Many people neglect the importance of proper mineral intake. Each mineral is essential and has a specific function in the body. Today we will discuss calcium and phosphorus.

Calcium

Essential for bone and tooth formation, protects nerve cells and prompts blood coagulation. Calcium deficiencies can cause defective bone growth, osteoporosis, and tooth decay. Calcium rich foods include milk, cheese, yogurt, spinach, kale, and sesame seeds.

Phosphorus

Essential for energy metabolism, regulating pH balance, and formation of teeth and bones. Phosphorus deficiencies can cause arterial sclerosis and improper blood coagulation. Phosphorus rich foods include Pumpkin seeds, salmon, shellfish, brazil nuts, and romano cheese.

The majority of diets today often overlook proper mineral intake. Be proactive and begin to move, look, feel as you’ve always desired!
