Pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. This included the benefits of vitamin C for increasing your immunity, and the importance of vitamins A and D, which he described as "actually hormones." Vitamin C, he said, was "phenomenally powerful" for staving off disease and should be taken in high dosages. But, he said, those doses should be staggered throughout the day. That's because vitamin C can cause gastric distress and diarrhea in high concentrations. Fuchs also discussed the importance of vitamin D, which he said can help ward off cancers, including skin cancer. Ironically, he noted, though the body can produce its own vitamin D with adequate sunlight, a lot of that production is blocked by the use of sunscreens, which some folks use due to fears of skin cancer.

Statins, which are often prescribed to help control cholesterol levels, also have a negative impact on the body's ability to produce vitamin D, according to Ben. He also discussed the importance of minerals, like zinc and calcium. But, he noted, we have a lot of calcium in our diets from dairy, which he said can throw off the balance between magnesium and calcium. Leafy greens are a good way of replacing that magnesium, he said. "Anywhere you see green in nature, you're seeing magnesium," he said. He also touched on selenium deficiencies, which can lead to cold sores, and the importance of drinking more water and taking in fewer calories. Drinking water with your meals can help reduce your caloric intake because it helps make you feel less hungry, he said. But drinking too much water can flush out water-soluble vitamins, like thiamine – a B vitamin – which helps with cognitive function.
