Do we really need vitamins pills?

Back in my college time, we did a research on vitamins, the pills (or gels or gummies) precisely, to delve into whether do we really need vitamins supplements. And if yes, how much do we need and which one to be popped into the mouth.

Often, I heard parents reminding their children to eat their vitamins. When you make a visit to the pharmacies, you will be drown by the many varieties of brands and types of vitamins supplements.

I am not exceptional too. I do have vitamins supplement at home. Mainly multivitamins and Vitamin C. Oh yes, fish oil too.

Back to the ancient world, people rely on the natural ways - the plants - fruits and vegetables - to get their vitamins. And yes, of course plants are packed with all sorts of vitamins and nutrients for human's consumption.

Busy lifestyle, coupled with the advancement of technology, has caused the need to produce vitamins supplements, looking at the fact that people in general are lacking in vitamins and minerals.

We have a dietician who attends to my second son considering he is classified as 'failure to thrive', and in the course of discussion and exposition of a diet plan for my son, there is no mention of vitamins supplement. Well, we still give him multivitamin as that was what prescribed by the pediatric doctors ever since he was borned. It was just out of pure concern of his feeding habit, hence multivitamin is the solution.

But is it THE solution to the modern society? So that we could eat everything instant, combo our meals with vitamins pills and we call it a day?

Our dietician still encourages a healthy eating habit which includes sufficient vegetables and fruits, of course protein, carbohydrates and oil. I still think getting nutrients, vitamins and minerals from the raw source is the purest form of health. Of course, some had debated that the way we cook the vegetables has totally killed off all the vitamins.

I think taking vitamins supplement is fine as long as we don't overdo. And of course not at the expense of you not eating a proper diet at all, and then try to make it up by swallowing different types of vitamins pills to feel good. Sometimes, less is better. Vice verse, more is harmful due to the fact you body may need to work hard to eliminate the extra and unnecessary.

So before you consume any vitamins supplement, always consult a doctor or do your own research first. You wouldn't need to take Vitamin C pill if you are eating 5 times fruits of variety per day!

Above all, we all could use more of some special vitamins; vitamin T, vitamin L and vitamin C. Tender, Love and Care. For some, one vitamin S per day sums up their mood.

You are right. It is Vitamin Steem. HA! Cheers. 😀
