I think The Magic of Vitamins and Minerals is an appropriate title for this book. Vitamins and minerals are magic, and it is only when you start to research what they do in the human body that you begin to realize that without them your body would not function at all.In this book I have included chapters on prenatal vitamins and whether babies and children need dietary supplements. In addition, men and woman have different nutritional needs, as do those individuals who are either approaching or are in their senior years. I have also included a chapter on sports supplements and the use of creatine to enhance sports performance. There is also a chapter on what vitamins to use to enhance the health of the skin, which is the largest organ of the body.You will also find an expanded chapter on the B vitamins, vitamin K, vitamin X as well as chapters on the minerals magnesium and zinc.In addition you will find chapters on what the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) are for various vitamins and minerals as well as what constitutes an ideal multivitamin and mineral supplement.Throughout the book you will find descriptions of what the various vitamins and minerals are, what are good food sources, what functions they perform in the body and also what supplements are available.Antioxidants are a big buzz-word these days, so I have included a chapter on these very important vitamins and minerals and how they help to neutralize the effects of free radical damage.I have written this book in an easy to understand style with several tables and diagrams to further clarify the text. It is an ideal reference book for anyone who is interested in pursuing good health and gaining a better understanding of the vital role that vitamins and minerals play in the overall health of the human body.
