Sue sighed with pleasure as she surveyed her dinner plate. The pungent cheese sauce on tender-crisp broccoli… magnificent. Turkey – cooked to perfection – moist, bursting with flavor. Sweet potatoes to die for. And last but not least, a salad that could have won first prize at any County Fair. Perfection. Colorful.
All of it not only tastefully cooked and served but so good for you, she could almost see the vitamins and minerals marching in-step across her plate. No doubt about it – meals like this made healthy, strong bodies – providing a boat load of vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
But do they really?
Healthy Meals – Healthy Bodies?
According to the U.S. Senate Document 264 published in 1936, “Laboratory tests prove that the fruits, the vegetables, the grain, the eggs and even the milk and meat of today are not what they were a few generations ago.” Sound familiar
There’s conclusive evidence that our farm and range soils are almost devoid of the necessary minerals we need. The World Health Organization reported that studies have shown that our soils have 95% less of the same minerals they had a hundred years ago. If these minerals are not in our soil, they can’t be in our food. If they’re not in our food – no matter how good the meal, our body’s requirement for vitamins and minerals will not be met.
Minerals – Just How Important Are They?
Dr. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel Prizes stated, “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”
U.S. Senate Document 264 seems to agree – according to them … ‘mineral intake is more important to our health than vitamins.’
Vitamins, as well as many other nutrients, play a part in our health, but minerals provide the foundation by stabilizing vitamins so they can do their work. Without vitamins our bodies can still use the minerals, but without minerals vitamins are useless. Minerals are responsible for creating and maintaining a healthy environment within our bodies which will allow the other nutrients, such as vitamins, to do their job.
Your Body – Your Home…
Your body requires good quality proteins and minerals as it rebuilds itself cell by cell every eleven months. What kind of tools and nutrition are you giving your body so it can rebuild strong, healthy cells, for a strong, healthy you?
Think of your body as a beautiful home you’ve been given. It’s your responsibility to keep everything up-to-date and in good working order in this home.
One day you decide you want to add an extension to your master bedroom. You hire a contractor and give him all the details of your new addition. You can’t wait for the project to start – you’ve already planned out exactly what you’re going to do with the extra space.
Next day the contractor’s crew show up and start building the outer walls of your new room. You can’t help yourself but peek out the window every half hour just to see how it’s coming along.
Somewhere around the third hour you notice they’re ready to raise the first outer wall. You lean forward to get a better look. Your eyes open wide, you blink, you rub them, and look again. Surely you’re not seeing things right. You decide to step outside and take a better look.
It looks even worse on closer inspection. Every single two by four in that wall is riddled full of holes.
“Looks like a drunken woodpecker made these two by fours,” you mutter under your breath.
You stare at them in dismay. There’s just no way this extension is going to be able to withstand the demands you’ll be making of it. First good storm and the stupid thing would topple like a stack of cards.
What kind of contractor would use such poor building materials? Only an idiot would dream of building anything with such structurally unsound building materials. You fire the contractor right on the spot.
Building home additions from riddled two by fours is no different than asking your body to perform its functions and rebuild healthy cells without the proper nutrients.
Starving on a Full Stomach? You May Need Minerals…
When thinking of restoring and maintaining health – building a structurally sound body – your mineral intake should be the first thing you look at. In fact, minerals play an extremely important role in all biological and psychological processes in our bodies. Without proper levels of minerals, our bodies and minds will have trouble functioning.
A good mineral supplement will supply your body with the nutrients it needs to create health as it rebuilds itself cell by cell.
The best part of your life starts today… Naturally
