The Chain of Life
Six
distinct groups of nutrients that support optimal health make
up what GNLD calls the "Chain of Life." Each "link" depends
on the strength of the others to function properly.
Lipids
and sterols: Essential fats required for energy and to
maintain healthy cells.
Carbohydrates: The "fuel" that keeps
all body functions running. Responsible for energy and
endurance.
Protein: Builds
and repairs cells in hair, skin, organs and muscles.
Enzymes: Biochemical "keys" that
unlock powerful nutrients. Critical in digestion and metabolism.
Minerals: Help
build bones, teeth and soft tissue; crucial to muscle response.
Vitamins
and food-related factors: Vitamins and phytonutrients
like carotenoids and flavonoids help promote lifelong health
and vitality.
