Minerals and the importance of correct body pH balance
CategoriesA friend from Canada just sent me the most interesting article on the importance of minerals and how the body's pH balance, if not correct, will prevent us from absorbing these vital elements. Minerals participate in many body processes and may actually be even of more basic importance than vitamins. Just as an example, at the bottom of vitamin B 12 (cobalamin) there is the mineral - cobalt.
"There are complex biochemical processes taking place in the body constantly in an attempt to keep blood pH as near perfect as possible. These are known as the pH buffering systems. These buffering systems need a good balance of minerals to work effectively. If we are getting inadequate mineral intake from the food we eat, we are going to start having problems with our pH balancing systems.
And if our pH is unbalanced, what is the result? Well, by now you should start having a good idea. Pick your disease, choose your unbalance. Cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, chronic fatigue, allergies, obesity, just name it. If you don't feel good, one of the basic things that stands between you and perfect health is your body's pH. Your basic metabolic body balance."
