Take Care of Your Vitamin Intake

Right now, the foods we easily consume have many added vitamins and minerals. Only in aging, illness and some other necessary situations do we have to sue more supplements. One hundred years ago, people’s average lifespan was only 31.6 years. Of five children, only one would reach maturity. Right now, Americans live an average of 76 years old in males and 82 in females. It is a result of the advances in medicine and the discovery of vitamins. On hundred years from now, humans may live to 120 years old; so you have to take care of your vitamin intake. It is important to keep yourself in good health.
