Overview

Nutritional deficiencies affect around 2 billion people which can lead to an increased risk for infections, terrible illnesses and death! Who is at risk for a nutritional deficiency? -pregnant women (Vitamin B6, Folate, Iron, Vitamin D) -children and teenagers (Vitamin D) -older adults (Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Zinc) -patients with fat malabsorption syndromes (Vitamin A, D, E, K) -alcoholics (Vitamin A, B Vitamins) -smokers (Vitamin C, Vitamin E) -vegans, vegetarians (Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Calcium) You cannot outsource your health to your doctor. Ever notice how the more money Americans spent on ""healthcare"" the unhealthier we have become overall? We are better off spending more time and money on PREVENTION. We are what we eat. The body is self-healing and self-regulating. We are all energy. Energy is never destroyed; it is merely transferred. You can get virtually all of your vitamins, minerals and key nutrients from food. Do you need to supplement? Maybe! It really depends on the person. Your best bet is to buy your food from a local farmer's market or grow your own food (be sure to add wood ashes into your compost pile). Get the majority of your vitamins and minerals from high-quality foods and fill in any nutrient gaps with the appropriate supplements. However, you cannot just take supplements to put a band-aid over a poor diet. You need the enzymes in food to digest vitamins and minerals. Supplements have their place but do your research. Use common sense and take them with fat to properly absorb. Nutritional Nirvana 2nd Edition features an extensive nutritional analysis of a vast array of foods: meats, seafood, dairy, fruits, vegetables, fats, etc. We have to know what we are eating. My goal with this book is to help you make better decisions with your nutrition plan. No other book in history has addressed the complete nutritional story from Vitamin A to Zinc in foods.
