About the Book

"A small oasis in the arid territory of so many miracle and/or fashionable diets, false promises and 'rigorous' studies"To maintain good health, you must 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 minerals and vitamins, could be related to the high prevalence of some current chronic diseases. But is that true?- Can the deficiencies or shortages of these nutrients make us sick?- When should we resort 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. YOU WILL LEARN - How vitamins and minerals differ- Which vitamins should be replaced every few days and which ones your body can store and release as you need them- Why there is a debate about the recommended amounts and why more is not always better INCLUDES SPECIALIZED SECTIONS- How can I improve my diet- What other factors of my lifestyle can I improve- Foods rich in the scarcest minerals and vitamins in the diet "Written in a very intimate tone, it is useful for any reader who seeks to improve his or her health, prevent diseases, and get away from myths and pseudoscience" THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN THE BOOK
