In yesterdays Wall Street Journal, it was reported that Multivitamins are found to have little benefit. In reading further, the clinical trials focused on cognitive functions and cardiovascular health. You can find the report in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Four physicians even went so far as to say that the use of multivitamins are not justified and should be avoided.
As a person that does take multiple vitamins daily, I'm not about to stop. Granted, I don't use multivitamins. I put together a mix of C, D, E and A. More of an antioxidant formula, if you will. But I like my formula and I'm going to continue with this routine.
Personally, I'm not expecting my cognitive function to improve. Nor am I expecting my heart to be healthier because I down a few vitamins.
Scientific studies have shown that as we age, cognitive functions don't decline as drastically when we regularly exercise (versus those that don't exercise). Studies have also shown that exercise helps our cardiovascular health.
So doesn't it just make sense that a combination of exercise, clean eating and yes vitamins is what we should do daily for our overall health? Be it cognitive, cardiovascular, bone and muscular strength?
I encourage you to all draw your own conclusion, but I was compelled to share my two cents.........
