  • Summary

  • This episode discusses the importance of nutrition for movement and how vegetarians can ensure their diet contains all of the necessary nutrients. They discuss the importance of micronutrients, specifically calcium and vitamin D3, in maintaining healthy bones and hormone production. They also discuss how vitamin D deficiency can cause immune system problems. Furthermore, the episode delves into the myths and fears surrounding supplements, and how they can be a valuable addition to a person's diet if they are not getting enough of a certain nutrient from natural sources. Dr. Santosh, the guest, discusses the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in seeds and nuts, and the benefits they have for the heart. He also discusses the importance of iodine for the thyroid gland and how simple it is to obtain it by using high-quality iodized salt. He also suggests that busy people in cities get their B12 by taking a fortified whey protein supplement. The hosts also talk about how supplements aren't meant to replace natural sources, but rather to supplement people who aren't meeting their daily requirement goals.
