Canadians are heavier now than ever before. The prevalence of overweight individuals and obesity has increased markedly in the past two decades. Changes in dietary and fitness habits, such as over-consumption and an increased sedentary lifestyle, have significantly contributed to the weight-gain epidemic.
Vitamin/mineral pills are not insurance for a poor diet! Only food provides you with great taste and the energy you need to get moving and feel great. Some individuals, including pregnant women, can benefit from supplements. Before taking any supplements talk to a registered dietitian.
