Minerals
Nutrition brings vitamins and minerals. The
minerals are essential for us to keep our organism in good health.
|
 Minerals
are necessary for very many enzymes intervening in the chemical reactions of our
metabolism. Some minerals are essential to the correct
working of our cells.
Our cells are permanently attacked by the
stress, tiredness, overwork, annoyance, diseases. Moreover, our organism permanently produces oxygenated free radicals (O.F.R.) which are bad for our cells. Fortunately, two systems fight against these
radicals called enzymatic (activity controlled by the availability of copper, manganese, zinc or selenium) and nonenzymatic (antioxidant
s of which the vitamin E and
C).
Consequently, it's very important to have a daily contribution of these minerals
thanks to a balanced nutrition. Ageing could also result, from a reduction with the time from the effectiveness from our immune
system
to defend us, related to an insufficient minerals contribution and vitamins.
Medicine often associates several of these elements because their combination has beneficial
effects on health:
- Lithium alone or manganese/cobalt or
manganese/copper, for the people in depressive
condition.
- Manganese/cobalt, for painful and irregular periods.
- Copper/gold/silver or manganese/copper, to fight against tiredness.
- Zinc/nickel/cobalt, to prevent hunger, prescribed for reducing diets.
To fight the retention of water.
- Fluorine acts on the state of the teeth which are then more resistant to the decays, and
also for the bones.
