Is Manganese Magic?

November 11, 2007 | Author earthquakie

Manganese is another trace element found in almost all living organisms. The name manganese is derived from the Greek word for magic. The name’s origin fits because scientists are still trying to understand the diverse effects on living organisms of manganese deficiency and toxicity.

This mineral plays an important role in the healthy development of cartilage and bone and the production of collagen used in wound healing. The metabolism of cholesterol, amino acids and carbohydrates is done by enzymes activated by manganese. Sex hormone production, enzyme activation and glucose metabolism are all affected by manganese. The brain, muscles, thyroid, nerves, and mammary glands are all influenced by enzymes associated with manganese if if not directly by manganese itself.

Manganese deficiencies may be indicated by dizziness, hearing loss, ear noises and muscle coordination problems.

Some foods that are rich in manganese are kelp, spinach, leafy vegetables, beets, nuts and whole grains. Note: As much as 75 percent of the manganese in wheat is lost when it it processed into flour.

While manganese may not be the cause of diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma, allergies, fatigue and epilepsy; it may help in the management of them.

Phosphorus Makes Good Bones

November 11, 2007 | Author earthquakie

I know you’ve been taught the importance of calcium for good bones but phosphorus is another of the 9 minerals that are used in your bones. 88% of the Phosphorus you have in your body is found in your bones. In addition to being an important part of your bone structure; the remaining 12% of the phosphorous in your body is used by your brain, heart, kidneys, nerves, and teeth.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the method used to deliver cellular energy. Phosphorous is a vital component in the structural framework of both RNA and DNA. Cell growth and repair uses phosphorous in the cell membrane. The calcium and sugar metabolisms are influenced by phosphorous and oxygen delivery and utilization is affected by the phosphorous attached to your hemoglobin. Phosphorous helps your body maintain the proper pH balance and helps with a number of enzymes and hormones.

Phosphorous is utilized by almost everything that lives so a balanced diet will generally provide all the dietary phosphorous you’ll need with some of the foods sources for phosphorous being: whole grains, seeds, nuts, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products.

We usually excrete excess phosphorous when we urinate so an excess is uncommon. Phosphorous deficiencies aren’t common in properly nourished people but some of the signs of deficiency may be: obesity, weight loss, loss of appetite, nervousness, irregular breathing and fatigue.

Phosphorous, calcium and vitamin D interact with each other so improper levels of one will affect the levels of other two.

Is Sulfur Important to Life?

November 6, 2007 | Author earthquakie

Yes! Sulfur is used by every living cell. Without sufficient quantities of sulfur in your body, you would have trouble forming body tissue, trouble with collagen synthesis, problems with your hair, skin, nails, nerves, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.

You may be allergic to medicines that are sulfur based but I’m willing to bet most of you eat foods that have sulfur in them. If you eat garlic, radishes or onions; you are naturally consuming sulfur your body can use.

Glutathione is a sulfur containing antioxidant used by the cells to fight off the damage free radicals can cause. There are amino acids, enzymes, polypeptides and proteins that all contain or use sulfur in the performance of various tasks within your body.

One final important function of sulfur is that it is part of the anticoagulant heparin.

I don’t know about you but I say bring on the fresh onions, radishes and garlic if they’re going to help my skin, nerves, hair and body functions keep me healthy.
