The Importance of a Multivitamin

Posted March 8, 2010

I want to start this post out by stating that EVERYONE needs a multivitamin.

It does not matter how healthy you may think you eat, you need to be taking a quality multivitamin. The multivitamin that you take also has to be more than just an simple one-a-day vitamin. There is no value in one a day vitamins, for they leave you undernourished at the end of the day. You need to take one with breakfast and one with dinner. It is important to take your vitamins with food for it will help with the digestion.

In fitness, the multivitamin is considered to be the foundation.

It does not matter what your goal is, be it fat loss or muscle gain, without the multivitamin it will be a lot harder to reach your goal.

When trying to lose fat you are obviously going to cut down on the amount of food that you eat. When you cut down on food intake, being that you get your nutrients from food, you cut back on your nutrient levels as well. Now add in exercise. Exercise requires more nutrients. If you are exercising and your body does not have the amount of nutrients needed for the workload your body will pull nutrients right out of your muscle (nutrients are stored in the body’s muscle tissue) which is exactly what you do not want. This will cause you to burn muscle instead of fat, giving you a total negative result.

If you take a good multivitamin your body will feed off of that and preserve your muscle tissue while burning fat.
