Some people recommend taking herbal supplements and some people think it's best to get vitamins from food. There are valid reasons for both arguments. Both groups of people have good reasons for thinking the way that they do. First let's go over getting vitamins from food. The honest truth is that it's difficult to eat a healthy balanced diet of vitamins day in and day out. There is junk food all around us.
Then even the stuff we are supposed to consume daily like green vegetables have their minerals destroyed when pesticides get used in the growing process. When vegetables are shipped they are exposed to the air which cancels out some of the vitamins as well. Lastly as we cook food the nutrients get destroyed as well. Plus various ways that we can cook food an eliminate some of the helpful vitamins and minerals.
