Natural Supplements. Vitamins, Minerals, Nutritherapy, Phytochemicals - E-book - ePub

In the diet of the 21st century, Natural Supplementation represents an important need that we must constantly consider if we want to achieve the goal of our nutrition being complete and sufficient, because this is a fundamental requirement to maintain well-being and avoid many diseases. The reason for this reality is that it is no longer enough to feed ourselves with what we find in supermarkets, because these foods are nutritionally impoverished, due to the way in which the modern food industry produces them; and are not capable of meeting our basic nutritional needs to keep our organs in good working order. Vitamins, Minerals and trace elements are the three great micronutrients that make up the solid pillar of good nutrition and we must cover their requirements by supplementing our diet to provide a good supply of them to our cells and tissues.
Phytochemicals are powerful antioxidants that give color to fruits and vegetables and the healing power of many foods lies largely in them.  Natural Supplements is a book that invites you to travel through the world of micronutrients and phytochemicals so that you understand the role that they play in the intricate process of our metabolism, and the importance of supplementing them naturally in an era where Foods are profoundly lacking in these vital elements.
