Despite all recommendations, only 13% of men and 15% of women eat five portions or more of fruit and vegetables per day.
In other words, 87% of men and 85% of women are not obtaining the essential micronutrients that the government recommends. In fact, the average daily intake of fruit and vegetables among adults is fewer than three portions (2.7 for men, 2.9 for women).
It is a known fact that dietary nutritional deficiency is a problem and we simply cannot obtain all the micronutrients we need with a standard modern-day diet of up to 2,000 calories per day, no matter what we eat. Doctors and researchers suggest that most modern food pyramids should contain supplements as an integral part of the support of a typical diet.
There are certain groups of people for whom a daily multivitamin has always been highly recommended (vegetarians, vegans, those on a diet, those who omit food groups or who are intolerant/allergic to certain foods, and those who miss meals or who have erratic eating habits). But should that extend to the 85-86% of adults who aren’t getting five or more portions of fresh fruit and vegetables per day? It seems so. Increasingly, we are facing a dietary nutritional deficiency epidemic as our society has turned to convenience and processed foods, snacking and TV dinners to fit in with our busy modern lifestyles. Hence the rise in heart disease and stroke rates, the incidence of cancer rise, the obesity and diabetes rates that we see soaring.
A multivitamin will never be a panacea, but as a nutritional insurance policy to accompany our diets (however good we think our diet is), it is highly recommended. The USA Food and Drug Administration now recommend a multivitamin for all adults.
For the human body to perform at its maximum potential, it must be fed a vast and complex array of vital nutrients. Becoming deficient in just one of these essential vitamins or minerals breaks down the metabolic pathway that produces optimum efficiency and performance declines. Not good! Daily consumption of a high-potency multivitamin/multimineral formula may help ensure the presence of essential cofactors necessary for thousands of metabolic reactions.
We underestimate the importance of them. People think it is useless to take them. But here is something very important. If your body is deficient in just one of the essential vitamins and minerals over a thousand chemical and enzymatic processes in your body could be impaired. Each and every vitamin and mineral is responsible for thousands of biochemical reactions, including the formation of hormones. Bottom line? If you don't use a good multivitamin and mineral formula you will never reach your fullest potential. Everyone should take there multivitamins everyday if they want to keep the doctor away.
