Eating a healthy diet and taking vitamins and supplements is important for good health, advises Dr. Oz. Three leading recommendations of Dr. Oz are multi-vitamins, vitamin C supplements, and vitamin D supplements.
Multi-vitamins. Dr. Oz recommends taking a multi-vitamin everyday. “It is best to break the vitamin in two and take half in the morning and the other half in the evening,” said Dr. Oz. According to Dr. Oz this will help the body to absorb the vitamins better, and reduce the chances of getting an upset stomach which often occurs when taking vitamins. The benefits of taking multi-vitamins are an increase in energy, memory support, and strengthening of the immune system.
Vitamin C. Vitamin C is known for the ability to boost the immune system, which is why it is a favorite of Dr. Oz. Vitamin C is a rich source of antioxidants that supports the health of the eyes, bones, and skin. Vitamin C is also beneficial in the fight against heart disease and urinary tract infections. Moreover, vitamin C helps the body absorb other important nutrients. Dr. Oz recommends taking a daily vitamin C supplement, or drinking a glass of fresh orange juice each day.
Vitamin D. Dr. Oz believes that vitamin D may actually be more effective than vitamin C in strengthening the immune system. Vitamin D supports bone health and helps reduce inflammation in the body. More importantly, vitamin D may help prevent certain types of cancers. Spending 15 minutes in natural sunlight will help increase the body’s level of vitamin D. Additionally, there are plenty of foods fortified with vitamin D. Dr. Oz believes that many people need to take a daily vitamin D supplement.
The best way to meet the body's nutritional needs is by eating a healthy, well-balanced diet. People who do not eat properly may benefit from extra multi-vitamins and supplements. For more information on recommended vitamins and supplements, visit the Dr. Oz show.
