It all boils down to ionic minerals vs other minerals. Our most important source for minerals has been from fruits and vegetables which are sadly lacking in the Standard North American Diet. Even if you eat lots of fruits and vegetables, unless the vegetables are organic, the soil in which they are grown is usually depleted of ionic minerals.
It has been known for a long time that the soils in most agricultural areas worldwide have been depleted of the minerals most important for the health of all that should utilize them. The US documented this in their Senate Document 264 in 1936. In 1992, scientists at the Earth Summit in Brazil presented documents that showed that the soils worldwide are mineral depleted and the soils in the US are rated among the worst in the world.
As minerals from the soil move into the plants, they need to be replaced by decaying vegetation as compost which also contains adequate minerals. Scientists have developed fertilizers that promote plant growth but those synthetic fertilizers can convert mineral ions into insoluble compounds that are difficult for the plants to absorb as the molecules are too big.
Most farms that have produced crops for almost or more than a century, have used synthetic chemical fertilizers containing nitrogen phosphorus and potassium with perhaps some lime thrown in for good measure. Plant growth is not as vigorous or lush as a result, so plants become susceptible to pests and diseases. As a consequence of herbicide and pesticide use, the microorganisms and soil creatures that are responsible for helping to break down mineral complexes into the smaller, more absorbable ionic minerals are now absent.
Every cell of your body and every bodily function requires ionic minerals to thrive and function. Every time your heart beats, it needs ionic minerals. Ionic minerals are tiny, easily absorbable particles that dissolve readily in water. Since your body is 70 percent water and water is the body’s delivery system, as it is in plants, insoluble minerals do not work. A lot of dietary supplements contain insoluble minerals. Your nervous system and brain use ionic minerals to deliver electrical signals to every part of your body. Vitamins, hormones, enzymes and almost every biological chemical and process in the body need a wide variety of minerals and trace minerals to function well. Even your bones and teeth require adequate mineral supplies to stay strong.
To show you how important ionic minerals are to your health, magnesium is the catalyst or building blocks for over 300 enzymes. It is also critical in the production of ATP, an energy component critical to the Krebbs Cycle which is responsible for metabolism. Magnesium is seriously deficient in the average diet and you will notice that it is not present in a lot of fertilizers that I mentioned above, used in farming our food. Even if it was, it is not in a form that plants and our bodies can use.
Thus, we must get if from somewhere. Since the minerals must eventually dissolve in water in our bodies, the obvious place to get it is in the water we drink. Our water augmentation pitcher is the quick and easy way to get essential minerals into your body. You should be drinking lots of fresh clean water for health anyway so it would seem logical to acquire the minerals your body needs from the water you drink. Our proprietary technology provides your body with the minerals you need for healthy body functioning. Drink your minerals in your water every day for efficient and vibrant health.
