Don’t forget to take your vitamins! It’s good
advice. But everybody’s needs are different. Age, lifestyle,
gender, ethnicity, diet, and habits all play a role in determining
which vitamins and minerals you need more or less of in your diet.
Like traffic lights, vitamins help regulate your body’ most
basic functions at the cellular level. And just like those red,
green and amber beacons, they must be synchronized–not too
many or too few–to get you through your life’s journey
in good shape. Now Vitamins For Dummies shows you how to
have green lights all the way.
