Along with a balanced diet and regular exercise, multivitamins
are a good way to stay in good health. For just pennies a day,
they may help lower your risk of cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis
as well as prevent some birth defects.
To get the most out of multivitamins,
you need to take one every day.
Combine taking
multivitamins with another everyday activity,
such as eating your breakfast or brushing your teeth.
Place your bottle of multivitamins where you’re likely
to see it
— on your kitchen counter, for example, or next to
your car keys.
If you have trouble swallowing multivitamins, buy the
chewable kind.
Check the expiration date on the bottle. Multivitamins can
lose much of their potency if they’ve been sitting
on the shelf
too long.
Many generic multivitamins are just as effective as name
brands and often cost less.
