There are minerals all around us. In rocks, in the ground and in our food. There are good minerals and there are bad minerals. Like anything else, to much of a good thing can do more harm than good. There are minerals that our bodies just do not need.
In today’s world we seem to be getting more of the minerals that we our bodies do not need and a whole lot less of the minerals that we do need.
It has been a well known fact that if you lack certain minerals, a specific disease will most likely be the outcome. If your body does not get enough iron, you will end up with anemia. If your body does not get enough iodine, you could end up with goiter. Not eating right or not eating the right stuff can lead to your body not getting enough minerals to actually keep you healthy.
When your body gets a virus or should we just say gets sick, the blood in circulating around in that vast network of arteries and veins goes through a big change. The amount of such minerals like magnesium, copper and zinc dramatically changes. This may be why you feel weak when you get sick. Minerals play an important role in keeping your immune system up to par. Changes in the amount of these in the body are a definite link to how strong your immune system is.
With ever increasing things like heart disease, diabetes, cancer and others, a look at how much mineral content you take in and of what minerals are consumed could play a huge part in preventing these diseases.
Nutrition is always something to be looked at when someone gets a disease. Did they have the right amount of the right stuff in their diet to help prevent this. A weak immune system can lead to a host of problems throughout a persons life. Most doctors are more concerned with the vitamins someone is getting. Minerals and vitamins go hand in hand together to make your immune system work well. The human body is set up to use both minerals and vitamins. They are an essential part of the bodies ability to heal after and/or during an illness.
Be sure to get enough of the right vitamins and enough of the right minerals in your diet to have a strong immune system. They work together to keep your body together.
