Minerals for Hair Health - Not Many People Realise These Little Known Facts


While most people are now aware how important vitamins are for general health, many people are less aware of the importance of minerals. This is particularly so when considering the minerals that are needed for the healthy growth and condition of your hair.
If you are concerned with premature hair loss, thinning or falling hair, you should find food for thought in this short article.
Below is a list of the minerals recommended as important to maintain a healthy head of hair, and reduce the risk of hair loss and thinning hair. I compiled it while I was training to qualify as a nutritionist, and since then have added to it from further research on the Internet.
  • Selenium
  • Silica
  • Iodine
  • Iron
  • Copper
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Chromium
  • Sulphur
  • Potassium
  • Manganese
Some of these minerals work together with other minerals (synergistic relationships), and some pairs are antagonistic; so maintaining the correct relative balance is important,.
Yes - vitamins are important for hair health (such as vitamins A, C, E, B3, B5, B6, B12 and biotin), but a fact that isn't well-known is that vitamins need minerals to function and be absorbed correctly. So you could be taking all the vitamin supplements in the world, but without minerals you will not be getting the full benefit from them.
Dr Linus Pauling is on record as having said "The root of all disease is directly related to a lack of minerals". Surprisingly, your body can continue to function for a longer period without vitamins than it can without minerals.
Of course most vitamin supplements these days include a selection of minerals - but did you know that the human body requires at least 60 minerals to stay healthy? If you check a typical multi-vitamin / mineral packaging I'll be surprised if you find all 60 in the ingredient list.
Because minerals are present in food, people tend to make the same (false) assumption as for vitamins. Namely that you can get all the minerals you need from a healthy diet.
But as it is for vitamins this is incorrect, because the same over-farming that has depleted the soil of vitamins has stripped it of minerals too. Reports from WHO, the UK Ministry of Agriculture and the Royal Society of Chemistry confirm the decline of nutritional value of the soil's mineral content since the 1940s.
Many foods that we buy today contain less than 20 minerals, which is why my college training recommended paying attention to mineral supplementation and balance to maintain your health, in addition to watching your diet and lifestyle.
The stark conclusion to draw from this article is that if your body is low on essential minerals needed for the chemical, electrical and hormonal impulses triggered thousands of times a day, it is reasonable to assume that your body will prioritize these life-maintaining functions over the health of your hair.
Only when the vital bodily functions can be maintained will there be spare minerals to use for the health of your hair.

  18. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

  21. Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
