Chase and Rhonda are studying for the nutrition quiz on vitamins. Over the semester break Chase started taking several dietary supplements and a water-soluble multi-vitamin to help improve his energy level and nutrient status. Rhonda has been a vegan (consumes no animal products or by-products) for several months. As they study for their quiz they explore natural sources of the essential
vitamins. Chase believes that Rhonda should be taking a multi-vitamin supplement because of her vegetarian lifestyle, but Rhonda believes that Chase is likely overdosing on some of the vitamin supplements. Help them study for their quiz and determine who is right about their need for dietary supplements. What would be a good way for Chase to increase his water-soluble vitamin intake so that he doesn't feel the need to take a multi-vitamin?
A) Consume at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day
B) Include fortified and enriched grain products in his diet
C) Consume a variety of low-fat protein sources including dairy and beans
D) Chase should practice all of the above to insure a balance of water-soluble vitamins in his diet.
