This is a superb primer on nutritional minerals for laypeople. The contributors to the book, Drs. De, Gliederer, Jose and Ms. Stephenson-Laws do a wonderful service in explaining the importance of nutritional minerals for human health and longevity. This is a well written and researched introduction to a neglected area of nutrition, minerals, backed by many years of clinical experience and medical research.

The information is well-supported, with all of the supporting studies cited in the book. And is it well presented, never beyond the average layperson's understanding.

The authors cover the role of minerals in all major aspects of human health - cardiovascular, mental and emotional and many other areas. A really great book for the person who wants to know more and take control of his/her health. This is a timely entry into the modern healthy nutrition movement.

Now this is one is a good one! A great source of ways to incorporate those small but powerful minerals that we all need into our diet. So many books these days focus on proteins and carbs, but minerals have their place in our overall health.

This book brings to light why you need some of the important minerals that might be overlooked. The book goes into detail about the right kinds of minerals to look for. In order to know if your body is lacking in these minerals, there is a section that tells you what lab tests to request from your doctor and where to have your minerals tested. I highly recommend reading this book to see if you are deficient in any of these minerals.
