Catching up with nutrients

Prevent damage to the heart
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, proline and lysine are four important nutrients that, when taken on a daily basis, help prevent damage to the cardiovascular system and the occurrence of heart disease.
Arteriosclerosis
Essential Fatty Acids can help prevent arteriosclerosis. These include borage, black current, and evening primrose oils (sources of GLA), flax seed oil, and fish oil (source of DHA and EPA).
Garlic a boon to heart
Garlic lowers blood pressure, thins the blood, and helps circulation, all of which benefit the heart. In addition it detoxifies the body, protects against and fights infection, and promotes digestion.
Food combining
As there are no foods that contain an optimum combination of the required nutrients such as fat, protein, minerals, vitamins, water and fiber, the diet must include the required quantities of the various nutrient groups in order to guarantee optimal provision. Naturally each group contains some foodstuffs, which have a higher rating from the point of view of physiological nourishment, and others, which have a lower rating. So, in the group showing cereals and cereal products, we have a slice of whole meal wheat bread, which is rated higher than a slice of toasted bread made from milled white flour.
