Should I take a daily multivitamin and if so, which one?

In general, if you eat a balanced and healthy diet, with four servings of fruits, five servings of vegetables, and plenty of grains, you should get most of the nutrients you need through your food. However, most of us have busy lives and hectic schedules, which means that it's not always easy to eat a balanced and nutrient-rich diet. In fact, of the more than 15 million people who have reported their diets on our website, fewer than 80,000 -- less than 1% -- get the right amounts of vitamins D, B6, B12, and folate and the minerals calcium and magnesium from food alone.

Taking a daily multivitamin can help pick up the slack. We'd choose a multivitamin without added iron and one that has less than 2,500 IU of vitamin A and beta-carotene, combined. If the only time you get close to fruits is when your in-laws visit, you'd even be wise to take a multivitamin twice a day; several vitamins dissolve in water and you urinate them out before your body has a chance to benefit fully from them.

Other good candidates for a two-a-day regimen are calcium (because your body can't absorb more than 600 mg at a time) and vitamin C (because doses larger 500 mg at once can be toxic).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
