Got Your Everyday Minerals?How do you know if you're getting enough everyday minerals, especially trace minerals. We're not talking about the big guys like calcium and iron. We're talking about the little guys, called trace minerals. Chromium, copper, manganese, selenium and zinc, just to name a few. These forgotten everyday minerals are vital to your health. Take the questionnaire below, you may be surprised at what you learn. Then start making healthy choices to get those important trace minerals.
One of the major problems with modern agricultural methods is that it depletes foods of trace minerals. Added to this is the fact that many of the most mineral-rich portions of plant and animal foods are discarded in most kitchens. As a result, few people obtain the trace minerals they need to keep teeth, bones, hair, skin, etc. healthy. To find out if you need a trace mineral supplement, check the answer that best applies to you for each of the following questions.
