The book starts by explaining what nutrients are and how they are classified. You'll learn the difference between macronutrients and micronutrients and how vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients support your body's functions. It includes detailed sections on both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin C, B-complex vitamins (Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12), Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K. Understand what happens when you don't get enough of these vitamins and learn about the foods that are rich in these nutrients. The book also covers important minerals. It explains the roles and benefits of major minerals like Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Sulfur, and Chloride, as well as trace minerals like Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Iodine, Selenium, Fluoride, Chromium, and Molybdenum. You'll learn what these minerals do for your body, what happens when you don't get enough, and the best foods to eat to get these minerals. You'll also discover the health benefits of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and antioxidants. Learn how these nutrients help with digestion, heart health, immune function, and more. Identify the signs of not getting enough of these nutrients and find out which foods provide them. The book offers practical tips for including a variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in your daily meals, along with meal planning ideas and recipes. It also provides guidance on when and how to use supplements.
