Should I take a vitamin tablet or some kind of dietary supplement every day? Can I get everything I need from the foods I eat?

Answer: Rather than “yes” or “no,” the best answer is “maybe.” Review studies have not shown that taking daily multivitamin supplements will prevent any chronic disease. However, taking supplements will help ensure you are getting enough of nutrients that may be missing from your diet.

Bring on the fruits and vegetables! The good Lord has provided man with wonderful, delicious, healthy and clean foods. The less we process them the better! Lean meats are a great source of protein and should be consumed sparingly with a thankful heart.

Peace & Blessings,
