Abstract

This article discusses the need for certain nutrients and the best way to get them including calcium which is necessary for strong bones but which doesn't work by itself, vitamin D which has been shown to help in preventing certain cancers, omega-3 fatty acids which benefit the heart and help with psychiatric and neurological problems, Chromium which is necessary for the body to use and dispose of sugars thus helping to prevent type 2 diabetes, and potassium which is necessary for reducing blood pressure and strokes.
