The top 5 signs of mineral deficiency: Why Do I Need To Supplement My Diet?

We know that there are 900 diseases which are caused by mineral and vitamin defieciency, and that humans and animals require about 90+ nutrients for health. We also know that our soils in the US are deficient in the nutrients needed to promote health. Plants CANNOT make minerals, so if the minerals are not in the soil, we need to supplement our diets.

The top 5 signs of mineral deficiency follow:

  1. White, Gray, or Silver Hair: (Copper Deficiency)
  2. Age Spots, Liver Spot: (Trans-Fatty Acid: ie Hydrogenated Oils)
  3. Cracked Cuticles, Hang-nails, Cracks on sides of fingers and thumbs: (Lack of Essential Fatty Acids)
  4. Noisy Joints, Muscle Twitches, Muscle Spasms, Ringing Ears, Loose Teeth, and Receeding Gums: (Lack of Calcium)
  5. Pica: (Food Cravings, binge eating behavior): Your body is trying to tell you that it needs something it is not getting).

If you have any of these symptoms, according to Dr. Wallach, you should not take them lightly. These are all early warning signs of more serious health issues taking place in your body, like cancer, stroke, and heart disease, which may take many healthy years off your life.

Our diets play a major role in our health. Fried foods, sugar, caffeine, margarine (hydrogenated oils), carbonated drinks, and too many carbohydrates inhibit mineral absorption or deplete minerals and are major contributors of the early warning signs listed above.

Dr. Wallach, after much research and many years of practical application, has come up with the products to help get and keep you in excellent health. Along with the proper diet, plenty of rest and mild to moderate exercise, we can add years to our life expectancy, and not only years, but most importantly, quality of life. I don't know about you, but I want to be healthy and feel good as long as I am here!

Isn't it worth the time and effort to try? Give the body the 90+ nutrients it needs, and you will be surprised at the way you begin to feel! The way we should feel, but have forgotten because of our bad diets and habits. Take the time, put forth the effort. After all, you can't be all you want to be without your health!
