Buying The blunt-ended Cavendish variety has been the primary banana available but markets now regularly feature smaller and more colorful varieties, including small Lady Fingers, chunky Burro bananas, and plump, small red bananas. Dried bananas and banana flour are available but harder to find. | | Health Benefits The stronger flavor of black sesame seeds indicates that they are higher in minerals and trace nutrients than lighter-colored sesame seeds. Black sesame is a general building tonic: It nourishes blood and strengthens the kidneys and liver. It treats constipation, dry cough, blurry vision, ringing in the ears, low backache, weak knees, stiff joints, nervous spasms, headache, insufficient mother's milk, and dizziness. Black sesame seeds reduce vata beautifully.

It can be stored in your body and need not be replenished every day.
It occurs in two forms—preformed vitamin A, called retinol (found only in foods of animal origin), and provitamin A, known as carotene (provided by foods of both plant and animal origin).
Vitamin A is measured in USP Units (United States Pharmacopeia), IU (International Units), and RE (Retinol Equivalents). (See section 168.)
1,000 RE (or 5,000 IU) is the recommended daily dosage for adult males to prevent deficiency. |

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND FOODS
Soy contains phytic acid, which may bind with certain minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper and iron, reducing their availability.
OVERDOSAGE
There are no reports of overdosage.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
There are several soy protein supplements available. Typically the soy protein supplements contain soy isoflavones. Dosage is variable.
A total intake of 25 to 50 grams of soy protein and 50 milligrams of soy isoflavones daily may have cardiovascular and other health benefits. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Your two most important infection-fighting minerals are zinc and selenium. There are a wide variety of lozenges available at your health food store that contain zinc, selenium and vitamin C. Pass on those with a lot of sugar.
Bacteria are also adverse to high temperatures, which is why we sometimes get a fever when we get infections. This is why it's important not to bring down a fever unless it's dangerously high. The fever is the very thing that will kill the bacteria or virus that's making you sick. It is especially important to allow children to have a fever, up to 103 or 104 degrees F. | | Along with the water you lose minerals, most notably calcium, magnesium and potassium. They are commonly used in conventional medicine to treat high blood pressure, swelling of the lower legs and congestive heart disease. People who use diuretics have a higher risk of fracture. If you need to use a diuretic, try a gentle herbal one such as dandelion root in a tincture, capsule or tea.
High-Dose Cortisone
A well-known risk for osteoporosis is long-term treatment with the synthetic cortisones such as prednisone. | | What Else to Take While Taking This Drug
Corticosteroids cause increased excretion of potassium, calcium, zinc and magnesium and this can result in depletion of these important minerals. Use supplements of each mineral.
Your need for the vitamins B6, C and D is increased during corticosteroid therapy. A good multivitamin should supply enough B6 and D, but you should use extra vitamin C. Try 2,000 mg a day in divided doses.
Use extra probiotics to help maintain healthy intestinal flora and be sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly after each inhaled dose to prevent oral Candida infection. | | Dozens of side effects may occur, including weight gain, water retention, increased susceptibility to infection, high blood pressure, imbalances of minerals such as potassium and calcium and protein loss.
Caution! Think Twice About Taking These Drugs If . . .
• You are having an acute attack of asthma. Corticosteroids don't work fast enough to help under these circumstances.
• You have any kind of systemic fungal infection, including Candida, a very common problem that can be made much worse by taking steroid drugs. |

Pectin may decrease the absorption of such minerals in foods as zinc, copper, iron and calcium.
Pectin, when used concomitantly with lovastatin, caused a paradoxical increase in LDL-cholesterol. It was thought that the pectin reduced the absorption of lovastatin.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
There are no typical doses of pectin supplements. Doses of 10 to 15 grams daily have been used in studies showing cholesterol-lowering effects in hypercholesterolemic individuals. Pectin supplements should be used with plenty of fluid. |

See book keywords and concepts | | It also contains chlorophyll, carotenoids, minerals, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and some unique pigments. These pigments, called phycobilins, include phycocyanin and allophycocyanin. The pigments give spirulina their bluish tinge. Phycobilins are similar in structure to bile pigments such as bilirubin. In the spirulina cell, phycobilins are attached to proteins; the phycobilin-protein complex is called phycobiliprotein.

Some fruit is still sun-dried, which is certainly the most natural method and, where labor is cheap, the most economical method. Solar drying, recently introduced on a commercial level, intensifies the sun's heat; the fruit retains more flavor and nutrients and is more tender. The United States is the largest producer of raisins and prunes.
Health Benefits In moderation, dried fruits are nutritive, they tonify the spleen-pancreas, help build muscles, and nurture body mass. |

See book keywords and concepts |  He believed that a number of metabolic functions were deficient in cancer patients, including the metabolism of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. He also believed that oxygen-supplying enzymes had been inactivated and that the vitality of intestinal bacteria had been impaired.
Gerson believed that his therapy reversed these elements of impaired metabolism. But he also believed that, if the diet and other medications were given without active detoxification, the patient could often die from a liver overburdened by the toxins being released from the body. |

Psyllium may decrease the absorption of such minerals as zinc, copper, iron, calcium and magnesium if used concomitantly.
OVERDOSAGE
No reports.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Psyllium supplements are typically used in powder form, along with adequate amounts of fluids.
A dose of at least 7 grams daily taken with adequate amounts of fluid (water, juice) is used by some for management of elevated cholesterol.
There are a number of psyllium products used for constipation. The usual dose is about 3.5 grams twice a day. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The therapy involves 20 to 30 intravenous infusions of EDTA with minerals over a period of three to five months. Each infusion should last three to four hours. Kidney function and urine tests need to be followed. Obviously, better results will be found in those who change their lifestyles (stop smoking, control blood pressure, change diet, control cholesterol and homocysteine, exercise etc.) These infusions cost $50 to $100 each, which often is not covered by insurance. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Plant foods supply an array of vitamins, minerals, and phytochem-icals—many of which are antioxidants. The antioxidant nutrients safeguard plants against the very oxygen that they produce. In us humans, these nutrients prevent and even reverse oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals.
Among the known antioxidants are vitamin C, vitamin E, and the mineral selenium; the carotenoids, including beta-carotene; the antho-cyanidins, pigments that give plums, grapes, blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, and other dark fruits their color; and coenzyme Q10. | | Processing removes fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial phytochemicals from foods, replacing them with sugar, salt, preservatives, artificial flavors, and often extra fat. In effect, processing means removing the preventive medicines and replacing them with free radicals, which are nothing more than slow-acting poisons. That's why I prefer fresh whole foods—whole grains, whole fruits, whole veggies, whole beans, whole spices, and whole herbs—over processed foods. | | As a source of certain minerals, amaranth is near the top of the charts. Do you like spinach? Amaranth is cheaper and just as nutritious. Gather the young leaves and steam them like spinach. I often add lemon, vinegar, and hot sauce. chickweed (stellaria media). An annual, chickweed pops up early in rich, abandoned soils. It has lots of vitamin E and estrogenic isoflavones, which help prevent breast cancer. Gather the young leaves and steam them. Some people, including me, like to add a few raw leaves to their salads. dandelion {taraxacum officinale). | | You need several other minerals as well, including magnesium and manganese. You'll find both of them in greens.
Women with osteoporosis often have low levels of magnesium. For preserving bone density, the combination of magnesium and calcium is much more effective than calcium alone. If you need more magnesium, you may want to start eating more black-eyed peas, purslane, and spinach. All three are good sources of the mineral, as are amaranth, stinging nettle, and sorrel. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Fatty acids make up the membrane infrastructure of brain cells, they are imbedded with antioxidants that protect the message content and transmission apparatus.
2. minerals provide for electric circuitry and fluid balance within brain cells and along nerve axons.
3. Vitamin coenzymes regulate the sending, receiving, and processing of messages.
Of these three groups of nutrients, the most heavily researched are the fatty acids and that's where I'll begin.
Fatty Acids and Brain Cells
Composed of 60 percent fats, the brain is a very fatty tissue. | | I will discuss how minerals should be purchased in Part IV.
Now, let's look at magnesium and its effects on AD/HD.
In 1997, a Polish research team headed by Tadeusz Kozielec assessed magnesium levels in 116 children with AD/HD. Ninety-seven of the nine- to twelve-year-old children were boys, and twenty were girls. Sixty-eight of them (fifty boys, eighteen girls) had other disorders such as enuresis, tics, stuttering, and separation anxiety coexisting with AD/HD. As we have seen, these conditions are typical in a population of AD/HD children. | | Lead reduces the level of magnesium and other minerals that are needed for processing information, including manganese, copper, zinc, and iron.
AD/HD and Lead Levels in Children
In 1966, Robert Tuthill, Ph.D., of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, analyzed scalp hair specimens from 277 first-grade students in area public schools for lead content. Ninety-six percent of the students were Caucasian, and half were male. All were six and a half to seven and a half years of age, and their parents all had completed education beyond high school. | | Continue on the minerals, vitamins, and OPC or Pyc-nogenol. After two weeks, decrease a fatty acid capsule a second day. Keep reducing this supplement until you or your child is taking one fatty acid capsule per day, and a multivitamin mineral capsule five days out of seven. Each individual will respond a little differendy and have different nutrient needs. You will be the best judge of what amounts of dietary supplements you or your child needs to feel and perform your best, based on your reaction to these reductions. | | It suggests that when she became pregnant with Justin, Ann was still low in several essential nutrients, such as fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins, which would cause a deficiency in Justin and add to his movement in the womb.
When Justin arrived home with Ann from the hospital he slept only two hours a day. Often he would doze after breast-feeding lightly, only to awaken again when his parents put him down. They would then pick him up and Ann would offer him more to eat, but many times all he wanted was to be held. |
