Now most marketing efforts would lead you to believe that taking a single pill or focusing on a single super food will boost your health. Well, the reality is that taking in a wide variety of foods is the best approach-but most people don’t like to hear this.

Unfortunately, advertising complete nutrition is not as profitable as advertising the next magic pill. But in reality, eating a wide combination of nutrients is what leads to maximum health.

So here is how to combine secret nutrients to boost your health:

1. Vitamin D and calcium: Quite often, you may not be getting your daily recommended amount of calcium. And over the long run this may compromise your bone health. Now if you are getting small amounts of calcium in your diet, Vitamin D can help you absorb more.

2. Sodium and potassium: You most likely are having too much sodium day in and day out-it’s simply impossible to avoid unless you eat pure food and never go out. Fortunately, potassium can counter the negative effects of sodium by coaxing your kidneys to secrete more of it. And lower sodium translates into lower blood pressure.

3. Oysters and metal: Why do people claim that oysters are so good for you? Because they have zinc which is related to hormone production. Now zinc and copper (think “metal”) compete for the same absorption sites in your body. So make sure you don’t over supplement with either.

4. Turkey and niacin: Okay, turkey has a lot of tryptophan. And tryptophan can help your body produce more niacin. Now recall that niacin is a great nutrient because it improves cholesterol profiles. And a better cholesterol profile will translate into better heart health.

Please do not get bogged down by nutrition minutiae. The best approach to nutrition is to include as much variety as possible.

One more thing: don’t wait to take action on this information. After all, information that is not acted upon is forgotten.
