Minerals
Minerals are naturally occurring elements found in the earth, fragmented by erosion,
passed from the soil to plants by microbes and then consumed for proper cell function and
structure. Minerals are necessary for proper composition
of body fluids, the formation of blood and bone, maintenance of healthy nerve function,
and the regulation of muscle tone. They function as coenzymes, enabling energy production,
growth, and healing.
All enzyme activities involve minerals and therefore are essential for proper
utilization of vitamins and other co-factors that maintain proper chemical
balance.
Mineral deficiencies are common because of the depleted soils used for years of
harvesting. crops, leaching of the soils by irrigation and erosion, poor dietary habits
resulting from the shift toward mineral deficient fast-foods and away from mineral rich
raw fruits and vegetables. Minerals are grouped into two categories:
Bulk Minerals (Macrominerals) because they
are needed in larger quantities and include calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium,
phosphorus.
Trace Minerals (Microminerals) which are needed in smaller amounts, but are
equally as important for good health and proper body function and include boron, chromium,
copper, germanium, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, silicon, sulfur,
vanadium, and zinc.
