Mineral Deficiency is a Thing: Understand Your Body’s Cry for Help

Your body works hard to keep you healthy. If you don't give it enough vitamins and minerals, it will pull what it needs from your bones and teeth. Pain is usually the last sign of something wrong; it surfaces when your body has used up all its resources and can’t keep things balanced anymore.

The Consequences of Mineral Deficiency

Your body may show signs of mineral deficiency, like deteriorating bones or teeth. Patients with poor bone density scans often ask how to improve their bone health. Simply taking calcium supplements isn’t enough. You need to eat better and fix any nutrient shortages.

Your body starts using bone mass when it’s already in trouble. When I was diagnosed with MS, my doctor said I had the bones of a 90-year-old woman. My body had been taking minerals from my bones, causing severe bone and dental problems.

Absorbing vs Taking Minerals

Adding minerals to your diet might not be enough. Your body needs to absorb and use these minerals properly. For example, I had severe anemia and mineral deficiencies, partly because of metal amalgams in my teeth. Metal amalgams are mercury, silver, tin, and copper fillings. These fillings can release small amounts of mercury vapor, which might contribute to health problems over time.

If you think metal amalgams might affect your health, consider talking to your dentist about safe removal options, including avoiding further mercury exposure. They can replace the amalgams with safer alternatives like composite resin fillings.

Taking Action

Pay attention to the signs your body gives you. Symptoms like poor bone density or crumbling teeth are not just minor issues; they indicate more profound nutritional deficiencies.

Improving your diet, addressing underlying health issues, and understanding the importance of mineral balances can help you achieve better health. Don't ignore these symptoms or rely solely on supplements.

Besides creating a better diet, make other lifestyle changes to help your body absorb and use minerals better. Regular exercise, drinking enough water, and avoiding toxins can all help keep your mineral levels balanced. For example, walking or lifting weights can strengthen your bones and boost your overall health.

By understanding and addressing these hidden cries for help, you can take proactive steps toward better health and prevent long-term damage. Focus on holistic approaches to improve your overall well-being. Give your body the support and resources it needs to heal itself.
