Undoubtedly, it's important to start with a healthy diet. A profusion
of in-depth studies have consistently shown that whole grains, legumes, fish,
fruits, vegetables, and vegetable oils have the potential to protect your body
against cancer and heart disease. Some essential nutrients are packed into
every food group, and certain foods such as flour, and cereal, are fortified
with specific nutrients. It is also true that even the best supplements cannot
encompass all the biologically active compounds abundant in a well-stocked
pantry.
Another advantage of a healthy diet through natural foods is
that it's difficult to overdose on vitamins and minerals. When people take
several vitamin and mineral supplements, it's easier to ingest potentially harmful
amounts of some nutrients.
