4 underrated minerals for your health that deserve more attention

THREAD
1) Magnesium

You’re not getting enough in your food

Plain & simple

This mineral plays a huge role in your sleep & is known as nature’s sedative

The recommendations are far lower than they should be for optimal health

Mag glycinate is your best supplement option
2) Zinc

It’s vital for your immunity, testosterone & hair growth

It’s often missed out on as best food sources include oysters or beef liver

Most people don’t eat enough of these

Do NOT supplement this long term

Eat copper rich foods as well

Glycinate/carnosine = best forms
3) Iodine

A must for thyroid, hormonal & metabolic health

The fear mongering done against salt has it that some people, particularly women, don’t get enough in their diet

You need such small amounts for optimal well-being

Eat seafood and you’ll be good
4) Chromium

A necessary mineral that helps you breakdown fats & carbs

It turns on your insulin receptors, which allow your body to use sugars efficiently

Fantastic for diabetic or pre diabetic people

800mcg of chromium nicotinate is optimal dose

Broccoli & liver = best foods
