Organic Food and Metabolism

With all the emphasis laid on the great impact of stress and pollution affecting our health, a very positive rage has started: that of organic food. The preoccupation to lower toxins to the minimum is only competed by the effort to have food intakes that contain enough vitamins and enzymes. However, nutrient deficiencies resulting from the lack of organic minerals in our meals, keep affecting millions of people who develop metabolic health problems every day.
Conclusive studies and research have come to show that even if we include all the essential nutrients in our meals, their consumption or even elimination rate is much accelerated due to external factors such as pollutants, stressors, drugs, injuries or sickness. The body needs of a person from the beginning of the 20th century would be a lot less demanding if compared to anyone from our days. Let’s take a clear and suggestive example.
You have a urinary infection let’s say, and use antibiotics for seven days in a row; chances are that when you complete the treatment, you may have developed an yeast infection. Even if you eat nutrient dense food with all the organic minerals, vitamins and enzymes necessary to the body, their absorption is highly limited because of yeast outgrowth. You will need to increase the amount of nutrients with the help of natural supplements in order to bring the body back on track.
Anyone can notice when something is missing from the diet; any craving of whatever kind is a clear sign the body urges for a nutrient. Usually people try to satisfy the craving by eating more calories including fat and sugar, thus continuing to ruin their health on a regular basis. For instance lack of organic minerals such as zinc weakens the immune system and makes you an easy prey to infections; or selenium deficiencies are manifest in cancer, premature aging, and cystic fibrosis.
