    • Very informative your post. I think our body needs the body nutrients but the problem is we just don't know how to do it and sometimes we just ignored it. With this informative post, this really help to us.

    • Those are some good tips to follow. I always try to incoperate my daily good with a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins etc. I k is how healthy eating is good for your body, so I try to keep up with routine. Though sometimes it's hard especially when you have people in the house who will want to eat something totally different from what you are used to it what you want to cook. Like there are people who will eat the same good every single day and when you try to change the diet that would lament and say that good will not satisfy them or they don't like that type of food. How can you convince them that it is good for them. And these are the same kinds of people who don't take juices or tea that has milk neither are they keen on taking water after meals. Honestly I don't know how some people survive without taking water the whole day it buffles me.

    • Yes, vegetables are full of vitamins not minerals. Human body makes just scan vitamins when we take vegetables as vitamins A B C D E ....these vitamins are most important for human body if our body is lack of vitamins our great and small intestines will not work properly and we will have a lot of problem.

Therefore, the nutrition industry has made supplements available that can boost the vitamin content in your body.

      A multivitamin is often considered one of the best options for improving the overall balance of your body, particularly if you have a job or a lifestyle that frequently causes you to miss meals, eat at strange times, or eat the same food very often.
