This excerpt is from one of my favourite books by David Wolfe called "Superfoods". It's a great read and a wealth of knowledge. (http://www.davidwolfe.com) Here are a list of minerals that we need for our bodies to be the most effective!
Phosphorous - an energy "battery" mineral, needed to improve bone density.
Potassium - an energy "action" mineral
Magnesium - opens over 300 different detoxification pathways in the body.
Sulfer - primary beauty and longevity mineral
Calcium - relaxes the digestive tract and muscular system, removes toxins
Iron & Manganese - a blood builder and oxygenator
Sodium - balances potassium, feeds the adrenals
Silicon - a beauty mineral, needed to improve bone density
Copper - part of the vitamin C complex, reverses gray hair
Platinum - an enzymatic master mineral
Boron - assists with calcium assimilation, normalizes hormones during menopause
Nickel - plays a key role in enzyme metabolism
Tin - helps reverse male pattern baldness
Iodine - a thyroid mineral, reverses hypothyroidism
Chromium - a pancreatic mineral
Silver - an antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial mineral
Lithium - an alkaline, mood-improving mineral
Super fact of the day: Hempseed contains all of these minerals :)
