Why is it important to get your nutrients from whole food vs. supplements?

459 views

So what makes it so much better to get your nutrients through foods rather than supplements? I understand you need to eat, but say all you’ve got is potatoes and multivitamins, is that very much less effective than eating a balanced diet? Or is it just “ideal” to get them through foods but you’ll still be ok?

Like if that’s all you had for a month, would your health really suffer negatively?

Because we don’t actually know the exact conditions the body will thrive. The list of vitamins and the daily requirements are an estimate.
