseases and keep our intestines active. Reasons to take a multivitamin: 🍍Deficiency of a specific vitamin/mineral (Ask your doctor if you suspect of one) 🍍Following a restrictive diet for medical reasons (ex: post-gastric surgery) 🍍Those with malabsorption conditions (ex: celiac disease, Chron’s) 🍍Pregnancy #TipTuesday Takeaway: Skip the pills, save the money and work with a registered dietitian that can help you find ways to enjoy/add more vegetables to your daily meals!
