Before thirties, people knew importance of minerals. Their soil was rich in minerals and they ate plenty of vegetables grown in these soils. When vitamins were discovered during this time, people began to forget about important of minerals and started their fascination with vitamins.Today because soil is highly depleted of minerals, our vegetables are lacking in these life-giving nutrients. It is now necessary to consider how you can get more minerals in your body natural way. Here are some things you can do to get more minerals:
·buy organic farm products ·eat fruits and vegetable without peeling them ·eat fruits and vegetable raw ·cook fruits and vegetable with a minimum of water and temperature
Organic Farm Products
There are some major grocery markets that now sell organic vegetables. However, these vegetables are much higher in price, so that it discourages most people from buying, even though these vegetables are better for them.
By going to farmers markets, you will find many organic fruits and vegetables. The prices here will be almost same as what you pay for non-organic food at a regular market. When buying produce at a farmers market, ask vendor if his produce is pesticide sprayed, if he doesn’t have an "Organically Grown" certification sign.
When buying dried fruit, like apricots, make sure that you buy those are prepared with no or little sulphur. There is clinical evidence that sulfate-reducing bacteria, which exists in our colon can contribute to colon diseases - IBS, colitis, or Chiron's disease. The sulfate that reaches our colon comes from eating an excess of meat and eating and drinking food products that have sulfur and sulfur dioxide - dried fruits, jams, sodas, and many other products. Look for sulfur compounds and sulfur dioxide on food label, and then avoid eating these products.
Peeling Fruits and Vegetables
Most vitamins and minerals in many fruits and vegetables lie right underneath outer peel. For this reason it is best not to peel certain fruits or vegetables to gain most benefit of that produce. But make sure produce that you don't peel is organic. Don't peel apples, carrots, cucumbers, squash, broccoli stocks, celery, pears, nectarines, or tomatoes. Eating Raw Produce
