While nutritionists agree the best way to get vitamins and minerals is through food, there are times when supplements are nec- essary.

Nutritionists agree the body can get from food everything it needs to stay healthy. “Every part of the body is continually moving and changing, even though the structures, such as bones, teeth and muscles and how you look remain the same,” says information provided through Iowa State University Extension to families learning about nutrition. “Your skin is replaced entirely by new cells every seven years. The fat beneath your skin is not the same fat that was there a year ago, and the entire lining of your digestive tract is renewed every three days. To maintain your body, you must continually get the energy and nutrients you need from foods.” For some people, however, there are problems. Food allergies can drop an entire type of food out of the mix, and some people just refuse to eat certain foods. Although it may seem an unreasonable act, a Wisconsin man refuses to eat round food. No peas, no oranges, peaches, olives. If it is round, he will not eat it.
