The Essential Goodness of Vitamins and Minerals
Whether you’re age 3 or 103, vitamins and minerals are important because our bodies need them for their normal processes. That’s because all kinds of different things happen in our bodies that require nutrients from various sources in order to make those processes happen. Dr. Stacy Holl, an Internal Medicine physician at Grand Itasca, explains why vitamins and minerals are so essential to good health.
“We're able to make some of these nutrients in our own bodies, but we have to get some of them from outside sources such as foods or supplements,” Dr. Holl states. “Then we can use them in the same processes in our body.”
