Food Choices to Replenish Drug-Depleted Nutrients
I found this in Life Extension magazine and thought it was worth posting. Coenzyme Q10 was interesting to me...this is why I STILL do all of the Breast Cancer diet, BUT I do fish 2 days a week, vegetarian 2 days a week AND either Beef or pork 2 days a week...I want to get ALL the vitamins and minerals I can so to ME, balance and whole foods are key.
