Taking vitamins will give you more energy…right? Wrong. Only the calories from food give you energy, not the vitamins. So focus on eating a balanced diet to stay perky. Aome vitamins do help release the energy in food during digestion, but if you’re generally healthyand eat a variety of foods, you can probably skip supplements.
Here’s a question to think about? How does someone who never smoked die of lung cancer? The truth is doctors aren’t quite sure how it happens, but they do know that environmental factors, including second hand smoke, asbestos and certain chemicals may be to blame. And believe it or not, your genes could also play a role. The truth is lung cancer is the No. 1 cause of cancer deaths for men and women alike.
