greens today why do I say greens because it's in Greens that you get your highest amount of minerals and minerals are not lost with the cooking it's only lost if you throw the water away you actually cook it in so how come Aussies are mineral deficient now if someone's living on fast food obviously they're going to be mineral deficient but there are people today in Australia they're having their fruits and vegetables every day and they're still mineral deficient well we have to now look at the way the food's grown you to traditionally ground was always
fed compost between crops when you got a crop in the ground say you got tomatoes in the ground that tomato plant will pull certain minerals out of the soil to cause the Tomas to grow you need to eat food to stay alive but what if we told you that the very food you eat is slowly deteriorating your body from the inside the very idea of such a thing would creep into one's soul but sadly enough it is all true and it's not junk food or fast food it includes them as well as the healthy food
that you eat what are these silent killers in your diet and how are they harming your health stick around till the end of the video to find out what do we mean when we say that the food you eat is slowly killing you it isn't like you are being fed poison it's actually the specific deficiencies in our everyday food that are harming us there are many heavily processed foods in stores nowadays but most of them are severely lacking in essential minerals even if you're feeling all right understand that mineral deficiency is like a silent threat
it slowly affects you and you won't realize its impact until it's too late these deficiencies will eventually evolve into diseases as you age let's learn about some of them and how to fight against them table salt is a dangerous is a dangerous salt number nine the T salt trap iodine is like the heart of thyroid health because it's the gland's main nutrient it's not only used in that but selenium helps convert iodine into thyroxine which is a vital thyroid hormone interestingly Barbara O'Neal says that the table salt that you normally use is just a trap
people don't realize that they have thyroid gland issues they may be underactive or overactive but all of it can be linked to iodine deficiency Barbara suggests a simple test that can determine iodine levels apply iodine to the inside of your arm and create a brown smudge if the iodine disappears within an hour then it indicates low iodine levels for the people who have tested positive you don't need to worry because you won't die yet Barbara shares a simple remedy for this apply iodine daily until it remains visible for about 5 hours Now's the Time for
the big answer what food gives you iodine surprisingly enough there is not much in your diet at all we used to rely on fortified salt or iodized salt to to counter iodine deficiency but even that loses 50% of its iodine content within half an hour of opening according to Barbra we need to use Lugal solution it's an iodine supplement that's available Ates and using it in your diet can be a more reliable source even if it's inaccessible Betadine is another iodine based antiseptic that will help maintain adequate iodine levels number eight calcium next up on
the list is the calcium problem many of you must must be thinking that there is no reason for us to worry about calcium since we have been taking milk since birth that's actually not the case milk alone cannot supplement Calcium deficiency and sometimes it may even be the cause when sunlight's ultraviolet rays fall on the skin the cholesterol stored in it is converted into Vitamin D so the ultraviolet rays from the Sun hit the skin and convert a form of cholesterol just under the skin to vitamin d and vitamin D is essential in the assimilation
of calcium and the utilization of calcium in the body vitamin D is also being hailed today as the anti-cancer vitamin in fact the research is showing that it can stop cancer in its tracks and even convert the cell back to a healthy cell that's quite remarkable vitamin D is very important because it is responsible for the proper functioning of calcium in the body sometimes even the lack of sunlight may cause Calcium deficiency Barbara O'Neal has a very interesting way of putting it she says that milk is damaging our body because it is high in calcium
but at the same time it's very high in animal protein and animal protein is the last thing you want to use as fuel in your body it's because a significant portion of animal protein results in acidic waste like sulfur waste the body tries to save you so it uses calcium a high alkaline component to neutralize this acid at the end of the day how much calcium is left in the body none this is why the countries that consume the most Dairy have the highest number of osteoporosis cases so what should we do should we just
quiet down and accept Our Fate Barbara tells us the solution for that as well and it's to eat greens well what she meant was that animals like the elephant have such strong bones and it's all through grass we should follow Nature's example and eat dark green veggies like broccoli and other leafy greens to maintain strong bones number seven magnesium magnesium is also one of the deadliest silent killers that you have neglected all your life but it's your time to make use of it so that you don't suffer from its deficiency well to be precise you
won't die from it but it's still pretty bad because you will be getting hypomagnesemia there are varying symptoms of it but the point remains that most of us are not getting much of it in our diet we will ask you where do you think we get our magnesium from in our diet you don't have to get embarrassed because that's what we are here for to tell you these things you just need to be consistent in eating eating leafy vegetables like spinach legumes whole grains Etc because if you regularly take them you will probably stay on
the green side of the chart Barbara shares that there are cases when you feel severe morning sickness which causes your mood to go bad for a long time morning sickness is a magnesium deficiency and some women suffer for months and months so all they need to do is get magnesium take even four doses a day so morning sickness is a magnesium deficiency she says that it's all just magnesium deficiency so all they need to do is take magnesium not the rock but in supplements four times a day is enough to make you feel like yourself
again number six the potassium sodium imbalance why do you think so many people are diagnosed with high blood pressure it's because of the parts of the diet that are silently killing us you don't need to quit your diet because you're scared after all Barbara tells us exactly what we need and how we can achieve the right balance firstly why is there an imbalance it's because today's highly processed foods cause you to consume high sodium and very low amounts of potassium to understand the depth of this balance we need to listen to Barbara's insights on the
right intake of sodium and potassium for Optimum Health she tells us that there is a balance outside and inside our cells where potassium is present inside the cells and sodium is present outside they work to give us the sodium potassium pump which helps us in practically everything what's happening nowaday days is that we are not eating our potassium through fruits and vegetables and we are increasing table salt intake by putting it everywhere there is an added intake of salt and not enough potassium to offset it but when someone's not eating enough fruits and vegetables and
that's where you get most of your potassium and they're putting table salt on everything far too much what happens now is sodium levels rise and potassium levels drop this makes it so that there is now a high concentration of sodium and almost nothing left inside the cell thanks to the processes of osmosis and diffusion the cell will now swell because of the higher sodium presence outside the cell what's this condition called it's high blood pressure we know that this is just the beginning and high blood pressure will cause many other not so happy diseases so
you guys better get this silent killer in control and eat as many of the fruits and vegetables as you can find number five iodine illusion we just talked about it but it's such a big scam that it needs another point from a different angle in this video we need to pay more attention to the iodine for our thyroid and although we have already given you Alternatives it doesn't mean you can overdo the supplements in your food to understand the mystery of iodine we need to hear Barbara explain how table salt is made there are around
92 minerals in sea water 30% is sodium and almost 50% is chloride of those 92 minerals 30% approximately 30% is sodium and of those 92 minerals approximately 50% is chloride they diet and then add some aluminum and voila you have your table salt ready so what man does is he Scoops up the first crystals formed he bleaches them white puts aluminium with it so that it runs freely and there's your table salt Barbara exclaims that table salt is a very dangerous thing that does more harm to your body than you can imagine some experts tell
us that these two minerals are so harsh that if you were to inject it into your bloodstream you would die Tel salt is a dangerous is a dangerous salt because we now have two very harsh minerals that if you were inject both of those into the blood you would die we have already explained the sodium potassium pump above so you must realize that you are eating an unbalanced product in your food is there no way to enjoy our meals with added seasoning of salt that's a very valid argument and the answer is yes you can
enjoy it but instead of table salt you need to start using Celtic salt for one thing it's pretty darn safe and for the other million reasons you will just have to stick around to find out number four the mineral absorption throughout this video we have explained that there are so many silent killers in our diet that we can't even discuss them all but one of the most important things that causes us to not absorb the needed minerals is a diet that lacks mineral rich foods in the first place many times farmers are not very resourceful
or don't have enough funds to fertilize the soil when they sew the fields a field that has been sewn multiple times before now lacks the minerals needed by plants and so the use of fertilizers becomes a necessity for healthy crops the mineral deficient soil then produces mineral deficient crops which we eat and our bodies absorb close to nothing because the plants barely have any essential minerals so we can work to make better food choices and select food that is properly grown to be a part of our diet such as from credible suppliers but there's a
lot of people eating fruits and vegetables every day and they're mineral deficient why cuz the soil's deficient and if the soil's deficient the plant will be deficient and if the plant's deficient the person that eats that plant will be number three the fast foods obviously when people live on fast food that is totally mineral deficient they're going to be mineral deficient there is no need for an argument or explanation here fast food is bad for you every adult knows this but we still see a huge number of buyers Barbara tells us that if you are
living on fast food then you are mineral deficient it's so bad that you have no idea this isn't even silent killing anymore it's a murder in broad daylight because according to Barbara mineral deficiency like this is causing a large percentage of DNA damage and they finding out that they're mineral deficient and it's because of the way that they're grown so that is one of the reasons and as you can see by what the research is showing even 92% of DNA damage has been caused by mineral deficient we are introduced to almost 30,000 new chemicals every
year we can't stop them but we can choose to have a healthy organic lifestyle because if we do that we have a chance to fight against these chemicals and super processed industry food items these chemicals seep down into our Foods somehow like contaminants or preservatives and at the end of the day they bring nothing but side effects even if they don't there's still no need for us to take a chance by what the research is showing even 92% of DNA damage has been caused by mineral deficient number two Celtic salt we have told you before
and we have mentioned Celtic salt a lot the reason for it is pretty simple it's almost like a risk-free salt the people with table salt only get two of the total 92 minerals that are found in seawater and this happens because they are the fastest when it comes to crystallization so they are simply scooped out early this causes the other 90 minerals that were supposed to balance the other two minerals to be left out so what you are eating is a very unstable product on the other hand we recommend Celtic salt because unlike table salt
which contains only two out of the 92 minerals it is a handh harvested salt that contains about 82 minerals CTIC salt contains 82 minerals it's a handh harvested sea salt so the minerals are in the Celtic salt in their balanced form what about Himalayan salt in many places him Himalayan salt is a lot easy to get they're 70 about 75 minerals so it's pretty good but I prefer the Celtic salt and one reason is that the Celtic salt has three magnesiums it contains magnesium chloride and mag magnesium bromide and magnesium sulfate magnesium is a water
hungry molecule and this explains why the Celtic salt is such a moist salt especially when we've had a lot of rain you can also use Himalayan salt but it only has 70 to 75 minerals so Celtic is better another interesting fact is that Celtic salt has the right concentration of magnesium since magnesium is a hydrating element it's going to Aid in cellular hydration which is what we need to stay healthy number one the cellular energy connection with all things in mind even if you think that you have a healthy diet it's not always the case
and proper mineral balance is needed for enough cellular energy to be produced Barbara explains that if we absorb the proper required minerals then not only will we stay safe from diseases but we won't have to worry about fatigue as well if you are feeling unusually exhausted remember that your body may not be producing the required amount of energy the reason for that mineral deficient efficiency thank you for watching the video we hope that you liked our list of Silent killers in your food if you have any questions don't forget to ask them in the comments
