Role of dietary alkalizing minerals
Our bodies need organic minerals on a regular basis to meet it's needs to perform the routine functions. Minerals are essential for life and health. Specific minerals facilitate specific functions in the organs and tissues where they are stored. Each mineral is a transmitter operating on a specific vibratory frequency. Some minerals function as electrolytes where they conduct electricity in a liquid. In the body the minerals help maintain the membrane potentials of cells and are crucially involved in muscle function, high energy levels, heart activity, and the pH balance in the blood and tissues. Body's enzyme system is also dependent on the minerals. Deficiency of minerals leads to improper enzyme function that leads to ultimate disease. Minerals are best absorbed by the body when they are in their native chelated form. Humans cannot assimilate inorganic minerals - they must be organic before they become bio-available to our bodies.
Minerals are divided into two groups. Macro minerals are needed in fairly large amounts. Micro, or trace minerals are needed in very small amounts. Although minimal in size, trace minerals are a critical factor in maintaining a proper balance of health.
Acids are produced in the body through devitalized foods, stress, mental strain etc. When this occurs, alkalizing minerals are withdrawn to neutralize the acid. This leads to reduced alkaline mineral reserves in the body which must get replenished before they get totally emptied. A large percentage of the population lives on acid ash-producing foods that leads to total depletion of the alkalizing minerals. Providing body with the bio-available mineral supplementation helps the body to build the mineral reserves again so it is able to run its machinery well.
Dr. Ray has emphasized a few points about the minerals:
All nutrients such as vitamins, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, oils etc. require minerals for activity.
Hormonal secretion of glands is dependent upon mineral stimulation.
Vitamins can be synthesized by living matter. Minerals cannot.
The acid-alkaline balance (pH) of the tissue fluid is controlled by the minerals.
Inorganic minerals cannot be absorbed by the body. It requires the chelated form of the minerals so it can be properly assimilated and utilized.
The body must maintain an adequate supply of minerals so the osmotic equilibrium can be maintained.
Slimmerbody's alkalizing mineral product is in an organic source of bio-available minerals which are readily absorbed by the body. They support the body with the raw material that it needs to perform its functions most effectively. It initiates the cleansing and detoxification of the body as well as provides ample energy. |
