Minerals are essential for your well-being; they help keep your muscles firing, your mind focused and your body hydrated, as well as playing a role in just about every function of your body. So how do you go about ensuring that you’re maximising your mineral wellness?
1. Sea vegetables – The ocean is one of the most mineral rich environments in the world, and sea vegetables benefit from having access to this incredible nutrition. However, if the thought of seaweeds like dulse, kelp, nori and irish moss isn’t too appetising, try mixing them into smoothies, as a thickener, or dehydrated and sprinkled onto salads.
2. Green juice – Per calorie, greens are some of the best foods to prevent mineral deficiency, and turning them into a juice can be the perfect daily addition to your healthy, balanced diet. Blend up three stalks of celery with a cucumber, four leaves of kale or lettuce, a lemon, a big handful of parsley and an inch of ginger.
3. Coconut water – Your muscles need sodium and potassium in order to work, and coconut water has both of these electrolytes in spades. As these minerals help to ensure that your electrical pulses make your muscles fire, your muscles could cease up or cramp without them.
4. Hydrochloric acid supplements (HCL) – HCL is a big part of the process in which your body separates minerals from plant and animal foods, as well as denaturing proteins so they can be digested. However, deficiencies in HCL (which often occurs with age) often lead to mineral deficiencies so taking an HCL supplement short term or long term – if appropriate – may help.
5. Liquid mineral supplements – This type of supplement contains a broad spectrum of trace minerals that your body can easily absorb.
6. Ocean Grown Solution – If you grow food at home, Ocean Grown Solution can increase the mineral production in the produce. The product is basically concentrated sea water, and it will help add a wider mineral spectrum to your plantings, sprouts and wheat grass.
7. Mineral hot springs – You can absorb minerals through your skin, so why not take a break, head off to a hot spring and relax? Hot springs open your pores up for easier mineral absorption.
