Americans fare better when it comes to daily or weekly habits. More than half of American adults take a multivitamin, and 45 percent report taking a dietary supplement other than a multivitamin. The number one reason supplement users take supplements is for general health. A third try to adhere to their exercise regimens at least two to three times a week (36 percent) and nearly two-thirds (61 percent) exercise for 30 minutes or more.

"Healthy diet, vitamins and other supplements, and exercise work together to form a foundation for wellness," says Dr. Cooper. "The more education Americans have about these three pillars, the easier it will be to live healthy lifestyles."
