The current 2020-2025 guidelines, though, acknowledge that supplements may be useful for providing nutrients you may not be getting enough of—especially when your diet has some gaps.</p> <p>“As a nation, we are overfed and undernourished,” says Marci Clow, R.D.N., a dietitian at Rainbow Light, maker of food-based multivitamins and supplements. In a perfect world, our diets would be made up of nutrient-dense whole foods (fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats).</p> <p><a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/should-you-take-a-multivitamin/" rel="nofollow">Continue reading Should You Be Taking A Multivitamin? at What’s Good blog.</a></p> ]]></description> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">1544</post-id> </item> <item> <title>What Happens When Your Diet Falls Short On Fat</title> <link>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/dietary-fat/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Cassie Shortsleeve]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2020 16:05:18 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Nutrition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Latest]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com/?p=24492</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/dietary-fat/"><img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/woman-in-sweater-eating-fresh-salad-avocado-beans-and-vegetables-picture-id1130791021-150x150.jpg" alt="What Happens When Your Diet Falls Short On Fat" align="left" style="margin: 0 20px 20px 0;max-width:100%" /></a><p class="p1">If the popularity of the keto diet has proven anything, it’s that fat is not the enemy. According to the American Heart Foundation, healthy dietary fats give your body the energy it needs, help lower levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol, provide the building blocks for hormones, and help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). </p> <p class="p1">If you don’t get enough of it, your body might not be able to do some very basic but important tasks, including protecting you from free radicals (which are linked to chronic disease), supporting healthy skin and nails, and keeping you warm, says Abby Vichill, R.D., a registered dietitian with holistic food blog FWDfuel Sports Nutrition.</p> <p><a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/dietary-fat/" rel="nofollow">Continue reading What Happens When Your Diet Falls Short On Fat at What’s Good blog.</a></p> ]]></description> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">24492</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How To Tell If Your Post-Workout Soreness Is A Problem</title> <link>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/post-workout-soreness/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Cassie Shortsleeve]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Jan 2020 16:12:54 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Editors Picks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fitness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Latest]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com/?p=24146</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/post-workout-soreness/"><img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/asian-muscular-man-suffering-from-shoulder-injury-while-exercising-at-picture-id1145276990-150x150.jpg" alt="How To Tell If Your Post-Workout Soreness Is A Problem" align="left" style="margin: 0 20px 20px 0;max-width:100%" /></a><p class="p1">There’s a special kind of satisfaction that comes with that sore feeling you get after a great workout.
