Vitamins & Minerals: Food First! It is important to focus on food for your vitamins and minerals, as food not only includes these beneficial nutrients, but also has fiber, antioxidants, protein, healthy fats, and good-for-you carbohydrates! All of these work together to promote health, something you don t get from just taking a supplement. Also, for the most part, you can get all of the vitamins and minerals you need if you choose better-for-you foods! Fun fact: Did you know Vitamin C is water-soluble? What does that mean? It means that whenever you intake over what you need (i.e. those 1000% of your daily need supplements), you essentially urinate out. That s expensive urine!
