U.S. RDA isn't enough: good nutrition
is impossible without taking vitamin supplements
If you're not taking nutritional supplements or eating superfoods
like chlorella and spirulina, there's no way you're getting adequate
nutrition. Today's foods are nutritionally depleted, and supplementing
your diet is the only way to meet even the basic U.S. RDA requirements,
not to mention going beyond them in order to achieve maximum health.
Truly, if you rely on foods alone, you'll never be as healthy
as you could be, especially if you eat any junk foods, cow's milk,
soft drinks, hydrogenated oils or other disease-causing foods
and beverages. If you enjoy this article, you may also be interested

Overview:
Pam
Mathis, a registered dietitian with offices in west Bradenton
and Lakewood Ranch, uses vitamins in her practice and supports
their use.
"It's
obtained from the sun, so people who are outside don't need more
of it," Mathis said.
But
people in different climates or who are indoors all the time should
take a supplement, she said.
Dietitians
go over nutritional assessment, lifestyle and personal food choices.
Estimated
costs for a dietitian's initial visit ranges from $80 to $100,
Mathis said.
Other
dietitians agree, including Susan Hall, a registered dietitian
in Bradenton.
"Vitamins
can't do everything; you need to eat healthy food to stay healthy,"
Hall said.
