Here�s an idea for a New Year�s resolution: Take a multivitamin every day. A recent national nutritional survey showed that high percentages of Americans have inadequate intakes of many key vitamins and minerals � despite the evidence that poor nutritional status increases the risk for certain birth defects, infections and chronic diseases. Doctor David Heber, Director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, says multivitamins can help fill this nutritional gap:

"A complete multivitamin like Centrum that contains 100% of the recommended daily intakes for these and many other important nutrients, taken in conjunction with a healthy diet, will help ensure you�re getting all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to stay healthy."

Suboptimal levels of vitamins such as Folic Acid, B6 and B12 may increase the risk of heart disease and some cancers. A daily multivitamin may aid in reducing chronic disease risk while providing other nutritional benefits. Make taking a daily multivitamin your healthy resolution for 2004.
