Yes, we can get a lot of multi-vitamins from our foods but the truth is we don't. By not eating enough fruits and vegetables, we miss essential nutrients, which can lower our risk for heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other health conditions. Dr. Harden recommends 8 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. By taking multivitamins you are creating an insurance policy, a daily guarantee to ensure your body gets the vitamins and minerals it needs. It can make up for the shortfalls that happen when you don’t get what you need through food.
