Based in California, and drawing on her foundations forged in the fields of nutrition and fitness in Cuba, naturopath, nutritionist, author, and teacher Neyda Carballo-Ricardo has for decades hosted her daily radio program, first in New York, then in the West Coast, as well as via Internet. The program explores practices in holistic nutrition, diet, exercise, as well as physical, emotional, and spiritual improvement. Widely recognized for her insight into the connections between health disorders and nutritional supplements, Dr Neyda believes that the body can heal itself with a balance of nutrients, exercise, relaxation, and meditation. The mind/body/spirit connection is also crucial to health. This book is a readable and clear guide to the science of nutrition, the role of nutritional supplements in the body, the best way to take them, and their interactions. As she says, "Disease can be prevented, and aging can be postponed. It all depends on how much we want to invest in ourselves."
