….. did you know that without certain minerals in your diet that you can gain weight, prematurely gray and produce wrinkles?
A word on the importance of MINERALS: Vitamins cannot effectively work in our bodies without the correct balance of minerals. We grew up hearing that we must get our vitamins and to “eat our greens” But did you know without certain minerals consumed in our diet that blood production, bone growth, organ function, and vessel stability would be altered? In other words a well balanced diet must be eaten. For example; calcium is needed for vitamin “C” utilization, zinc for vitamin “A”, magnesium for “B” complex vitamins, selenium for vitamin “E” absorption, etc.
Acne, Healing Foods for nutritional therapy will benefit you.
Vitamins C and Vitamin E are antioxidants that effectively work against free radicals in order to protect the body’s cells.
- Vitamin B1 Thiamine: ENERGY, controls fxn of heart, muscle, nervous system.
- Vitamin B2 Riboflavin: Growth, reproduction, produces RBC.
- Vitamin. B3 Niacin Digestive system, skin and nerves.
- Vitamin. B5 pantothenic acid: Metabolism Food, and formation of hormones.
- Vitamin B6 Pryidoxine: Immune system, nerve fxn, RBC. Too little B6 in the diet can cause dizziness, nausea, confusion, irritability and convulsions. Critical for protein rxn’s.
- Vitamin B9 folate/folic acid: RBC, nervous system, creates and forms DNA, brain fxn, spinal fluid. cell growth, developing baby growth in utero.
- Vitamin B12: RBC, maintains central nervous system.
