In times gone by, it was easier for people to get trace minerals through their diets. Many people grew their own crops organically. And they grew a variety of crops in the same ground -- which helped the soil to stay balanced.
Today, it is almost impossible to get all the trace minerals you need from diet alone. This is because commercial farming techniques are extremely harsh on soil.
Individual crops (like corn) are planted on thousands of acres of land at a time with no other crops mixed in. This lack of biodiversity leaches the ground of specific minerals that never get replaced.
Furthermore, most farmland is farmed year after year nonstop. This prevents the land from “resting” and allowing nature to replenish the soil.
Not only that, many crops are sprayed with toxic pesticides and herbicides, which seep into the ground and poison the food we eat.
Because farmland is overused and under-rested, the fruits and vegetables we eat today don’t have the same nutritional value as they used to have 60+ years ago.
They lack many of the trace minerals that are essential for human health and longevity.
You might think you’re “eating healthy” by eating fruits and vegetables. But conventional fruits and vegetables (and even some organics) are now nutritionally “poor” -- a shadow of what they used to be.
This is why so many people don’t consume enough of the right trace minerals and are currently suffering from mineral imbalances.
