We talked about all the different aspects of minerals for the body during the last three years and that series ended with a summary. In that summary we suggested a topic about food sources for minerals. It is impossible to list all the food sources for all minerals, but it is possible to find the best sources for some of the major minerals and also some trace minerals. The important thing is to know what your body needs and then find the food that will give the body what is needs. You must find what is right for your body. Do not guess or blindly or randomly make arbitrary choices that effect your health.

I am going to only list a few foods where you can get a high content of that specific mineral, but remember these foods also have other minerals in them at different concentrations. This is important to remember because your body may not need those that are in the food with the high concentration of the mineral that you body does need. You need to make sure that you know what you consume, so that you can maximize your health.

The highest food for: is in:

Magnesium Avocados, or almonds or cashews

Calcium Plain Low Fat Yogurt, Green Vegetables

Potassium Avocados

Iron Calf or Beef Liver

Zinc Oysters, Eggs, and Whole Wheat

Selenium Mushrooms, Radishes, Wheat Germ

Phosphorus Fish and Poultry

Manganese Leafy green Vegetables and Whole Grains

Chromium Shellfish, Whole Wheat and Mushrooms

Iodine Seafoods

Sulfur Eggs, Onions and Garlic

Fluorine Don’t take unless you MD tells you.

Vanadium Olive Oil

Nickel Unprocessed grains

Cobalt Leafy green vegetables, Liver and Kidney

Silicon Vegetables

Copper Raisins

Boron Fruits and Vegetables

It is noted that excess in any mineral can cause health problems; therefore you need to consult your health care professional before you decide to use dietary means to increase your level of health. Minerals in the body need to be balanced for optimum health. Out of balanced minerals in the body can cause serious health problems.
