To help your body be as healthy as it can be, the best place to start is with a healthy diet and plenty of physical activity, and dietary supplements should be included as part of the recipe for good health. In particular, the demands of everyday life may prevent us from eating exactly as we should, and that is one reason that healthcare professionals may recommend nutritional supplements —to “fill the gaps” in those areas where our diet may fall short.

Also, researchers are finding that some important vitamins and minerals may help protect against certain chronic diseases, in amounts that are difficult or impossible to obtain through diet alone.

Supplements to consider:
When it comes to filling nutrient gaps, a good multivitamin with minerals is king. In fact, this survey also found that almost three quarters of physicians (72 %) said it is a good idea for patients to take a multivitamin. Think of it as an inexpensive, reliable insurance policy for good health. But other supplements can play a role too, including omega-3 from fish oils, extra vitamin D, and antioxidant products such as green tea and Coenzyme Q-10.
