Are food supplements effective?

Answers:

Hi M, many doctors argue that there is no need to consume health food supplements as long as you have a healthy lifestyle and eat a balanced diet. While this may be true, the fact is maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper diet is difficult to achieve by many people.

Supplements are a general term used for all kinds of vitamins, minerals, protein foods, energy bars and beverages. Using food supplements can be very beneficial for ensuring that you’re getting the right amount of nutrients for your body. However, it is also recommended that you first consult your doctor before taking anything, since an appropriate balance of nutrition and supplements must be achieved.

There are supplements for almost anything. There are supplements for when you need extra doses of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, or Iron in your diet. You can get some for improving your memory, or help you study for a big exam. Athletes regularly take protein supplements for developing their muscles. Whether you need them to boost your memory, strengthen your bone structure, or just to ensure that your body is getting all the nutrients that it needs, food supplements can be very valuable indeed.
