You need no supplements!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for following up with me.
Healthy feeding habit is all that we need. There are just no reasons getting bothered about supplements. You eat a lot of fruits, vegetables and should have all the necessary vitamins and minerals require. Like in the name supplement, they are actually meant for those who are deficient. Unfortunately, persons tend to think this makes a difference in their lives and go on the without any medical recommendation. The added advantage to this is almost inexistent in persons with a healthy diet.
In your case, I will recommend that you take no extra supplements. Continue just like you have been doing and all would be fine.. Remember that what matters most is the sustainability of the lifestyle modifications over time and not the rapid unrealistic changes that occur at some points.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Fee free to keep the discussion going.
