Vitamins
If you don't like taking vitamins, ask your doctor or pharmacist about getting liquid vitamin
drops. These can be added to any beverage and are especially tasty with fruit juice. The
juice essentially hides the flavor and your taste buds won't even know you've taken a vitamin.
Eating well and taking supplemental vitamins are keys to maintaining one's health. For one to
appreciate what "eating well" means, they must understand that having a well-balanced diet
is very simple, but also very important for one's physical and mental well-being. The human
body requires the proper mix of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, in order
to function. Food is fuel for any animal and having a good understanding of what is good for
one's body is important. Lean meats, fruits and vegetables and grains are all important and
all of these need to be items in one's daily diet.
When it comes to nutrition for fruits and vegetables - raw is better! Fruits and vegetables are
full of healthy vitamins and nutrients, however the more you cook them, the more of these
nutrients you lose. Fast cooking such as sautéing is better than boiling! However, to get the
full benefit of your fruits and vegetables, learn to enjoy them raw.
To get the most nutritional value out of vegetables, be careful to not overcook them. A light
steaming keeps vitamins in broccoli, carrots and other veggies better than a boil that will
wash nutrients out. They'll also be much more appealing prepared this way, with a satisfying
crunch to them instead of a soggy mush-like texture.

professional. Check further into other nutrients and supplements with your physician.
