What do minerals do? Minerals are necessary for the function of your cells...and remember: You are only as healthy as your cells. Minerals are needed for proper composition of body fluids, the formation of blood and bone, healthy nerve function, activating enzymes, maintaining muscle tone including heart muscle, balancing pH levels, and are involved with energy production, growth, and repair.
Where do minerals come from? One of the best sources of minerals are rocks. Now think about that...would you pick up a rock, a piece of coral, or an oyster shell, and eat it? Yet, we will grind it up, put it in a capsule and expect our digestive system to break it down and utilize it. We were not made to eat rocks! The plant roots go deep into the soil and take up the minerals there. Then we eat the plants to provide our minerals. We need to get our minerals from an organic...or living...source.
The other problem with these rock mineral supplements is that they are processed with industrial chemicals. Dr. Robert Thiel has some excellent information on his website: www.doctorsresearch,.com.
How do I provide my body with enough minerals? First, eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. The best source of minerals is real food! If you need extra minerals, make sure you get them from a plant source. Herbs such as alfalfa, dandelion, kelp, and spirulina, are very high in trace minerals. Red algae is a great source of calcium...and one that is easily absorbed by the body.
Make sure your minerals come from an organic source...not rocks!
