Minerals and You
Minerals are important to our health and well being.
So much so in fact, that if we had none in our body's system, quite frankly our body would die!
So, just what are they?
Calcium.
Chloride.
Magnesium.
Phosphorus.
Potassium.
Sodium.
Sulfur.
Marilyn and I know you’re time is valuable so we’ll cut to the chase.
Answering the question, they're an inorganic chemical element that the body needs for healthy growth and metabolism.
They're also involved in making hormones and enzymes.
These elements are just as important as vitamins, and in fact they work together with your vitamins to perform many important bodily functions such as bone formation, heart function and digestion.
Many of these are naturally brought into the food chain of plants and animals through the soil, and the inorganic chemical element content of soil varies from region to region, often leached out through poor farming methods.
Some experts believe that the soil in many agricultural areas is so depleted of these vital nutrients that natural supplements are necessary to ensure the body gets its adequate supply of these natural, yet essential elements.
I'd like to explain that the distinction between minerals and trace elements are simply the daily amount that your body needs.
If you need over 100 mg of a particular element it is considered a min-er-al - or macro-min-er-al.
Anything less, and it's considered a trace element.
