The holiday season is synonymous with indulgence—lavish meals, delectable desserts, and festive beverages. While these moments bring joy, they can also lead to overconsumption of calorie-dense, nutrient-poor foods, potentially compromising our nutritional well-being.
The State of Nutrition in the U.S.
Despite the abundance of food, malnutrition remains a concern in the United States, often stemming from poor dietary choices rather than scarcity. A study highlighted that the proportion of older adults with poor diet quality significantly increased from 51% to 61% since 2001.
The Importance of Nutritional Support
During the holidays, it's essential to be mindful of our nutritional intake. Incorporating a comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement can help bridge the gap between indulgent eating and optimal nutrient intake. VNI's Prodovite® is a liquid multivitamin, mineral, and phytonutrient complex designed to support overall health by providing essential nutrients. Its unique formulation promotes rapid and sustainable absorption, aiding in optimal health, energy, and vitality.
