Answer 1

Hi Brittany,

 

Human body only needs small amounts of vitamins and minerals, it is true. It is true that herbal supplements are natural, however, that does not mean they are safe for every one; some people might have allergic reactions. Usually vegetables with deep yellow or orange flesh are good sources of vitamin c. Truly carbohydrates should make up 25% to 45% of the calories of a person's diet when he/she has normal activity, they provide instant energy for biological activity and certainly

extra calories are stored as fat in adipose tissue of human body. A binge eater is likely to consume more calories rather than less since the person is eating with instinct and not the energy demand.

 

Hope this helps.
