I have to admit, I didn’t know about minerals until recently, I now realize the importance of this information:
Minerals are from the soil and cannot be created by living things, such as plants and animals. But trust me humans need minerals in order to be healthy. Plants absorb minerals from the soil, and animals get their minerals from the plants or other animals they eat.
Most of the minerals in the human diet come directly from plants, such as fruits and vegetables, or indirectly from animal sources. Minerals may also be present in your drinking water, but this depends on where you live, and what kind of water you drink (bottled, tap). Minerals from plant sources may also vary from place to place, because the mineral content of the soil varies according to the location in which the plant was grown.
Now I want to give you a list of the most common minerals that should be in your diet on a daily basis:
-Calcium———1000 mg/day
-Copper———-1.5 – 3.0 mg/day
-Iodine———–150 mcg/day.
-Iron————-Women need 15 mg/day, whereas men need 10mg/day
-Iodine———–310 to 420 mg/ day
-Phosphorus——700 mg/day
-Manganese——2.0-5.0 mg/day
-Potassium——-2000 mg/day
-Selenium——–70 mcg/day
-Sodium———-500 mg/day
-Zinc————-15 mg/day
Now you know what minerals you need in your diet and how much you need, you have to figure out how to get this into your diet on a consistent basis. It’s really hard to actually implement into your life, because in today’s lifestyle we are so busy we seem to neglect our health because we feel healthy at the time. You must realize:
