We will soon enter the time of year when the boom in sales of health supplements is likely to occur. We refer specifically to the classic magnesium and potassium, which many of us take to relieve seasonal fatigue. Remembering, however, that their intake must always be agreed with the doctor or at least with the trusted pharmacist. Since our body is a potentially perfect machine, its engine not only needs oil and petrol, but also other substances. The one we are going to see today is less known in the health and wellness field, but it would be just as important. As the experts point out in the studio which we report below.
An important difference in mineral salts
We are often convinced that taking mineral salts gives us the same energy that proteins could give us. But, technically that’s not quite the case, because there is a small important difference to know. Magnesium, potassium, silicon and mineral salts in general contribute to the production of energy in our body. They are in fact part, and as protagonists, of those internal processes that allow our body to create the energy we need. Without forgetting their importance also in maintaining the health of bones and teeth and in transporting oxygen to the tissues.
Not the usual magnesium and potassium but the deficiency of this lesser known mineral could lead to nervous failure and heart disease
When we talk about copper, we certainly don’t think about the mineral necessary for the health of our body. We certainly think of electric cables first, rather than the matter of railway tracks. But also copper would be absolutely necessary for the daily needs of our health. As highlighted in the study we referred to, the lack of this mineral could lead us to inconveniences such as:
- anemia;
- lowering of the immune defenses;
- problems with the nervous system;
- bone fragility;
- increased risk of heart disease.
Warning
We specify that the absence of copper in the blood would not be common, but quite rare and still possible. Not the usual magnesium and potassium but the deficiency of this mineral that we can still find in very common foods such as chocolate and cocoa. But also dried fruit, seafood, salmon, legumes, oats and barley.
