4.0 out of 5 stars PRACTICAL QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE, 8 Aug 2004

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

Too many people focus on nutrition only when they are feeling run down or ill. To maintain good health at all times, one needs to pay constant attention to the fuel that you provide to your body. The immune system relies on what we eat for the essential nutrients that it needs to combat illness. Good health is a strategy that everybody ought to employ to prevent illness and provide the body with the resources to protect itself.

This is an excellent quick reference guide to find your way amongst all the food and health products and the profusion of supplements available these days. Each entry provides a definition in plain language, i.e. what it is, where it comes from, the form it takes, how to prepare or take it, the medicinal and health benefits and the recommended daily use.

Not only foodstuffs are discussed, as the entries include related matters such as for example the acid-alkaline balance, allergy, antibiotics etc. The entries run from acacia to zinc. The book includes a list of helpful addresses and herbal suppliers in Australia, the UK and the USA and concludes with an index. I also recommend The A o Z Guide To Supplements by Phyllis A Balch and Earl Mindell's Supplement Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, & enlightening, 18 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nutrients A-Z: A User's Guide to Foods, Herbs, Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (Paperback)

A must for the diet conscious, and well written in an easy to assimilate style by someone with an obvious flare for his work. A must reference book for everybody.
