The Answer: That should be easy to answer but more often than not we neglect our health until the aches and pains force us to take notice. When the pain limits our actions then we start looking for answers. Below are other reasons why good health is important to you.
* Good health is normal. Pain is not the "normal" condition of the body.
* Increasing hospital and drug costs.
* Poor health affects your behavior and your self-esteem.
* Poor health limits our ability to do what we like and can affect your family.
* Poor health also affects your employment, your effectiveness, maybe even lost wages .

This Week: The Value of Minerals (below) Continue reading and visit our various links. To Your Health!
Minerals and Your Health:
Your body is made-up of many different building blocks such as proteins, vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, minerals, electrolytes and a whole list of others. Unfortunately, the way our food is grown, processed, and cooked many of the important basic elements like vitamins and minerals never make into our bodies from the food that we eat. Of course it helps to eat the right types fo foods but we will have to save this for another week.
Alert!! Mineral Deficiency at the Core of Most Health Challenges
"Are you aware that many, if not most of the people in the Western world are suffering from a mineral and vitamin deficiency? Are you also aware that it is impossible to correct this problem by eating a healthy diet?"
"Modern farming practices have reduced the soil's ability to produce nutritious food. Pesticides and fertilizers may boost a farmer's yield, but these toxic chemicals can also destroy vital microorganisms that break down and release minerials and other nutrients found in fertile soil...." This above alert was reported to the U.S. Senate by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture in 1936.
Other Comments:
Dr. Edith M. Carlisle "discovered that calcium and vitamin D alone are not sufficient for bone growth, density, strength, and flexibility. She noted in various studies, that with advancing age silica disappears from the aorta. ...this deficiency in dietary silica is an important...risk factor for osteoporosis and osteopenia."
Other research shows the importance of minerals in relation to enzymes. Because enzymes are catalysts they cause reactions. Some break down (lysis) and others put things together (synthesis) but these reactions require certain minerals to take place.
Also a number of electrolytes are essential in regulatory buffering to maintain a healthy pH. Also note that "dietary mineral deficiencies can cause cramps, 'Charlie horses', ...muscle spasms, etc."
All of the above comments come from the clinical studies reporting the importance of minerals in the body.
