Most people that start taking vitamins, likely recognize a need to be healthier, so they start taking better care of themselves in other areas as well.

I am generally at the same activity level now as I was before I started taking them - 3 times a week running, and recreational soccer once or twice a week for the most part. Only noticeable change in diet was a reduction in milk intake, but that was only about a year ago. I definitely agree that taking vitamins is obviously an attempt to get healthier. I just find that the general time frame of taking vitamins and not getting sick is for the most part on the same track (for me). It's of course different for everyone.
