| What Is The One Key To Maintaining Good Health? |  |
There is one key in all of us that keeps us healthy or
makes us ill! The Basics of life is Electrolytes!
What are electrolytes?
Why are they key to life?
Why do we need electrolytes?
What is an Electrolyte?
Electrolyte: A substance that dissociates into "ions" when
fused or in solution, thus becoming capable of conducting
electricity. In the body, the electrolytes play an essential
role in the workings of the cells and in maintaining fluid
balance and a normal acid-base balance. Simple language,
something you need in the right amounts to be healthy in
both mind and body, without them things can't work properly!
What keeps the electrical impulses going?
Our electrolytes are made up of 84 minerals and trace
minerals, which is our lifeblood nourishing all systems and
keeping each system and organ working in sync. When
the proper balance is NOT maintained illness happens.
Minerals conduct the electricity in our brain. Hence
electrolytes are minerals!
Think of minerals as the battery to your body, as the battery
is to your car. With out that battery in your car it is not going
to start or turn over the starter. Well, same thing with your
body with one slight difference. That difference is that your
body can function on partial battery power for a longer
period of time, where the car will not. Your car may just
up and not start one day, but your body will keep going with
minor interruptions here and there that are ignored by most
until it develops serious problems.
If your body has inefficient amounts of Electrolytes in it
all kinds of things happen to you. First off, vitamin nutrients
cannot be absorbed into your system without the correct
amounts of electrolytes. When imbalance occurs small things
start to happen such as sluggish drained feeling, slight
depression, headaches, dry mouth, ever so slight dizziness,
occasional dry skin and dry hair. All of which are taxing your
body and slowly destroying different systems and organs.
Prolonged mineral imbalance creates a more exaggerated
tiredness (chronic fatigue syndrome), headaches (migraine,
tension), extreme dry skin, and dry hair, brittle nails,
depression, manic episodes, paranoia, seizures and
obesity. All of which are usually not recognized as a
mineral/vitamin problem. The drug companies have come up
with all kinds of little pills that claim to counteract these
symptoms when all that is usually needed is a constant daily
mineral and vitamin balance.
Why minerals?
Minerals are the electrolytes in our body that balances it
out and gives us a healthy mind and body, making our
bones and tendon strong enough to support our weight,
giving our brain the ability to function as it should.
"It is not commonly taught, but with the absence of mineral
balance vitamins have no function. Lacking vitamins, our system
can make use of the minerals, but lacking minerals, the vitamin
is useless." The human body can manufacture some vitamins,
such as B in the intestinal tract if the natural flora is balanced,
D from sunshine but the body cannot manufacture its own
minerals - they must be supplied by food, water and/or
supplements.
When adequate amounts are given our body that makes
for a strong healthy mind and body. When they are lacking,
disease sets in. Charles Northen, M.D. & Bernard Spur, M.D.
authors of " Know Your Nutrition."
"You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every
ailment to a mineral deficiency."
Linus Pauling, Ph. D (Two- time Nobel Prize winner)
Is colloidal or ionic minerals best?
There is a controversy raging around the universe on
that very question. I will give you what I learned through
research and experience and you make your decision.
What is the difference in ionic and colloidal?
Definition of colloidal: One large or several smaller clumped
molecules that are too large to penetrate the cell wall held in
suspension by a liquid.
Definition of Ionic: Smallest liquefied particle, which can enter
through the cell wall immediately.
"Many colloidal mineral supplement products contain high
concentrations of some minerals, but no independent analysis
can be found of any colloidal product out there that contains
significant levels of more than a dozen or so minerals."
States Alexander G. Schauss, PhD. Director of Life
Sciences Division, American Institute for Biosocial Research,
Inc., Tacoma WA.
Our blood plasma is made up of 84 minerals and trace minerals.
A long known fact is that the ocean contains the same exact
minerals as our blood plasma. The ocean is ionic consisting
of both "cations" and "anions." Is that a coincidence or what?
When deep-sea ocean water is treated properly a complete
mineral tonic is derived. A tonic that can be administered by IV
if need be.
A very easy and simple way to check your overall health is to
test the pH of your saliva and urine. pH testing papers can be
found in some pharmacies. This test shows if your body fluids
are either acidic, alkaline or within an acceptable range.
All regulatory systems in the body are constantly working to
keep the correct balance in the body. The acid-alkaline
balance regulates ones breathing, circulation, digestion,
elimination, hormonal production, immunity and much more.
Pure water is neutral with a pH balance of 7.0. Average pH
ranges of saliva and urine is 6.0 - 6.8. Anything below pH
6.3 would be too acidic and above 6.8 is too alkaline.
Author S. Whang in his book "Reverse Aging" states that,
"As long as there are sufficient amounts of alkaline minerals
in the body, poisonous acids are neutralized. When there is
not adequate supply of calcium or other alkaline minerals in
the body, the body borrows calcium from bones to survive."
The Alkaline minerals include sodium, potassium, calcium,
magnesium and others.
So for strong bodies, mind and organs mineral and vitamin
BALANCE is a must!
