Hectic work schedule
Can Dietary Supplements help to Boost your Physical and Mental Health?
It is very difficult for many of us to manage a perfectly balanced nutritional diet due to hectic work schedules. Studies have shown that merely 20% of people eat all essential nutrients during their work schedule even when people consume the best organic food.
Is it possible?
- To intake adequate amounts of a balanced diet anywhere, at any time?
And
- How to fulfill the daily need for a balanced diet?
In our daily diet, it is essential to take macronutrients and micronutrients i.e. Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Fiber, Vitamins, and Minerals, in an adequate or estimated amount as recommended by the RDA. Therefore, in our busy schedules, dietary supplements fill these nutritional gaps.
What should be in consideration, before intake of any kind of supplementation?
- Follow recommended daily allowance.
- Formulation with age and gender
- Individual need (advice from physician/dietitian)
- Medication (some medicine interaction with micronutrients)
- Dietary restriction (veg – non-veg)
- Risk factors (smoking- vitamin d deficiency, drinking- heavily thiamin deficiency accordingly takes advice from Dr. / Dietitian)
- Consult your Doctor/Dietitian
