I’ve always had an interest in vitamins and minerals and how they work in your body. In fact, at one point I used to sell natural supplements. That was one of the catalyst’s that got me interested in the holistic approach to healthcare and weight loss.
I started reading this new book, Minerals, The Forgotten Nutrient, and I didn’t even make it past chapter two before I started texting friends with health issues screenshots of this book.
Loaded with information about how minerals work in your body, this book is something everyone needs to read, especially doctors! Here are my thoughts on this new release.

Review of Minerals: The Forgotten Nutrient
The tagline for this new book is Your Secret Weapon for Getting and Staying Healthy. I have to agree. I think many people that have illnesses or imbalances in their body will find that their vitamins and minerals are out of whack. Or maybe just not being absorbed and utilized properly.
This book takes a look at each mineral and how it works in our body. What it does and how it affects different organs and balances in our body.
The author’s look at how minerals affect you in terms of:
- weight loss
- depression
- taking prescription drugs
- blood pressure
- your brain
- heart
- cancer
- anxiety
and so many other areas of your health and wellness. They also delve into how minerals can affect and help with things such as PMS, menopause, pain, fatigue, and other issues we may experience.
In short and easy to read chapters, there’s not a lot of fluff, just direct information and the references to support the facts. They offer charts that give you direct references to foods with high levels of the mineral or dosage amounts, and so much more.
This book is a wonderful reference that is easy to use for every adult in your family. It’s interesting to realize that food, vitamins, and minerals can play such a big part in our overall health.
But that is one thing that I learned when I started feeling so much better from juicing. It opened my eyes to the fact that I knew I was missing vital nutrients and minerals.
This is definitely one book to check out if you are wondering how minerals play a part in your body. I learned so much and shared it with others!
