The Importance Of Trace Minerals In Your Body.
As the name implies, trace minerals are minerals required in very small quantities each day. Don't underestimate the importance just because you don't need a lot of them. You cannot continue to be healthy without them.
If you're taking a compound or chelated (pill form) trace mineral supplement you may be getting less than 20% of what it says on the bottle. That's because your body is unable to process pills any more than that. However, liquid trace mineral supplements are water-soluble which means you will get almost 100% of what it says on the bottle. That's because water-soluble supplements are so easily absorbed.
Below are some of the trace minerals and what they do.
Selenium " This mineral protects your body from disease and works to keep you healthy. It will control free radical cell damage and it strengthens your immune system. It also prevents the formation of dangerous blood clots in your body. You can find selenium in fish, grains, and some nuts.
Chromium - is found in grape and orange juice, whole grains and broccoli. It's also another miracle mineral that will lower or prevent high blood pressure, diabetes, and hypoglycemia. That's because it helps break down carbohydrates fat, protein and sugars.
Zinc - is in oysters, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, dairy products, and nuts. Although most famous for its ability to fight off the common cold, sore throats and other infections, this mineral also helps with healing and infectious diarrhea. Two types of people most at risk for a zinc deficiency are breast-feeding mothers and alcoholics. These two types are at usually at least 50% deficient.
Copper - you wouldn't know it if you looked at a penny, but copper is very important for healthy bone growth, carrying oxygen and nervous system functions, as well as the production of healthy skin color and collagen (good for flawless skin). Sources of Copper are whole grains, cherries, oysters, leafy green vegetables, dark chocolate, nuts, fruits, and poultry.
Boron -is in prunes, tomatoes, pears, raisins and apples, Boron could also be called the great regulator because of its ability to regulate calcium, magnesium and phosphorus as well as gender specific hormones so they work to their full potential. It even keeps the brain and memory healthy and prevents arthritis.
Sulfur " This mineral ensures the oxygen that is necessary for brain function is provided, as well as controlling bacterial infections. Sulfur is necessary for healthy skin, nails, and hair. It is also needed for stable energy levels and it is the building block to amino acids that are very important. Sulfur can be found in fish, eggs, onions, garlic, and cabbage.
Trace minerals are essential to your body allowing it to remain healthy, vibrant, energized, and more youthful. Lack of the appropriate trace minerals can lead to illness. Take liquid trace minerals and relax knowing that you have done the right thing to enhance overall health. - 17269
