Understanding Minerals and Your Health
Let's talk about why minerals are so important for staying healthy. Just like you need different ingredients to bake a cake, your body needs different minerals to work properly. Scientists have found that we need 60 different minerals every day to stay healthy and strong.
Two important scientists, Dr. Joel Wallach and Dr. Linus Pauling, discovered something really interesting: mineral deficiencies are at the root of all common health problems. When people don't get enough minerals, they get sick. It's like trying to build a house without all the necessary materials - it just doesn’t work.
The best minerals for our bodies come from plants. Plants are like natural factories that take minerals from the soil and turn them into a form our bodies can easily use.
Here's the problem: Studies show that the nutritional value of produce has declined significantly over the past 50 years, with some vegetables containing up to 80% fewer minerals than they did in the 1940s. Intensive farming, erosion, and the use of chemical fertilizers have stripped our soil of its natural mineral content, meaning that even organically grown produce lacks the essential minerals our bodies need. Even if you eat lots of healthy foods, you will not get all the minerals your body needs.
Perhaps most importantly, these minerals work best when they are all taken together in the right amounts. The natural balance found in plant-derived minerals provides this optimal ratio, supporting the body's complex systems in harmony. Scientists found a special place in Utah where there are lots of these plant minerals that formed millions of years ago, kind of like buried treasure!
These minerals help our bodies in many ways:
- They help our nerves send messages
- They keep our bones strong
- They help our hearts beat normally
- They help our muscles work
- They keep our immune system strong to fight off sickness
That's why many people take mineral supplements. These supplements contain all 60 minerals your body needs each day. People who take them daily say they:
- Have more energy
- Think more clearly
- Sleep better
- Get sick less often
- Feel healthier overall
Taking minerals is like giving your body the right tools it needs to stay healthy. To ensure you're getting all 60 essential minerals daily, supplementation in the form of capsules, liquid minerals, or mineral powder is crucial for optimal health.
Remember: Your body is amazing, but it needs the right minerals to work its best. Making sure you get all your minerals is one of the most important things you can do for your health!
