The Importance of Trace Mineral Benefits and Nutrition

First you must ask what are Trace min­er­als and;

  1. Do I need them?
  2. If so, am I get­ting enough of them?
  3. What are the qual­ity sources?

To answer the first ques­tion, Trace Min­er­als are the source of much con­tro­versy as to which ones we need and how much.   The major rea­son for this con­tro­versy is Genetic Vari­a­tion.  Every sin­gle per­son absorbs min­er­als dif­fer­ently. If the Body requires less then 100 mil­ligrams daily of a par­tic­u­lar min­eral, it is labled a trace min­eral. Min­er­als are inor­ganic ele­ments and com­pounds that your body must have to func­tion and must be con­sumed in order to be used.  Vit­a­mins on the other side are organic com­pounds which the body not only needs, but many can be pro­duced by the body itself.  Vit­a­mins and Min­er­als com­bine within the body to become enzy­matic pro­teins.   Enzymes are the func­tional work­horses of the body.

If you ever get sick or come down with bouts of acne or fatigue from time to time, you are not get­ting enough of var­i­ous trace min­er­als the body requires to pro­duce the enzymes the body needs to func­tion.  Because so lit­tle is used, the body can become very sick when there is a defi­ciency. If all you con­sume is processed food, the lik­li­hood of devel­op­ing a defi­ciency is very high.  Also if you con­sume high amounts of sugar, you are chang­ing the way your body uses and absorbs these minerals.

Some­thing is ter­ri­bly wrong with the Food Sup­ply and it must be fixed

Food Incor­po­rated  is a must see movie for everyone

Here in Santa Bar­bara, Cal­i­for­nia, one of the Worlds Cap­i­tals of Health Con­scious­ness …  This movie was stopped from play­ing only days after open­ing in the the­ater.  Food Inc. is a pow­er­ful mov­ing and true doc­u­men­tary.  There are parts of the Food Indus­try that are doing every­thing in their power to cen­sor this movie.  Buy this movie and send it to every­one you know for Christ­mas as a stock­ing stuffer.  Get the word out!!! 

We live in a world bom­barded by taste sen­sa­tions cre­ated by chem­i­cals cre­ated from the break­down of indi­vid­ual food com­po­nents that is lit­er­ally killing us slowly.  This process is occur­ring bite by bite and meal by meal.  The Food Indus­try has become even more pow­er­ful then gov­ern­ment agen­cies in their quest to increase the bot­tom line.

I remem­ber look­ing at a big chicken in the Super­mar­ket and say­ing that is one old chicken.  You know the chick­ens they label roast­ers.  Now we have come to find out they are breed­ing them to be so fat they can barely walk and they are grow­ing roaster chick­ens faster then the old types of chicken.  This is when we have entered what I call the “Man play­ing GOD with a small g” zone.

E. Coli is a man made prob­lem cre­ated by force-feeding cat­tle corn, when they are meant to eat grass.  Our diet, which is rich in meats, is out of bal­ance based on the huge sub­si­dies given to the food indus­try through our tax­payer dol­lars that make cheap unhealthy fast food cheaper then nutri­ent dense veg­eta­bles.   We must return to the con­cept of cook­ing on the week­end and spread­ing the meal through the week if we are to live a long healthy life.

Liv­ing in a house with only frozen food and a few knick knacks in the refrig­er­a­tor is not a sta­tus sym­bol of suc­cess indi­cat­ing that you don’t cook.  It is an unwise admis­sion of igno­rance to the impor­tance food plays in your life and your health.

Is Red Meat Good for You?

Steak

 

Always Buy Organic Grass Fed Beef

Red Meat with beef in par­tic­u­lar is an energy dense food that is jam packed with nutri­tion in a small pack­age.   This means that it should be eaten in mod­er­a­tion. It has a full com­ple­ment of B vit­a­mins, min­er­als and amino acids.  There are 12 cuts of Red Meat that have less sat­u­rated fat then chicken.  I have heard and read a lot about the ben­e­fits of being a Veg­e­tar­ian. For the major­ity of us, being a Veg­e­tar­ian is not prac­ti­cal because of the spec­trum of nutri­ents the body requires.  For exam­ple, how many of us want to forgo the fat we need in our diet cur­rently obtained through red meat for nuts and avo­ca­dos. To be a healthy veg­e­tar­ian requires an inor­di­nate amount of time spent in shop­ping, prepa­ra­tion and con­sump­tion of large var­ied and highly per­ish­able meals. In many instances you would have to eat pounds of Veg­eta­bles and nuts for the healthy ben­e­fits con­tained in 1/3 of a pound of red meat.  There­fore, let’s dis­cuss the ben­e­fits of Organic grass fed Red Meat and why it is good for you in moderation.

How to Build your Personal Army of Antioxidants

Hunting Down Free Radicals

Hunt­ing Down Free Radicals

 

Build A Per­sonal Stand­ing Army of Antioxidants

How do Antiox­i­dants pro­tect us?

Oxy­gen the largest com­po­nent of the body by weight does one of two things.  It either oxy­genates your cells to pro­vide the energy needed for the body to run or it oxi­dizes your cells and kills them.  To pre­vent this from hap­pen­ing, the body requires Antioxidants.

Oxi­da­tion is all around us in dif­fer­ent forms. Rust on untreated steel, food spoilage (Brow­ing Food), and aging struc­tures to name but a few exam­ples that you see every­day.  All aging and obe­sity is directly linked to oxi­da­tion in the body caused by free rad­i­cals.  Free rad­i­cal dam­age is cumu­la­tive which is why it is impor­tant to neu­tral­ize them as quickly as pos­si­ble.  This is why you lit­er­ally need a stand­ing army to fight these rad­i­cals.  An army of Antiox­i­dants can lit­er­ally neu­tral­ize free rad­i­cals as they form.

Learn Why Fruits, Veg­eta­bles and Water are More Then Just A Lit­tle Important

You hear about them on TV. You read about them in mag­a­zines and papers. Every­where you go, you will see Free Rad­i­cals men­tioned some­where dur­ing the day.  There is a war going on and the ter­ror­ist are in your body.  Are you start­ing to become con­cerned  about your wrin­kles or have age spots become a new con­cern.  These seem­ingly benign prob­lems are signs of how well your war is going with Free Rad­i­cals.  Free Rad­i­cals are the pri­mary cause of aging and they must be neu­tral­ized. What are these lit­tle crit­ters and why are they so dangerous?
