It's no secret that the nutrient content of our fresh food intake has changed from that of many years ago. In this book, Gloria Askew looks at our dietary intake and nutrition in combination with natural food supplements as the path to healthy diet and lifestyle.

What kind of nutrition do we need? Which food supplements should we buy? Vitamins and food supplements are part of a multi-billion dollar industry that is poorly regulated and loosely controlled. Some supplements are good, some are bad, while some are "totally terrific". This book was written to help the general public know the difference.

The book details fundamentals of good nutrition and helps readers determine how food supplements play a role in their overall health. Its intention is to assist in making informed decisions about which food supplements are the best choice given the wide range that are available on the market today. This book does not suggest brand names or makers, but rather advocates choices based on individual self assessment and physiological needs.
