Question:
Does multi vitamins have any effect??
i'm gonna turn 19 this july..so i was wondering will it be useful to take multi vitamins..rather than eating everytihng in the food pyramid??
Answers:
Yes, think of it as insurance.
Especially if you are a woman of childbearing age, you need 400-800 mcg of folate/folic acid a day, hard to get it all from food. This helps prevent neural tube defects in pregnancy (planned or not).
Do eat well, but only when you are hungry. Lots of beans, veggies, whole grains and some fruit/nuts...good stuff. The food pyramid is a guide and a serving size, IMO, is different for different people.
