Essential guide for making choices about what foods and supplements could benefit your body, mind and overall health. Food and supplement choices for the brain, body, specific organ health, deficiencies, sickness, and some diseases are at your fingertips in 6 laminated pages designed for quick reference. Author Julie Henry, RN, MPA, a writer within the medical field, uses her expertise as a nurse that also works in health care administration to give you the need-to-know facts in a succinct guide that has more answers per page than any book or website. In a supplement market where there is still speculation, lack of advertising regulation and where many products are not what they seem, having an expert in the medical field give you their cheat sheet to healthier living is an incredible value at this price.
