suggested food or herb. Note that the recommended herbs and foods are mere preventive measures that should be implemented along with a holistic healthy life style as discussed in this book. It should be taken into consideration also that no food is in any way like a 'magic pill' that shows its result as soon as it is administered; beneficial foods and herbs should be part of a regular, healthy eating routine that builds a strong, healthy organism over time. It should also be noted that the use of a combination of different foods and herbs causes a synergistic effect, so it would be very useful to vary your diet and experiment with new flavours and combinations of flavours every now and then. The suggested foods here are not in any way meant to take the place of professional medical advice.

If you study this table closely, you will notice that the ones that are needed most frequently by the body (vitamin C, E and B vitamins) are widely spread in common and different food sources, and they are not stored in the body, so that if we consume more than we need, the excess will just be excreted, causing no toxic symptoms. (This will not be the case if you obtain them from supplements). On the other hand, the fat-soluble vitamins like A and D, which can be stored in the body, are less available in our foods. Nevertheless, to avoid deficiency, Allah made your body able to synthesise these vitamins, only when needed, from other available sources (vitamin A from beta-carotenes and vitamin D by the action of sunlight on your skin).

Another fat-soluble vitamin, K, is needed in a tiny amount: it is found in few food sources, and any additional need for it is provided by the action of intestinal bacteria, so deficiency is not common except as a result of human interlerence like the long-term use of antibiotics. Minerals are elements needed in the diet to perlorm important chemical reactions or act as structural components and regulators of different body processes. Trace minerals are minerals required in very small amounts but they perlorm crucial functions in the body. As a general rule, it i's better to obtain vitamins and minerals from natural dietary sources rather than from supplements.
