[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2397522, member: 41816"] You can do an internet search for ‘foods containing vitamin ....’ or mineral, or carbs... Many of them are low carb. I can remember being fascinated to learn that peppers and strawberries compete with oranges for amounts of vit C. and, like those posting above, I am extremely sceptical about generic multivitamins/minerals. They usually have minimal amounts of synthetic nutrients of low bioavailability. Having said that, I use specific vitamins and minerals, and think they have a very useful place. There are many of us who don’t utilise foods the same as others (digestive issues), or who have additional nutritional needs (smokers need extra Vit C), or whose medication changes digestion/absorption (metformin and vit B12). I’m very lucky to have people in my life who stand as living examples of what good nutrition can achieve. Both my parents have eaten fresh, simple, nutritious foods throughout their 60+yr marriage. They have also taken specific, targeted supplements for 20years or more. Now in their late 80s, their skin, hair and nails look [B][I]far[/I][/B] better than their contemporaries, who have thinner, papery skin, duller eyes, and less healthy hair. They have their own age-related health issues, but they could easily be mistaken for 20 years younger than they are. cultivating a healthy gut biome is also very important for good nutrition and overall health. ed.
