so we’re gonna talk about the 20 things that keep you deficient in minerals okay and some trace minerals first of all the soils the soils just don’t have the minerals the farmers don’t put these minerals back in especially the trace minerals which are minerals needed in smaller amounts like selenium iodine zinc very important number to anti acids they block certain minerals especially calcium and by the way if you’re taking any acids for heartburn or GERD you have number three which is low stomach acids low stomach acid will cause the opening of the valve on top of the stomach to allow the acid to go through you need a real strong acidic stomach to prevent the regurgitation of that acid but low stomach acids will block the absorption of magnesium zinc calcium iron and a lot of other minerals too so you need a real acidic stomach to pull these minerals in the way that you know you have low stomach acid is if you have gas and an inability to digest meat okay and before chorus sound like like a medication prednisone of steroids that will deplete your potassium Reserve that’s an adrenal hormone made synthetically medications will deplete your minerals there’s a lot of medications that will deplete different minerals but like I’ll give an example diuretics for example will deplete your potassium levels number six birth control pills will deplete you a magnesium and zinc coffee in excess will deplete calcium magnesium potassium and sodium basically all the electrolytes number eight soda soda has a lot of phosphorous and that depletes the calcium in the body as well as the potassium now sugar depletes potassium magnesium chromium and zinc number 10 high levels of insulin will block not just minerals but vitamins specifically potassium and magnesium and chromium number 11 if the thyroid is in a hyper mode you’ll be deficient of calcium magnesium and selenium number 12 stress which activates your own natural cortisone will deplete calcium and potassium and B vitamins like b1 b5 number 13 grains grains have something called phytic acid which prevents the absorption of minerals okay and then if you consume refined grains as bread or pasta in a state of flour you’re gonna lose the B vitamins and potassium and calcium and that’s why they sometimes enriched grains with certain synthetic vitamins but they don’t enrich it with the minerals number 14 ox let’s as in calcium oxalate stones in the kidney well what happens it locks up the calcium in the body and so you become calcium deficient believe it or not if you have a tendency to get a kidney stone it’s not a bad idea to consume calcium because you’re going to become deficient and it’ll go through the digestive system it won’t go directly to the kidney and bind to the oxalate so it actually will help you number 15 not consuming enough vegetables well what food gives you all the minerals you got it large quantities of vegetables number 16 not consuming enough sea vegetables like seaweed or sea kelp or even sea food because that’s where you get your iodine so if you’re not consuming those foods and you’re not consuming food that’s grown close to the ocean you could become iodine deficient just from that being pregnant it can create major deficiency because the demand for nutrients is so high and the problem with a lot of women that are pregnant they’re consuming the wrong type of vitamins synthetic prenatals with the minerals that are like rocks they’re not going to absorb them you want to do plant base you want to go high quality of nutrients when you’re pregnant number 18 being a vegan you really have to know what you’re doing when you become a vegan or a vegetarian because there’s certain nutrients that are very difficult to get one is iron okay 19 having mercury exposure can deplete you of magnesium and calcium amalgam fillings number 20 led okay if you’re exposed to lead you will be calcium deficient so now you know all the potential ways that you could become deficient and mineral thanks for watching if you haven’t already subscribed press the button below and I will keep you in the know hey that rhymes
