Every organism needs dietary minerals to ensure healthy living and support the function of vital processes. Our bodies CANNOT produce these vital elements (minerals) and must therefore acquire them through dietary intake. We need minerals in order for our body to do many of its daily functions. Minerals can be obtained through nutrient dense food, unfortunately the problem today with our food chain is they are quite void due to the anemic soils that have been stripped of minerals. Minerals play many vital roles, working synergistically with vitamins, enzymes, hormones and other nutrient cofactors to regulate literally thousands of the body’s biological functions.
Minerals are inorganic elements. Minerals cannot be produced or synthesized, by plants or animals. Minerals are essential for health. By far the body’s two most abundant minerals are calcium and phosphorus, which together comprise of approximately 75 percent of the entire body mineral make-up. Minerals have two basic functions of the body—building and regulating. Minerals build skeletal and soft tissues, and they regulate processes such as heartbeat, blood clotting, internal fluid pressure, nerve response and oxygen transport. Research shows there are 90 essential Nutrients needed for the human body. Of those essential nutrients 60 are Minerals.
“No cellular functions can be produced correctly if the body isn’t receiving all the minerals and trace elements the metabolism needs… It so happens that all degenerative disease originate, to one degree or another, in a severe mineral depletion of the body.”
