The Most Important Minerals Necessary For Effective Workouts

Almost all minerals that we learn about in school during chemistry classes are found in the human body.  When engaging in exercise or training to achieve weight loss or build muscles, there are several minerals that you should pay attention to in your diet for better results.

Calcium Is Needed For Bone Strength And Muscle Contraction

Calcium is an essential mineral for physical activity because it is incorporated into bones, where it provides strength and prevents fractures. Insufficient calcium can make you vulnerable to joint or bone damage during your workouts. Calcium works together with vitamin D, which enhances its absorption and utilization in the bones. Calcium is also required for muscle contraction, and low calcium levels usually result in chest pains and dizziness because the heart muscle is very vulnerable to a calcium deficiency. Foods abundant in calcium are milk and dairy products, cheese, eggs and green vegetables.

Magnesium Participates in Brain And Nerve Cell Metabolism

Magnesium supplementation is usually recommended by doctors for people with neurologic problems or during periods of high stress. It usually works together with vitamin B6 to ensure a healthy brain metabolism and provide protection to nerve cells from stress-related damage and toxins. Even if you don't have neurologic problems, you may want to supplement your magnesium intake when you engage in moderate to strenuous exercise because it requires substantial effort from your brain and nerves to stimulate and contract your muscles. The champions in magnesium abundance are whole-grains, green "power" veggies and algae. For proper magnesium intake, and also other essential minerals, consider supplementing your diet with Greenergy Green Drink, which is made from high-quality green vegetable extracts, sea vegetables, algae and natural, nutritious herbs.

Iron Supplementation Improves Physical Performance By Enhancing Oxygen Utilization

Iron is used in your body to create hemoglobin, which is a central component of red blood cells. It is used to bind oxygen, and transport it to your brain, muscles and other cells. Iron deficiency may translate into anemia, also known as a low red blood cell count. The main symptoms of anemia are intolerance of physical exertion and fatigue. Iron supplementation is beneficial for children, breast-feeding women and individuals who are training for weight loss or building muscle. Iron is found in very high amounts in the liver. However, if you don't like to eat beef, pork or chicken liver, you may eat meat, eggs, spinach or other green vegetables, which are also abundant in iron.
