Galaxy Nutritional Foods Dairy-Free Cheesecake Ice Cream:

Every organ in your body, including your brain, depends on healthy cells to function properly. Every cell has minute amounts of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Your body gets these vital elements when you eat and drink healthy foods and liquids. You also can obtain these elements through supplements, such as multi-vitamins. Without vitamins, minerals and amino acids, your body, including the brain, would cease to function properly. Good nutrition feeds the brain cells.
