Nutrition and Supplements - 8 Minerals Every Arthritis Sufferer Should Know About

8 Minerals Every Arthritis Sufferer Should Know About
By: Emily Clark

Minerals are essential to maintain our bodies in top condition ...

In fact, our body is composed of many minerals, but unfortunately does not produce the minerals needed for a healthy body.

A deficiency of minerals can lead to various health problems, including arthritis!

The most common minerals used to reduce arthritic pains are:

Boron – This trace mineral aids in bone health.

Calcium – This is a much-needed mineral for bone health.

Magnesium – Magnesium helps keep calcium in balance within the system.

Zinc – This mineral is necessary for bone growth, but is often lacking in arthritic patients.

Manganese – Manganese is also necessary for bone growth. Do NOT ingest manganese with calcium because they can work against each other.

Copper – Copper helps to strengthen connective tissue.

Germanium – This antioxidant helps with pain relief.

Sulfur – A lack of sulfur can result in deterioration of ligaments, cartilage, collagen and tendons.

Our traditional source of minerals has been from fresh fruit, vegetables and some dairy products. Today we have to look at other sources to get sufficient minerals for a healthy diet. Some of the reasons for this are:

Loss of minerals in the soil
Modern food processing methods
Popularity of 'Junk' foods

An increasing number of people are turning to mineral supplements for their source of minerals.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection (excerpt)

You are about to gain insight into the mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and bodies, you can learn to use this fact to your benefit.

Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and Miracles" was once a distraught cancer surgeon until he began to understand the greater principles of the mind- body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial barriers that existed between patient and doctor, and the helplessness he often felt as a result of his inability to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those barriers were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition and growing understanding of the mind-body connection and how it could serve his patients and himself.

Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and attitude about their
disease.
