 People who eat as little as others but seem to gain weight in spite of this are often deficient in the digestive enzyme lipase, and the food-form minerals chromium, zinc, and selenium. Lipase is required by the body to digest fat in order to utilize it as energy. Chromium is required for insulin to work efficiently in controlling hunger, regulating energy production, and utilizing fat. The secretion of healthy bile is essential for dissolving and eliminating fat. |

 Low blood sugar goes away whether you eat junk food or healthy food, but long term, a diet that's low in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients will make you tired, irritable, and absentminded. Your daily food choices make a big difference in your life, especially when you take medications that deplete nutrients.
Science has proven that following the principles of optimum nutrition can:
• Improve your mood.
• Increase your mental and physical stamina and your overall health.
• Enhance your concentration, memory, and overall mental ability.
• Reduce your stress level. |

 When the two minerals are in proper balance, the body better absorbs and assimilates the calcium it needs and also allows calcium to migrate from tissue and organs where it doesn't belong.
Without magnesium, calcium might not be fully utilized. Underabsorption of calcium can lead to menstrual cramps. As with a vitamin E deficiency, when the body does not have enough magnesium to support calcium absorption, many women report PMS symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue, headaches, and sleeplessness.
Premenstrual chocolate craving is a phenomenon that has puzzled many physicians. |

| It contains trace minerals, including iodine—the mineral usually added to table salt, important for the health of the thyroid gland—in a concentration that is more usable by the body.
If you crave salt, this may be a sign of low thyroid and adrenal function. Salt is particularly important for balanced function of many of the body's glands and organs. (The thyroid and adrenal glands make hormones that play roles in your energy levels and help keep you at an ideal weight; reduced function in either can lead to fatigue and weight gain. |

 On top of the poor quality of the foods we do eat, we have been consuming less fruit, vegetables and herbs, which are generally high in vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
There is evidence to suggest that dietary habits are moving from bad to worse. A recent survey of secondary school children in Victoria, Australia, found that in some schools one in ten students did not eat any fruit at all during the month-long study. Although this was a relatively small study, it identified a problem and leads to great concern about the unbalanced food intake of growing adolescents. |

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL
The secret behind the oil of this unassuming flower is its gammalinoleic acid (GLA) content, a substance that is extremely valuable to the body. Most vegetable oils contain linoleic acid, which the body has to convert into GLA before use,- some people who are atopic may be unable to convert linoleic acid into GLA. |

| The Schuessler minerals most commonly used in the treatment of asthma are potassium phosphate (kali phos), potassium chloride (kali mur), magnesium phosphate (mag phos) and sodium chloride (nat mur). Which remedy is selected depends on the particular condition, for instance whether it is bronchial asthma, nervous asthma, if it is accompanied by fever, is worse in the evening or in an overheated room.
The relevant symptoms are best assessed by an experienced practitioner. It is advisable, therefore, that you consult a naturopath or homeopath for a proper diagnosis. |
| Juices
Juices extracted from plants, fruits, vegetables or herbs are extremely rich in vitamins, natural sugars, minerals, enzymes and trace elements. Very few other foods are as good for us as the raw juices of fruits or vegetables.
They are assimilated directly from the stomach into the bloodstream without undue strain on the digestive system. They aid the body in purifying the blood, help in neutralising waste products, assist in building new tissue and have a revitalising and rejuvenating effect on the body's organs and glands. |
| There are a number of traditions of complementary therapies, and below we give an introduction to four that use remedies derived from the natural world around us—herbs, flowers, oils and minerals?and how they may be useful for people with asthma.

Shen-ung was a Chinese Emperor born more than 5000 years ago. Records indicate that he used plants medicinally to treat bronchial and asthmatic problems—he used ma-huang. In recent times it has been found that ma-huang contains ephedrine, a drug now frequently prescribed for asthma and pulmonary disorders. |

 Europe and have access to a variety of foods, you don't need added vitamins, minerals, or supplements, for they are more likely to cause harm than good. There are residents of Third World countries, however, who may benefit from the addition of vitamins and supplements to their foods.
We are continuously discovering more beneficial effects of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables, so it is always better to eat these primary sources of vitamins rather than to take them in pill form. |

 Today, people are popping diet pills, vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements like candy in the hopes of finding the ultimate quick-fix solutions to their health concerns. Instead of natural cures we should be focused on natural living to avoid diseases that need to be cured.

 Scratch an alcoholic and you will find a hypoglycemic," says Mathews-Larson, whose Health Recovery Center in Minneapolis has treated alcoholics with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for several decades. She believes addicts don't metabolize sugar properly, which is responsible for a good deal of the cravings and addictive behavior and that without correcting this situation, no treatment of alcoholism can be entirely successful, even if it does lead to abstinence. |
| Zinc
Your Key to Infection Protection
IF minerals WERE ancient gods, zinc would be Zeus: superhero mineral, protector of the immune system, defender of bodily invaders, and involved in virtually every aspect of infection prevention. If you've got a cold, an infection, or a cold sore, zinc may just be your best friend.
Critical for more than 300 enzymatic functions in the body, zinc is found in every one of our eighty trillion cells. Without it we wouldn't survive. Zinc helps us grow and develop, breathe, and digest our food. One of its primary functions is in wound healing and tissue repair. |
| Never mind that there's an enormous disinclination to find benefits for vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other supplements in a research environment largely funded by pharmaceuticals. Even in a "research-neutral" environment, a single vitamin (or other supplement) may not show its full ability to heal and support health if it's asked to work its magic by itself. Vitamins are like basketball players—there are stars, sure, but the real championships are won by teams.
But put them together and—at least in my case—they worked wonderfully. |
| The natural treatments in this book—vitamins, herbs, minerals, foods, plants, "designer" nutrients, acupuncture, stress reduction, image therapy, reflexology, or any of the many specific treatments or combinations of compounds—can make a huge difference in your health. No kidding. They can address certain metabolic conditions and blocked pathways that can contribute to your illness. They can clear up some of the obstacles that stand in the way of your healing. They can jump-start the body's amazing, natural curative powers. |

 And this one ingredient -- refined white flour -- strips the body of essential nutrition, leaving it deficient in B vitamins as well as minerals like magnesium and zinc. These are precisely the minerals that children need in order to build healthy nervous systems and avoid behavioral disorders later in life. These are also the same nutrients that pregnant women need to be able to give birth to babies that don't have birth defects. |

| At the same time, your pancreas and small intestine receive instructions to prepare for the release of the appropriate kinds and amounts of digestive enzymes and minerals necessary to help break down the food into the smallest nutrient components.
The first and most common cause of digestive trouble is swallowing food too quickly. This eating habit indicates anxiety, impatience and nervousness. Eating too quickly reduces saliva production in the mouth cavity, which is a major cause of tooth decay. |
| The combination of nutritious food and strong AGNI forms the ideal partnership to help the body make sufficient amounts of amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, glucose, fructose, trace elements and other vital substances available to all its parts. This, in turn, produces healthy blood, vital tissues and a youthful body. The quality of the blood and the tissues of the body, including those that make up the skin, mostly reflect the condition of the liver and the small intestine. |
| Besides monounsaturated fats, nuts are rich in vitamins, minerals, and other substances that are beneficial to your health. For example, walnuts contain a type of omega-3 fat similar to fish oil, and almonds contain calcium and vitamin E. Nuts are also good sources of digestible protein and beneficial fiber. Research shows that people who eat nuts tend to weigh less than those who don't eat nuts, despite the fact they are calorie dense (160-200 calories per oz). |

| What about Taking Extra minerals?
Mineral salts found in the earth's soil and rocks are classified as inorganic, and must be incorporated within the structure of plants in order to be useable by your body. Most mineral supplements are inorganic, and their consumption causes serious problems, as they commonly end up deposited in your various tissues. This can result in serious health problems including arthritis, Alzheimer's, and arteriosclerosis. Calcium supplements are notorious for this. |

 This causes grains, fruits, and vegetables to lose most of their vitamins, minerals, and fiber, as well as other nutrients. Preservatives are then added in order to prevent germs from proliferating in the food while it sits in the jar or package on the supermarket shelf. That way, your food won't spoil or be covered with mold when you tear open the plastic packaging a week or a month or even a year down the road. |

 Recent research has shown that the skin reacts particularly well to certain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that nourish the skin, making it appear youthful and healthy. The following nutrients are among the very best to consume for healthy, young-looking skin:
Silica:Silica is a trace mineral that strengthens the body's connective tissues - muscles, tendons, hair, ligaments, nails, cartilage, and bone - and is vital for healthy skin. Silica deficiency can result in reduced skin elasticity and can hamper the body's ability to heal wounds. |
| Silica is also available as a concentrated liquid supplement from Eidon Ionic minerals (www.eidon.com)
Zinc: The mineral zinc is an important component of healthy skin, especially for acne sufferers. In fact, acne itself may be a symptom of zinc deficiency. Zinc acts by controlling the production of oil in the skin, and may also help control some of the hormones that create acne. Zinc is also required for proper immune system function, as well as for the maintenance of vision, taste, and smell. Zinc consumption is also strongly linked to a reduction of prostate cancer. |
