Outside of having adequate amounts of clean air, water, protein, and fat for your basic survival, minerals are important to you living a healthy and high functional life. Minerals actually help your body build its structure, and are co-enzymes, which means that they help enable the activity of an enzyme to work properly. You’ve probably heard of the neurotransmitter serotonin. In order for your body to make serotonin, it requires a gene to make an enzyme which helps your body convert a substance called 5-HTP into serotonin. However, the ability to complete this conversion process requires the co-enzyme minerals, zinc, and magnesium in order to do this efficiently. If you lack those minerals, this process will be impaired, and you may end up manifesting serotonin deficiencies (depression, carbohydrate craving, etc). I haven’t found one person yet who wasn’t significantly deficient in minerals. The good news is that I’ve found a good test that you can use at home to help you stay on top of your macro-mineral levels, and help prevent overdosing on a mineral that you may have an excess of in your system. This video will help you understand the eloquence of this simple method.
