A Red Flag Issue

Everyone should be taking note of this. An article from 2002 in the Journal of the American Medical Association recommends that everyone take a daily multi-vitamin. Here’s why –

As few as 20% of adults eat the recommend daily number of servings of fruits and vegetables. I also found a study that says that the soil in the USA has suffered mineral depletion as high as 85%. This is a health crisis all by itself, because our bodies have been designed to get the minerals we need from plant matter. If the minerals aren’t in the soil, the plants won’t have them. You can see where this is going.

Focusing on minerals – here’s a sampling of what minerals do for us:

Boron – enhances the body’s ability to absorb calcium and magnesium
Calcium – strong bones, muscle and teeth, as well as heart activity
Magnesium – energy and strong bones
Chromium – carbohydrate metabolism
Copper – antioxidant protection, energy, red blood cell formation
Iodine – energy and thyroid gland support
Iron – energy, antioxidant protection, oxygen delivery to all parts of the body
Manganese – energy and antioxidant protection
Molybdenum – amino acid metabolism
Phosphorus – energy, bones and teeth
Selenium – antioxidant protection
Zinc – immune system, antioxidant protection, protein production

Will any vitamin or mineral supplement do the job? The answer is NO! The supplement has to mirror the way minerals are naturally found in fruits and vegetables. I’ll let you know what I’ve found in my next posting.
