Millions of us guzzle supplements to make up for unhealthy lifestyles, but are we making a fatal mistake? | Mail Online
When Lauren Allchurch woke up last Thursday, she didn’t have time for breakfast. Instead, she rushed to work, ate a few boiled sweets, then at lunchtime had a ham salad sandwich with a cup-a-Soup and a packet of crisps.
When her energy slumped in the afternoon, she scoffed a chocolate bar then, in the evening, she ate a Thai curry and finished off one of her Easter eggs. Lauren, a 28-year-old PR from Swansea, admits that her diet is terrible. ‘I eat far too much chocolate, but I love it,’ she says.
Yet, far from being malnourished and unhealthy, Lauren, who plays netball and goes running at least twice a week, has taken only two days off sick in the past five years. Her secret? Lauren believes it is the hundreds of vitamins and supplements that she has consumed over the past five years.
