The fresh food you eat is filled with nutrients yet many times we do not get enough nutrients from the diets and some even show a deficiency of vitamins. Many times, there could be an issue with nutrient absorption and hence in some cases supplements become essential and critical.
While my goal as a nutritionist is to give my clients a diet with all nutrients in it, but if they show certain symptoms of hair fall, lack of energy, pigmentation, etc… then they may need some help in getting their daily vitamin intake from supplements.
Give UR nutritionist honest feedback. Feedback helps me and other nutritionists understand what is working in favour of their health.
I would definitely recommend for men and women to take vitamins only when it is necessary or prescribed by a medical professional. But, don’t forget to be mindful of the varied requirements depending on your age, sex and UR body’s needs.
There is no thumb rule for a prescription; it is very individualistic, as it keeps changing over time with age. UR dietary preference also plays a major role in deciding UR daily intake, whether you are a vegetarian, non-vegetarian or a vegan.
Good food sources of important nutrients | |

Don’t change UR diet abruptly. Consult a nutritionist before making any changes to your daily diet which can affect your overall health.
Give UR nutritionists honest feedback. This helps me and other nutritionists understand what is working in favour of their health.
Be mindful of UR body. Give your body time to adapt to a diet, don’t go on unsustainable diets to lose weight or follow a trend. This can cause more harm than good.
