1999 Edition.
The complete up-to-date guide to vitamins, minerals, supplements and herbs, and how they are best used to promote health and well being . . .
Diet plays a role in many of the killer diseases in our society. Scientific research suggests how we can control or prevent many disorders through diet and lifestyle.
'Vitamins Etc', the second edition of the 'Vitamin Guide', provides the most up-to-date research on vitamins and minerals. It explains:
- What vitamins, minerals and other nutrients do
- Recommended dietary intakes and food sources
- How to identify nutrient deficiencies
- Who will benefit from taking supplements and the types available
Despite the fact that up to 70 per cent of people take supplements at least occasionally, controversy surrounds their use, and many questions remain unanswered. 'Vitamins Etc' is the essential reference guide to sorting your way through the maze of information about diet, supplements and the role played by vitamins and minerals in maintaining health and wellbeing.
Of all the major factors affecting your health, you have the greatest control over your diet. This book will help you make informed choices about the food you eat and the supplements you take.
