Why Do We Need Supplements: Nutritionists’ Perspective

In an ideal world, we wouldn’t need any supplements, our food would supply us with all the vitamins and minerals we need. But we don’t live in an ideal world, do we? According to nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, given the kind of food we eat (which is mostly adulterated) and the amount of stress we have in our daily lives, we need supplements for optimum functioning. In her book Don’t Lose Your Mind Lose Your Weight, she describes how including food supplements in your diet will do more good than harm.
