Vitamins  & Supplements Do you Need Dietary Supplements? Nutritional Insurance in a Bottle. By Michael T. Murray, ND*     Many North Americans are not satisfied defining "healthy" as simply "free from disease." To them being healthy means that they are full of vitality, energy and enthusiasm. Some doctors say you can meet all of your nutritional needs through diet alone, the reality is that most people do not. Why take vitamin and mineral supplements? In this day and age, people simply can't afford not to. Stress, environmental pollution, second-hand cigarette smoke and many other factors increase nutritional requirements, especially for antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, selenium and the carotenes. Plus, there is evidence that optimal intake of essential nutrients enhances the body's healing ability and overall physiological functions. The benefits of broad-spectrum nutritional supplementation are only now starting to appear in scientific studies. Yet it is quite apparent that taking a multiple vitamin and mineral may prevent osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease, as well as help boost immune function and increase brain function. There are 13 vitamins and 14 minerals you need to ingest in proper amounts each day for your tissues and organs to do their jobs. There is evidence that people taking nutritional supplements may have a lowered risk for heart disease, cataracts, Alzheimer's disease and even cancer. It is unlikely that a person would actually feel any benefit of supplementation in these instances. Nonetheless, they are definitely reaping the benefits in the long term. *   *Michael T.
