Why certain vitamins CANNOT be absorbed without fat in your diet
How color of foods can inform their beneficial role in the body
Why even if you’re the BEST eater on the planet you should still consider supplementation to cover your bases
Why fruits and vegetables today are actually depleted of nutrients
How to get the maximum nutrient content from fresh or frozen vegetables
What symptoms indicate nutrient deficiencies
What risk factors contribute to you potentially having issues with nutrient absorption
Why the RDA or RDI numbers on supplement labels aren’t necessarily calculated for optimal health
