Our body is a remarkable work of art, and function. It can take tons of beating and pounding, and still live to see the next day. Every day, our bodies are subjected to a lot of stress, but I’m always amazed that at the end of the day, I come out quite alright. Anyway, my health is something I take seriously, although it can be a pain in the butt to keep it in tip top condition.
That’s why I take vitamins. Life is stressful these days, and so everything helps, especially what you eat. Multivitamins are all advanced nutrients, and so are substances or compounds that boost the health of the body, for example, phyto-chemical compounds in tablet form, or Coenzyme Q10. But there are reasons for, and against, taking advanced nutrients.
I know many people take vitamins because they know they aren’t eating like they should, but even some of them are taking a little too much. When you take too much nutrients, the liver needs to work overtime, and rid the body of what it doesn’t need, or can’t use. This can also wear down the liver a little at a time. In the case of vitamins, if the body doesn’t need a particular vitamin, it is flushed out of the system more often than not. Some vitamins don’t get flushed out easily, especially fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A, D, and E. (more…)
