Szendi Gábor: New Vitamin Revolution, Expanded Edition 1 pc
A new vitamin revolution is taking place - although for now only in the closed world of research. In the past decade and a half, science has gained insights into vitamins that could literally be vital for us. However, the relevance of Gábor Szendi's book is not only given by this revolutionary situation. In the light of new knowledge, it is time to reconsider the superstitions and artificially fuelled myths that have unfortunately created the camp of fanatical vitamin believers and stubborn vitamin opponents in recent decades. In the fog created by vitamin gurus and prophets, it is important to finally see clearly what the real effects of vitamins are, what we can consider true, and what outdated illusions we should discard regarding vitamins.
Gabor Szendi's book is deliberately not an encyclopedia: it does not list which vitamin is "good for what" or what happens in case of their deficiency. Instead, based on the latest results of vitamin research, it presents the most important vitamins, as well as the mechanism of action of calcium and magnesium, and strives to awaken readers to the fact that these vitamins and minerals only function properly in complex interactions with each other. Therefore, in order for them to exert their desirable effects in the body, it is advisable to harmonize the quantity consumed of one with the other with which it interacts. As the author puts it: "It's like a symphony: it only comes together as a unified experience when each musician serves the greater whole with their playing."
Gábor Szendi is a writer and psychologist, the Hungarian pioneer and promoter of the paleolithic diet, and a freethinker. He believes that our modern world has strayed lightyears away from the lifestyle that humans have adapted to over millions of years. Even though we live in big cities surrounded by super-intelligent gadgets, our bodies and brains still belong to a hunter-gatherer tribe. If we desire a fuller and happier life, we must first understand what we were designed for.
