You need minerals. But which minerals? And how many in what quantities? Find out from your health care professionals that actually know about measuring your minerals. You also might find my book helpful, Neurotechnology with Culinary Memoirs from the Daily Nutrition Reporter.

Ask whether your body type needs more magnesium than calcium and why. One book recently published is called The Calcium Lie by Robert Thompson, M.D. and Kathleen Barnes. View The Calcium Lie uTube video on this link. Another recently published book is Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D. N.D's The Magnesium Miracle.

And don't forget the section on the health benefits of magnesium (in the proper amount) stated in Dr. Sherry A. Rogers, M.D. book titled, Is Your Cardiologist Killing You? View two of Dr. Roger's videos on uTube on the effects of air pollution on your body and other health and nutrition topics.Another recently published book is titled, How Nutrigenomics Fights Childhood Type 2 Diabetes & Weight Issues.

What you need to know about magnesium is that it is an essential nutrient. Why are so many people deficient in magnesium? You need the right amount for your body, not too much and not too little. In Finland, salt shakers in some restaurants have begun offering magnesium to sprinkle on food, sometimes mixed with other spices or condiments such as garlic and onion, dulse, or dried herbs.

What you need to know is magnesium's role in lowering cholesterol. Find out the vital role this mineral plays in your own body.Most doctors have not considered that mineral cofactors are involved in our biochemical reactions. This means in plain language that we all need a mineral balance.

Are you taking a small amount of multiple minerals and silica to balance your minerals? Your first step is to investigate what multiple minerals in ionic form you do need. As for magnesium, I use a magnesium citrate powder called Natural Calm. I take a tablespoon each day with my other minerals.

Each person's body is different and requires a different amount that works best for the individual. Find out what works right for you.

Feed whole grains to your children to help ward off the kind of type 2 childhood diabetes that results from too many simple carbohydrates.
