Vitamins, Supplements And The Importance Of Water In A Healthy Diet


If you are a person who is interested in developing an
appropriate diet for health living, there are
three items that you should include in your overall eating
regimen:
-- vitamins
-- nutritional supplements
-- water
The foundation of a diet for healthy living needs to be
appropriate food choices.

You need to eat an appropriate balance of
fresh fruits, vegetables and low-fat meat products. You need to
avoid food items that contain trans-fats as well as refined,
processed sugars.
Once you have established the appropriate menus for your overall
plan for healthy living, you will want to consider how vitamin and
other nutritional supplements can support your food selections and
choices. It is vital to keep in mind that vitamins and nutritional
supplements are not designed to replace healthy food choices.


Rather, these products -- as the moniker "supplement" indicates --
are designed to supplement your basic, healthy food choices and
selections.
Along with proper food choices and the addition of vitamins and
nutritional supplements, drinking an appropriate amount is
absolutely necessary to maintaining an appropriate weight and to
pursuing a healthy diet, a diet for healthy living.
As a general rule of thumb, an adult who is not significantly
overweight should consume eight 8-ounce glasses of water each and
every day. (Soft drinks, coffee, milk and other beverages are not
to be utilized as part of the total water intake amount.

However,
some herbal, decaffeinated teas can be
used towards your overall water intake count on a given day.)
A person who is overweight will need to consume more water. Some
experts suggest that (in addition to utilizing vitamins and
nutritional supplements) a heavier person should take in not only
the base eight glasses of water daily but should also drink an
additional 8-ounce glass for every ten pounds he or she weights
over and above his or her "ideal weight." Of course, if a person is
morbidly obese, there is a line of water consumption that cannot be
crossed.

You can only consume so much water -- however, you do need
to bear in mind that the more you weigh, the more water that you
will need to drink each and every day.
Finally, in addition to using vitamins and nutritional
supplements to enhance any workout or
exercise regimen that you include
in your overall healthy living plan or scheme, you need to increase
your intake of water when you do exercise.
