The problem is that unless we have already consciously chosen to do something about it, we are all lacking in minerals. Basically, because of the way food has been produced since the 1940's the soil has increasingly become depleted of minerals. And these much needed minerals are quite simply just not not in our food.
Put it this way, farmers know that if they want the best possible crops they will apply fertilizer that includes the 6 or 9 minerals that the plant needs (though often even this is cut back on!). Have you ever wondered why food just doesn't seem to taste how it used to? When was the last time you had a fresh tomato that burst with flavour and sweetness? Guess what is missing????
Thing is, the human body doesn't need 6 or 9 minerals, it needs around 60 minerals to function properly and support good health. And to put it as plainly as I can... if we do not have sufficient of all these minerals (they are not call essential for nothing) it WILL have a major impact on our health.
Magnesium has been identified as one of the key minerals we need but is often deficient. From memory, it is needed for some 600 different processes in the body. And I have to say that magnesium deficiency has been linked with all the problems mentioned here.
Sorry if I sound melodramatic but this really is important. The frustrating thing is that there been multiple studies... published over decades... that have consistently proven that mineral deficiency is a major health problem, and is even the cause of many of the modern aliments we have to contend with nowadays.
Shame we are not all told about all this, huh?
