The Definitive Guide to Natural Remedies is an enjoyable, useful book that deserves a place on bookshelves and desks everywhere. With a patient and clear style, the text defines and elaborates upon many of the popular health buzzwords that too often go unexplained.

Covered within its 109 pages are thorough descriptions of antioxidant properties, the different kinds of fat, the effects of diet on disease, and vitamin/mineral properties. Anyone who has tried to buy a multivitamin supplement will appreciate the discussion on multivitamin preparation terminology and distinctions, where words like "chelated" and "bioavailability" are defined.

An extensive quick reference guide to vitamins and minerals further elaborates on the different nutrients available in supplement form. The quick reference guide also describes about each nutrient its function, benefits, food sources, deficiency symptoms, safety concerns, and interactions.

Lately it seems as though everyone has something to say about antioxidants, but hardly anyone is providing any real explanation for what they are and how they work. Therefore, many people will undoubtedly benefit from the entire chapter devoted to antioxidants, how they function, and why they are important. Equally as many people will find satisfaction in the chapter-long discussion of fat. This section removes the misconceptions about fat by explaining the differences between "good" and "bad" fats.
