Everybody I know takes a multi-vitamin. Heck, I take a multi-vitamin. Every day. Just to be sure. And, even though I eat a lot of salmon (I live on the west coast of Canada, after all), I take a fish oil pill. For the Omega-3s. Just to be sure.

But – you know what? All one needs to do to be successful at the Vitamin game is to eat the right foods. And it’s a much better way to get your daily dose of the Vitamins we need to stay healthy than dropping pills. More natural. More balanced. Way less costly. A good activity for success.
