Minerals that are obtained from consuming foods like meat, vegetables and fruit are a very necessary part of our diet. It is vital that we get proper, balanced nutrition from a variety of food groups.
Minerals that come from food are ‘organic’ as they have been drawn up by the plant from the soil through the process of photosynthesis and the addition of enzymes during growth. These are available to be used by whoever consumes the plant. Minerals are lost through cooking and processing so eating fresh food gives the most benefit.
The cells of the human body can only take up and use minerals that are in an organic form. The body’s cells reject ‘inorganic minerals’ and they end up being deposited in various organs, joints, bones and also in the circulatory system. It is therefore imperative that we avoid consuming inorganic minerals as this will lead to many diseases such as kidney stones, gall stones, ossification of the brain, arthritis, heart disease and hardening of the arteries.
In recent times the incidence of inorganic minerals, particularly nitrates in underground water, rivers and streams are being reported. Run off from vegetation that has been fertilized, sewage disposal and mining have all contributed to the increased and alarming levels in our water sources. This means that even the fresh, clean water from underground sources may no longer be safe for consumption. Some of these waters are being bottled and sold to an unsuspecting public.
Osmotic filtered water is the only way, other than distillation, to be certain of obtaining absolutely pure water free of inorganic minerals.
