Welcome to our guard your health series. We are providing information that is not often learned in school. Okay. Uh guarding your health is not uh one of the subjects that's taught. uh there might be some some health related uh teaching in school but um it's an important uh topic and uh that's the role I've played for many decades as a practicing nutritionist is seeing myself more as an educator and trying to provide information that sometimes people are just unaware of um or never really learned or never really uh thought about. So what I want to do now is I want to talk about uh this topic will be called beyond vitamins. Now we all know vitamins and minerals play a critical role in our health and well-being. Uh as a nutritionist I can tell you uh through the studies I've had in nutrition. Um we need approximately 40 different nutrients a day. And if you're getting 39 out of the 40, you might feel you're doing fantastic. Uh if you could imagine a ball player getting on base 39 out of 40 times, he'd have some contract. In in the world of nutrition though, it doesn't work that way because any nutrient that you become deficient in over time will lead to some illness or some disease in the body. Just to give you a few examples, if you're deficient in iron for a long enough period of time, eventually you'll develop something called iron deficiency anemia. If you're deficient in calcium or vitamin D, it will affect your bone health down the road. So, every nutrient is essential and we have to do the best we can to uh secure uh getting those nutrients from a well- balanced eating plan, possibly some supplementation uh to ensure that we're getting as many of these nutrients to really get it all all that we need. Um
