A quick word on "essential" nutrients. In essence‚ for any nutrient to be labeled "essential‚" it must (a) be absolutely necessary for us to maintain our health; and (b) our body can't be able to produce it naturally. In most cases‚ in order to give our body the essential nutrients it needs‚ we must do so through dietary means. Now‚ a lot of our diets may not be as nutritionally optimal as they need to be‚ which is why Basic Preventive 2 can be so beneficial‚ because it's a quick and easy way to potentially give your body some of the essential nutrients it needs.
