Our food is an indispensable source of good nutrients necessary for the functioning of our body. Indeed, our meals are very useful to provide us with sufficient energy for our needs and to go about our various occupations of the day. But let's not forget that they are also composed of foods rich in minerals and trace elements. If our plates are properly prepared, avoiding as much industrial food as possible, we could have enormous benefits for our health.

We sometimes have the impression of being bludgeoned with information related to wellness concerning food. A lot of data is sent here and there in magazines, books or on the internet. This information is intended to convince consumers to reduce their intake of processed products as much as possible in order to focus on getting back to nature and eating fresh, local and seasonal foods. What benefits do you think you'll find in a just-picked carrot and a carrot that's just been drained from its can? Nutrients that are essential to health, of course. What is it that drives a consumer to buy expensive canned vegetables when it is so much more natural to eat them fresh? The easy way perhaps? Lack of time to prepare a meal when you get home from work? Each consumer has his or her own life path and conscience.

Sometimes the nutritional intake is insufficient either because of a lack of absorption or a lack of intake. In both cases, a supplementation will be essential to allow our body to function as well as possible. Indeed, Minerals are catalysts of enzymatic reactions that are essential to life and they have vital roles.

Here is a brief overview: Minerals have an indispensable role in the balance of cells, in the circulation of electrical impulses along the nerves, in the structure of many tissues and molecules, etc. Moreover, we can say that minerals are the major components of enzymes, hormones and vitamins.

Let's sum it up simply...

• Without minerals, no skeleton.
• Without minerals, no muscle contraction
• Without minerals, no heart contraction
• Without minerals, no nervous system
• Without minerals, there is simply no life.

All this is only theory, but in practice, what are the minerals? We all know them but we sometimes forget that they are minerals, so I quote calcium, chlorine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulfur.

At the same time, other elements are equally vital. These are trace elements such as chromium, cobalt, iron, fluorine, copper, germanium, lithium, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and silicon. The difference with minerals is our daily needs. In fact, we have lower needs for trace elements than for minerals. Moreover, OLIGO comes from the ancient Greek OLIGOS. It means "not very abundant", it is then about element which the body needs in weak quantity.

Our needs in minerals essential to our survival depend totally on our lifestyle but also on our diet. Indeed, the more we consume processed foods that attack and stress the body, the more our needs in minerals and trace elements will be indispensable. So, the first thing to do is to change our consumption habits. How do you do it? By adopting new reflexes such as the consumption of organic quality products and the least processed possible.

In the case of acute or chronic illnesses or physical suffering, mineral and trace element supplementation can in many cases relieve many health problems.
