Are supplements of vitamins, antioxdants and minerals helpful.Can I get these benifits just by eating food.?
Eating food rich in vitamins and minerals definitely will meet your daily requirements. The reason why supplements are suggested is if you have a relatively low percentage of that mineral in your body right now. For example, if you are sick and you have colds, it is suggested that you boost your immune system by drinking vitamin c supplements or if you are prone to osteoporosis due to old age, it is suggested that you take calcium with vit D for better absorption. But if you are feeling fine , eating vitamin and mineral rich foods would suffice.
