Can you really get all your nutrients from food?

By Guest Blogger: K.C. Craichy

How does the human body do all the amazing things it does? How can our mind and body deal with stress effectively? One of the most important answers is nutrition. Science has identified more than 50 essential nutrients needed by the human body to perform at optimal levels. The body cannot produce any of these nutrients on its own, thus they must be obtained from food sources and dietary supplementation. If a person is deficient in any of these essential nutrients, the result is dysfunction and disease.

Complete absence results in death.
