Are you exposed to sunlight every day for at least 15-30 minutes?

You need to be outside from 11am – 3pm, every day, in order for your body to be able to produce the amounts of vitamin D that our bodies need. If you are not able to be outside every day, if you avoid sunlight, or are completely covered when outdoors, your body will not be able to produce enough vitamin D.

Are you already pregnant, or do you want to be?

When you are pregnant, or want to be, your body requires a greater amount of certain vitamins and minerals.

Folic acid can be taken throughout pregnancy, and is important to the development of your unborn child’s central nervous system.

It is also a good idea to supplement with fish oil throughout pregnancy, as it benefits both you and your child.

Are you on a weight-loss diet?

When our diet is composed largely of fat-free foods, it often becomes very one-sided, so it is important that you are still getting the vitamins and minerals that you would normally get through a completely balanced diet. A-vitamins are good for your skin and, together with C-vitamins, ensure that your immune system is functioning optimally, while B-vitamins are important for maintaining energy levels. Our bodies need all of these, if we want to lose weight effectively.
