================== ARTICLE START ==================

The body needs a minimum amount of vitamins and minerals each

day to remain healthy and function properly. A balanced diet

normally supplies sufficient vitamins. However, serious

disorders can still develop if the diet does not meet your

body’s needs. Symptoms of a deficiency in vitamins and minerals

usually appear when the lack is already in a relatively advanced

level.

For instance, people who do not have enough of the vitamins A,

B1 and B2 suffer from recurring tiredness, mental or emotional

disturbances, loss of appetite and chapped lips, among others.

The common causes of these vitamin deficiencies include poor

eating habits, alcoholism, emotional stress, the improper

absorption of vitamins and minerals (usually due to liver or

intestinal disorders), the intake of medicines that interfere

with the ingestion of vitamins and lack of exposure to

sunlight.

If you constantly feel sluggish and suffer from chronic

health-related inconveniences, you might be short of the

vitamins your body needs to function properly. Doctors will

usually prescribe supplements that address the lack of vitamins

and minerals in the body. However, also keep in mind not to

overdo it, as an excess of vitamins can also be harmful.

Do you still need to take vitamins even if you maintain a

healthy diet? The answer is yes. Proper food consumption should

be accompanied by the right vitamins and minerals. Vitamins

serve as buffers in the event that your diet does not meet your

daily requirements fully. Surely you can’t calculate how much

vitamins and minerals your body takes in with every meal you

consume. And while most people take vitamins to avoid common

deficiency-related diseases, not all products available cater

to what your body requires. There are those that still lack

what you need.

The key components you must look for in a supplement are the

vitamins B6, B12, D, E and folic acid. Aside from being dietary

supplements, these so-called B vitamins have been known to help

combat certain types of cancer and heart ailments. While there

remains no hard-lined link between cancer and a daily intake of

B vitamins, studies that suggest their preventive powers have

helped raise the importance of daily doses of vitamins and

minerals into our system.

Standard RDA-level vitamins can easily be bought over the

counter at a reasonable price. Yes, the old belief that a

proper diet is enough to keep you going has become a myth. It

is time to invest in our health. Whether we admit it or not, we

need vitamins. Sure, it does lead to added costs; but when we

really think about it, vitamins are probably the cheapest type

of insurance readily available in the market right now. Who are

we to say no?
