The down side of supplemenis five Het igfullesls

(NC)—Too many health-conscious
people turn to supplements to make
sure they get their daily nutrients or to
stoke up on the latest talked about
vitamin. In certain cases, a supplement
might be recommended. Generally,
however, it's best to get your nutrients
from foods.

Why? First, you can easily forget
about eating well when you rely on
supplements to meet your nutrient needs.
That's just human nature. But supple- 15 nutrients, Milk is our major dietary

But, we don't know why. Those vitamins

are thought: to play a role but other
nutrients or substances may be of equal
or greater importance. And, their pre-
cise balance in fruits and vegetables
might also be very important...
something we simply can't replicate.

So if you choase supplements over real

foods, you might eventually find o1t
you missed the boat.

Some people argue that foods these
days are depleted of their nutrients so
that it’s hard to get all the needed
nutrients from foods alone. Nonsense!
Foods still rernain your best allies. With
a balanced diet, you can mect all
your basic nutrient needs and Canada’s
Food Guide-to Healthy Eating shows
you how, simply.
