It struck me recently just how many adds there are on television selling vitamin and mineral supplements, the implication being that they are essential if you want to live a healthy life. Now I am not opposed to the use of these supplements but the key aim should be to get all your vitamins and minerals naturally by eating as healthy a diet as possible. Supplements should only be used if age, ill health or other such circumstances make it hard for you to get the right amount of vitamins and minerals naturally. They should not be seen as essential for good health.
