As we get older, most find that they have less energy and stamina than when they were younger. If only we could have the energy and stamina we see in our children and even more so in our grandchildren.
The lack of energy and stamina experienced by older adults is usually not due to only one cause. Through many years of wear and tear many of the body’s systems begin to work less efficiently.
As one example, the heart may not pump blood as efficiently as it once did and blood vessels lose their pliability. This means that all of the material needed by the cells in your body reach it in a less efficient manner.
If the body is dealing with disease or injury, many of the very limited resources of the blood may be focused on attempting to deal with this disease or injury. This means there is less available for other parts of the body, causing them to work less efficiently – hence fatigue and further problems.
Much of traditional western medicine is focused on treating disease but does little to provide resources to help the body work more efficiently. While good nutrition with a wide variety of organic fruits and vegetables may help to some degree, they may also fall short.
The mass producing farming techniques used currently have left much of our soils – and therefore our food mineral deficient.
Minerals are necessary components which help the body run efficiently and effectively.
Major minerals or macro minerals are needed in larger quantities by the body. The macro minerals include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur.
Trace minerals are needed in smaller quantities by the body. These include iron, copper, manganese, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, Molybdenum, cobalt, chromium, selenium and possibly others.
If you are experiencing fatigue, any medications should also be checked to see if fatigue is a side effect .
