I thought i would start to tell you all about Minerals, and if anyones intrested i can start adding more to it.
i have been drinking an assortment of 75 plant derived minerals for about a month now and i feel alive again, much more energy and my brain is working again not just overloaded like it was.
To keep everthing upfront i have now become a independant dealer for these but do not worry i will not try to sell them to you all,(unless you want me to :D :D ) but i wanted you to be able to benifit from these too, anyway read on and please ask questions i am no expert but i do know they have made me feel better.
WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT MINERALS?
· Why are minerals so important to our health and well-being?
Minerals play a major role in every electrical, chemical and hormonal impulse that occurs in your body. Without minerals vitamins cannot be absorbed by the body.
You need at least 70 different minerals in your diet every day for proper bodily function. Without these minerals degenerative diseases may occur.
Dr. Linus Pauling, the only person to ever be awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine twice, stated that every single major and minor de-generative disease that we can possibly suffer from in life, is traceable back to one type of mineral deficiency or another.
· Where do we get minerals from?
Our bodies are designed to obtain these minerals from fruit and vegetables, that in turn get them from the soil. When any plant grows, it absorbs metallic minerals from the soils and during the stages of photosynthesis they change to hydrophilic (plant derived minerals). However, due to modern farming practices, the soil is gradually being depleted of its mineral content.
In 1936 the American Government warned all Americans to start supplementing their diets with minerals because the American farmlands had become severely mineral deficient due to over farming. If people didn't take heed of this warning, they predicted that in 50 to 60 years time degenerative diseases caused by mineral deficiencies would reach epidemic proportions. We are now more than 60 years on and this has happened worldwide because the same deficiency in farm soils occurs everywhere.
It only takes 3 to 5 years of using the same piece of land for it to be almost completely stripped of its minerals. Due to millions of years of wind and rain erosion and several hundred years of unwise agricultural practices, farmers cannot afford to crop rotate and leave their best growing fields to rest for the amount of time it would take for the minerals to return. They are only paid to put three minerals back - Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (NPK). This increases the yield and size of the crop. That leaves us about 67 short every day. This has a cumulative affect on our bodies and is building up problems for the future.
· Minerals & Longevity
There are cultures on earth today where people routinely live to be over 100 years old, and are still healthy and vital. These cultures have virtually no degenerative diseases. The main thing they have in common with each other is that they all live in high altitudes where the rivers are fed by glaciers. The glaciers grind up the bedrock and deposit it, along with its minerals into the rivers. The vital factor is that these cultures all wash and cook with this water, but more importantly they flood their fields with it each year. This replaces all the minerals in the land that the crops have taken out. They have no mineral deficiencies and therefore no mineral deficiency related degenerative diseases.
· What can I do about it?
Take plant derived mineral supplements. Minerals should NEVER be taken in a single format (e.g. just calcium) as they all work together. E.g. if you take calcium supplements, the body cannot utilise it without magnesium and so, instead, it gets deposited in the joints and arterial walls. Make sure you use a balanced formulation.
