Question

Are we taking more vitamin supplements than our parents? If so or not I would like you to please analyze how lifestyle changes between our parents and ours that have influenced this behavior of taking more or less vitamin supplements.

Answer 1

YES , we are taking more Vitamin supplements than our parents. Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and develop normally. Earlier our parents were more concern about their food and life style. They usually take hygienic food than what we are consuming today. For example In India earlier people use to consume steam processed rice, which contain all nutrients including Various vitamins. But, Today in India people like western countries are consuming polished rice, which has no vitamins in it. So, to compensate loss they are taking Vitamin supplements. In western countries, People are now more fond of Junk foods, which lacks essential nutrients and are non hygienic. Consumption of Genetically Modified food are also one of the reason why people are now consuming Vitamin supplements, which compensate high yields by essential nutrients. Today women are more concern about their external beauty and dependent on Vitamin E supplements for enhance their beauty. Clinical deficiencies of vitamin A are rare in the U.S., but since only one-third of women eat enough daily servings of fruit and vegetables, many are not reaching optimal levels of beta-carotene.
