Is taking a multivitamin good for me?
Taking a multivitamin is always a wise choice when discussing your supplementation program, but an even better idea is incorporating exercise and healthy eating habits.
The main reason for taking a multivitamin on a regular basis is that most people simply do not have a healthy diet. However, if you subscribe to the Twinkie diet, there’s another really good reason to take vitamins, and that is exercise! Even more so if your exercise routine is rigorous in nature.
Since exercise is absolutely essential to living the healthy way of life, it can also be seen as a “good” stressor, which may produce free radicals. Free radicals are substances that are potentially damaging to the body at the cellular level. Hence, multivitamins contain antioxidants. Therefore, multivitamins can prevent free radicals from causing damage to your body’s tissues.
Okay, let’s keep it simple and look at it more logically; when you work out you can use up more of our body’s stored vitamins and nutrients. So, taking a multivitamin to replenish what’s depleted during exercise makes sense, especially if your diet is not consistent and does not follow a healthy framework.

The Metamorphosis
A film by Andrew Guida
Based upon the story of my life from a pathetic junk food loving couch potato to a fit, well adjusted, regular guy…
Well, let’s just say a work in progress!
Do you need a vitamin supplement?
Have You Ever Asked If You Need A Vitamin Supplement?
For starters, a well-balanced nutritional plan will provide all or most of the nutrients you need on a daily basis. However, if you do not eat a balanced diet on a regular basis, like many people, you should consider vitamin supplements in order to get the essential nutrients you need. Did you know there are close to 25 different vitamins and minerals that your body needs every day to function properly? Even though some of these vitamins and minerals are only needed in trace amounts, they are still considered essential nutrients. Furthermore, vitamins act as enhancing agents for other nutrients you consume.
Therefore, if you are not confident that your nutritional plan contains all of the vitamins and minerals you need, a vitamin supplement may be for you!
