supporting its underlying structure and function, which serve as the
foundation for our physical health.


You can get a glimpse of this massive underlying health foundation
if you take any single nutrient and look at everything it does in the
body. As an example, let’s take magnesium.


Magnesium is a co-factor in over 300 different enzymatic reactions.
These include many steps in the energy production cycle as well as
the synthesis of our DNA. Magnesium is also an important component
in bone structure and plays an important role in cell-to-cell com-
munication, especially that involving our nerve and muscle cells.
Without adequate amounts of magnesium, our bodies wouldn’t be
able to function properly, which can first lead to lowered energy and
then potentially progress to a variety of different signs, symptoms,
and health conditions when things aren’t working well. As you can
also see, it’s more complicated than simply saying that the role of
magnesium is to promote heart health or bone health, two claims
that are often associated with this mineral. Magnesium, like all other
nutrients, is needed in hundreds of different ways for support of our
underlying metabolic processes, and it is these underlying processes
that serve as the true foundation for our overall physical health.


You might think that this more comprehensive and holistic view of
health and nutrients would make nourishment more complicated.
But it’s actually the opposite! The true role of nutrients in your
health actually makes things much simpler.


That’s because the World’s Healthiest Foods are comprehensive and
