Health

Almost 75 percent of your health and life expectancy is based on lifestyle, environment, and nutrition. Yet even if you follow a healthful diet, you are probably not getting all the nutrients you need to prevent disease. Why? There are many reasons, ranging from the mineral-depleted soils in which our foods are grown, to medications that rob the body of various vitamins and minerals. What, then, is the answer?

Now available in a fully updated and revised edition that benefits from all the very latest research and science-based studies, What You Must Know About Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & More--Second Edition remains a core text written for everyone who wants to optimize health through diet and nutrient supplements. Dr. Pamela Smith first explains how medications, lifestyle, and other factors determine which nutrients are right for you, and how nutrient deficiencies can lead to chronic disease. She then goes on to provide all the information you need to create your own personalized nutritional program.

Whether you are trying to overcome a medical condition or you simply want to maintain good health, this new Second Edition can continue to help readers make the best choices about your diet and your supplement program.
