The Health Benefits of Vitamins and Minerals

Updated on January 28, 2017

Keeping Your Body Healthy

Our bodies never rest, our bodies are still functioning and running, even while we sleep. Which is why we should keep them strong, by filling them full of healthy vitamins and minerals, that are essential for keeping us alive.

You can get such a multitude of vitamins and minerals by eating a healthy diet, which includes whole foods like, grass-fed meats, fresh fruits, and veggies. When you get your vitamins and minerals from whole, natural foods, you usually don't have to take supplements.

However, If you are not able to meet your daily vitamin, and mineral recommendations, for whatever reason. Then you should consult your physician, to see if they think you should take a supplement, to help you reach your required vitamin, mineral intake.

I Am Not A Doctor!!!

Please consult a physician before taking any of these Vitamins, just because they have worked for me doesn't mean they will for you, and they might even be dangerous.

Some prescription drugs, don't mix well with Vitamins, and there are even some cases where a certain Vitamin, may harm you, depending on what kind of illness you may have.
