About this ebook
To maintain good health you need to provide your body with more than 30 vitamins, minerals and other compounds that it cannot manufacture. Do you consume enough of all of them? Many experts do not think so. Their theory is that the typical diet of modern societies, deficient in certain vitamins and minerals, could be related to the current high prevalence of some current chronic diseases. But is that true? • Can deficiencies in these nutrients make us sick? • When should we turn to multivitamin supplements? The author addresses these issues, based on the novelties provided by science. She will give you the keys to get the right amounts of vitamins and minerals and optimize your health.
