'Health for Life: Vitamins and Your Diet'…Taking a vitamin a
day and moderately changing your diet can help you live a
longer and healthier life
NEW
YORK, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ --
Scientists have identified
nearly 40 vitamins and minerals that the body needs for
various tasks, from shoring up bones to bolstering the
immune system and repairing cellular damage. Instead of
delivering predictable effects at particular doses, they
team up in complex ways that we're just beginning to
understand.
Forgo
your daily orange for a vitamin C pill, and you will miss
out on other compounds that protect theheart, fight cancer
and combat infections, reports Correspondent Anne Underwood
in Newsweek's ongoing series, "Health For Life: Vitamins and
Your Diet," produced with Harvard Medical School. "You can't
just pop vitamin E over hot-fudge sundaes and expect to get
any benefit," says nutritionist Alice Lichtenstein of Tufts
University.
