For many people who don’t eat all of their fruits and vegetables and skimp on whole grains and other important foods, taking a multivitamin supplement is invaluable. It certainly helps to fill in the gaps of an unhealthy diet.
Another twist to taking multivitamins has just come out. In addition to the nutrient benefits, now there is a new study from China showing evidence that people who take multivitamins have an easier time losing weight than people who don’t take them (Read the full article in the July/August 2010 edition of Eating Well magazine).
Why? They’re not certain, but it is posible that our bodies know when we are not eating well and not getting the necessary nutrients to function properly. When this is recognized by our bodies it stimulates the appetite so you can eat what you need. If in turn you are getting what you need, then your appetite is lowered. A multivitamin may trigger the appetite control center to be down regulated so you are not as hungry. This translates into fewer calories consumed and weight loss.
Just one more good reason to eat right and supplement with absorbable products.
