Did you always wonder why TV commercials always mention vitamins and minerals? But come to think of it, when someone mentions minerals the first thing that comes in our mind is not food, right? Often times we think of minerals as something you find on earth like copper, iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc and a lot more. Well, let our website educate you everything about minerals. Vitamins alone cannot give you a good nutrition, of all the 90 essential nutrients our bodies require for optimum function and minerals are arguably the most important. Just like vitamins, minerals help our body to grow, develop and stay healthy but there are some things that vitamins can’t do and only minerals can. Minerals are use to build strong bones to transmitting nerve impulses, some even used to make hormones or maintain a normal heartbeat. Minerals after all are comprised of 60 to 90 essential nutrients; minerals per se are the group of nutrients most likely to be missing from the food we eat. For the only and most reason that plants can manufacture vitamins, essential amino acids and fatty acids but not minerals. This is because plants draw in minerals from the soil one tiny mineral at a time. But in an ideal world we would take in our daily requirement of minerals by eating plants that grows in a fertile soil, a soil that is rich in minerals and by eating animals that feed on those very same plants. That’s how we get our minerals but sadly though, commercial farming, cloning of vegetables, acid rain top soil erosion has manage to deplete our range and crop soils of most minerals. All these and more currents news and issues about minerals all yours as you flip on the pages of this site.
