Vitamins in Nature are very essential for growth and health, but no healthy human needs any vitamins for disease free life unless the person develops a deficiency.
You should get enough of Vitamins and minerals for your body needs from a balanced healthy diet and safe exposure to the summer sun. Do not use vitamin pills unless it is absolutely required.
VITAMIN POISIONING
Many pills from large companies promise amazing results from vitamin supplements. Starting from dry skin, dry hair, fatigue, stress to long life are all promised, based on anecdotal testimony from individuals rather than hard scientific evidence. Some of the scientific studies did show the reverse. Two large studies involving more than 29,000 smoking men in two groups showed the controlled half that received vitamin supplements did have between 18-28% more cancers compared to the group that did not receive these vitamin supplements.
HEALTHY FOOD
You need to choose your food wisely to include ingredients in your diet to keep diseases like cancer and heart attacks away. Beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and the mineral selenium must be included in the daily diet and not through pills. Carrots, sweet potatoes, red pepper, pumpkin, tomatoes, spinach, greens, mangoes, peaches, and apricots are the main sources of the above anti-oxidants. Oranges, grapefruit, cauliflower, cabbage, frozen peas, nuts of different kinds, chickpeas, sweetcorn, soya, and wholegrain products are an added bonus in diet.
