scurvy caused by vitamins B, D and c respectively, and when nutrients were
restored at balance levels, vitality, and health was restored. Authors examined
the chemical composition, physiological roles, and therapeutic benefits of
various foods and herbs, to underscores the concept of nutraceuticals. Findings
were organized in chapters, for both accessibility and depth, each chapter
guides readers through the essential macronutrients and micronutrients vital to
human health, before delving into the curative properties of specific natural
remedies.
Results: Showed that foods with proven medicinal value are
viable, affordable, and sustainable approach to wellness. Ultimately, this work
