This short and simple book explains why we need to supplement our diet to maintain health and wellness. It also outlines the small number of daily supplements to take based on a consensus of medical opinion over a long period of time. There is a summary of all vitamins and minerals, their functions in the body and the food sources you can get them from as well as the symptoms of deficiency of these nutrients. No fluff, no hype, no opinions here. Just the facts and information you need to know to maintain your most important asset-your health. This information is provided in the context of nutritional therapy which is part of the wider field of orthomolecular medicine. The author has studied this subject matter for twenty years, has a diploma and other certificates in nutrition and keeps up with new trends in research and practice in this field. There are a lot of links to accurate online sources of information about the benefits of taking regular vitamin and mineral supplements but it is necessary to say that the recommended daily allowance dosages of conventional medicine are different from the protocol in orthomolecular medicine, also known as nutrition therapy. This book is the first of a series called “Nutrition365” and is a chapter from the “parent” book “Nutrition in a Nutshell” which will be published later. In the meantime, there will be other short books in this series called “Protein & Fish Oils”, “The Facts about Fats” and “The Truth about Sugar” and maybe more. They will all be good value for money, especially the Kindle ones because of the many links to further information in them. This book is a handy reference guide in any home for individuals or families who are interested in maintaining their health. It will also be interesting for those in conventional medical practice if they are curious about the orthomolecular field which is not in conflict but in tandem with their own practice. It is worth mentioning here that the Kindle version is better value at its price and in context of its direct access to website links than the paperback. However, it is my experience so far with books like this that many people like to keep a paperback book like this in their home, sometimes along with the first aid kit for ease of access and reference to as necessary. Buy this wee book! It is not expensive and it will come in handy 🙂 Kate
