(WKBN) - A doctor with the Cleveland Clinic said that people should get the vitamins and minerals they need from a healthy diet, but if you do take supplements, there are some that are recommended. According to Dr. Beha Vyas, a healthy diet should negate the need for supplements, but if you have trouble getting the right nutrients from your diet, a multivitamin could help. And if you don't have access to enough sunlight, she recommends taking vitamin D. Also, if you are at risk for osteoporosis, then a calcium supplement is suggested. There are tests available to determine if you have any vitamin deficiencies. "A good diet is one that incorporates a lot of different colors into the food people eat. If you want to follow a particular diet, the Mediterranean diet has a good number of healthy fats, healthy grains, and a good variety of fruits and vegetables, and that's a great place to start," Vyas said. You should also talk to your doctor about any vitamins you are taking, especially if you are on other medication because there could be a drug interaction you are not aware of.
