Daily Fit Tip: Take your vitamins!

Posted on Nov 29th 2006 6:00AM by Kristi Anderson

It's holiday season and no matter your fitness level, this end-of-year marathon is enough to sideline even the hardiest of health-conscious souls. As you arm yourself to conquer the holiday crowds and other seasonal stresses, you know to keep hydrated, cut back on sweets and get adequate sleep. But hey, it's hard to remember or even make it possible to do just those three simple things everyday -- whether it's December or July.

So, if there's just one thing you could do today to improve your health, don't forget to take your multi-vitamin.

Even though we're theoretically supposed to get our recommended vitamins and minerals from diet alone, the truth of the matter is that most Americans simply don't. But beyond that, taking a daily multi-vitamin helps to ensure optimal nutrition. That means not only are you getting your daily nutritional value of essential vitamins and minerals but you're optimizing the opportunity to go about your day with more vitality and energy, also helping to improve brain function and ward off colds and infections. Think of your multi-vitamin as your daily insurance formula, a simple health staple just like water.
