Dear Kelley,

Vitamins and minerals are so important that health fails if you don't get a steady supply of them. Do you know what you can do to make sure your body gets enough of all the vitamins and minerals it needs? Or how these nutrients lower the risk of diseases, including stroke, diabetes, and cancers?

You can find out in Vitamins and Minerals, a Special Health Report from the doctors at Harvard Medical School. This instructive and empowering report will give you a practical understanding of the roles these nutrients play in protecting health and preventing illness.

Does vitamin A lower the risk of developing cataracts? Does potassium help lower blood pressure? Can vitamin C prevent colds? The report will give you the facts — and dispel the myths. (The answers, by the way, are yes, yes, and, unfortunately, no.)

Each of Harvard's 50+ Special Health Reports brings you information you can use to take charge of your health. Vitamins and Minerals is no exception. The report will show you how you can improve and strengthen your daily diet to include the complete spectrum of nutrients — and do it without the expense or risk of multivitamins or multimineral supplements.

That's right. A smart, healthy diet, with delicious and wholesome foods, is the best and safest way to fulfill your body's needs for vitamins and minerals. The report will show you which foods are the best sources of these nutrients. For example, did you know that potatoes have 50% more potassium per serving than bananas? Or that the best source for vitamin C is not citrus fruit but red sweet peppers?

The report will also introduce you to fifty super-foods that deliver the most nutrients per calorie. You'll be briefed on eight ways to squeeze the most nutritional benefit from the foods you prepare. And if you are worried that your diet isn't up to the challenge of delivering the vitamins and minerals you need, the report explores when and why some people need a daily supplement, and the best kind to take.

So be good to your body — and yourself. Order your copy of Vitamins and Minerals today.

To your good health,
