Trace Minerals

Throughout history, minerals were crucial to the growth and success of civilizations. From the iron spear to the silicon chip, elements of the earth have influenced the fate of nations. Today, we’re beginning to appreciate the importance of minerals to the growth and health of the human body – especially in light of so many new challenges to our health. It’s no surprise then that trace minerals are in great demand; after all, our lives depend on them. Due to denatured soils and the widespread use of agricultural chemicals, food plants now contain fewer essential minerals. These precious elements of health are our real wealth.
Minerals – the Foundation of Life
As human beings, we are profoundly connected with our world. The elements of this earth become the minerals essential to every cell in the body. The millions of chemical reactions occurring within us each second – as molecules are continually broken down and rebuilt into necessary forms – cannot take place without enzymes; and enzymes can’t work unless they’re activated by the right mineral or vitamin. For example, magnesium is the activator mineral for over 300 different metabolic enzymes that facilitate the biochemical processes of life. Most of us are familiar with the minerals that are found in significant quantities in our bodies. We’re aware of the importance of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. There are, however, other minerals that we need in minute quantities called “trace minerals.” Though less understood, research is revealing the vital role they have in the overall structure and function of the human body. Many people are recognizing the need to supplement their diets with trace minerals such as copper, zinc, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, iodine, selenium, silver, and boron.
Modern Agriculture and Mineral Deficiencies
Minerals cannot be produced by the human body and therefore must be obtained from the diet. However, intense agriculture has depleted the soil of most essential minerals, returning only a few used in fertilizers to stimulate rapid plant growth: nitrogen, phosphorus,and potassium. Consequently few people get anywhere near a hundred percent of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) of minerals (and these RDAs are only the minimum amount needed to avoid a full-blown deficiency condition).

Super Antioxidents

Immune System: The immune system is a series of interlocking functions, tissues, and cells that protect your health by responding quickly to outside influences. Immune system components addressed include the skin and mucous membranes, cellmediated immunity involving T-lymphocytes and thymus support, and humoral immunity consisting of Blymphocytes and macrophage interactions. Astragalus, boneset, echinacea, isatis, propolis, selenium, zinc, vitamins A & C, and beta carotene all support the immune system. Astragalus, bioflavonoids, hawthorn, pau d’arco, selenium, zinc, vitamins A & C, and beta carotene support antioxidant defense.
Some ways to keep an immune system strong is by eating a well-balanced healthy diet. Also, adding a a good vitamin/antioxident supplement such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, etc. will help build and sustain a strong immune system. Plenty of fluids, particularly soup, and preferably chicken soup as it seems to contain antibiotic properties. Vitamin rich drinks such as a vegetable or apple drinks will help. Grape juice, which contains tannins, is also recommended as it is supposed to help kill off viruses. Herbals such as Echinacea, garlic, peppermint are recommended, although it is always a good thing to check with a health care professional on these. These herbal supplements have been known to offer some relief when fighting a cold or flu.
Açaí is a potent Amazonian antioxidant. Açaí is a small purple fruit from a palm plant that grows primarily in the rain forests of Brazil. Indigenous Brazilians have used Açaí for thousands of years and believe that it has extraordinary nutritional properties. Açaí contains powerful antioxidants known as anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are easily recognizable by the coloring they give to plants with purple hues. At a time when our health is challenged by an unprecedented array of toxins, taking full advantage of the wealth of antioxidant protectors contained in plants is critical.
