How much nutrients do we need?

How much is enough? That is such an interesting question.

The store promotes Vitamin Cs tablets, multi-vitamins, calcium tablets, omega 3-6-9 etc. Hmm... should we just forget about food and pop pills? The pill popping culture reminds me that our body is just a machine and the food our gasoline and lubricants. Without a right mix, the machine does not function as well.

Lesson 1 - Recommended Dietary Allowance
Though the requirements may vary from person to person, this is the amount that they have found out to satisfy the requirements of 97-98% of the individuals in that age range and gender group.
