Much is being written and talked about the modern principles of proper nutrition. Wholegrain products, brown rice, wheat germ, natural honey, buttermilk, soft white cheese (cottage cheese, quark) and vegetable oils high in polyunsaturated fatty acids are being recommended as nutritionally sound food, and rightly so.

But it is also interesting to note that in a family of five, all eating the same healthy natural food, not every member benefits to the same degree. One member of the family may be strong, healthy and in good physical shape, whereas another may be skinny and weak, and a third member could even be anaemic and pale. Only when one of them suffers from such a marked calcium deficiency that he experiences constant cramps and spasms and can only keep free from pain by taking antispasmodics does it begin to dawn on us that nutrition involves more than simply giving the body a certain quantity of good food with a high nutritive content. Nutrition also means making sure that the body can absorb this good food, thus enabling the cells to receive all the nutrients they need.
