Water and Minerals equals Life, Health, Beauty & Fitness

All of our bodies are essentially 70% water and 30% Minerals - I was surprised to learn an interesting fact about vitamins - their chief role in the body is the appropriation of ......you guessed it - Minerals - So if you are mineral deficient those Vitamins do not have a whole lot to do and are often NOT used by the body - that adds up to a major waste of money when you consider the millions spent on vitamin supplements every year.

So we are all 70% water and 30% mineral. Now most of us do not drink the water we need, I have been making a determined effort to drink more than 2 litres per day and it can be difficult. As for Minerals well I can safely say that the vast majority of us are mineral deficient. How can I be so sure? Well many tests prove it but also common sense tells me so.

Think about this......we are supposed to get our minerals from the foods we eat and the water we drink. Now the food is most often processed - processing removes between 75 and 90% of all minerals!! If the food is not processed, in other words if it is fresh out the ground then you would think we'd be OK right? - Wrong! Intensive farming methods over the last century, along with the chemicals, acid rain etc has drastically reduced the level of minerals in the soil. Now a plant can oftentimes synthesize a vitamin - or so my research says - do not ask me how the plant does this, I have no clue - BUT interestingly no plant can synthesize a mineral. So there you have it - fresh or processed - you get very few minerals these days - I still think fresh food is better!

As for water - we love our bottled water these days don't we. Here is the thing - most bottled water is just water, there are no minerals, no nothing in it! We like it so clean and pure that it does not do the things it is supposed to. Now fresh water comes to us from mountain streams etc - years ago nearly everyone drank from a river. Picture the water being filtered through the rocks of some mountain and spilling out in the form of a stream, flowing down to the village where our great great grandparents used to live - What do you think the water had collected along its journey? - You got it - Minerals!!

So we are still 70% water, if we drink enough and we are still 30% minerals if we get enough of them - How about you? Are you registering that 70/30 split? - I am trying hard to but it is a struggle these days.

Remember a Mineral deficient body is more prone to a whole host of diseases and conditions, it is likely to be pH acidic which again makes pain and disease more likely. A body with a balanced pH is a healthy body. A body with an Acidic pH is an ageing, disease prone and painful body.

Guess what is a key ingredient in the body's fight to balance pH? - You got it - Minerals!!

So what do you think - can we afford to be mineral deficient?
How can you avoid it in this modern world?
