Let's Talk About

Minerals

The importance of minerals to for our overall vibrant health is hard to overstate. Some are required to give the “spark of life” to metabolic functions involving the creation of energy (as electrolytes), among many other important functions . Some minerals, such as magnesium, are an essential element for both animals and plants, involved in literally hundreds of enzymatic reactions affecting virtually all aspects of life.

In the book, Nourishing Traditions we learn the proper way to take in minerals is through mineral-rich water and properly prepared bone broths, nutrient-dense foods and beverages, and unrefined sea salt. We stock these items (and a recipe for properly prepared broth) at A Healthy Horizon!

Celtic Sea Salt

Unrefined so that the mineral profile is retained; a truly natural, healthy sea salt.

Nuts

Nuts are a top source of minerals. High mineral nuts include almonds, cashews, and for selenium: Brazil nuts. Below are some of the raw nuts we offer in the shop.

Transdermal Magnesium

Another great way to absorb our minerals is through our skin (transdermally). This is done safely, with no side effects, with the added benefit of relieving sore, aching muscles, joints and stress. At A Healthy Horizon, we carry Transdermal Magnesium as an 'oil', lotion, or flakes to be added to a bath or foot soak.

Come see us for your oral magnesium needs as well. We offer several options that include the most digestible forms of magnesium available.

"Should I Supplement?"

Many nutrients work together, and this is why getting enough of each one of them is vital to our well-being. While supplementing our diet with isolated vitamins can be temporarily beneficial, the best, most balanced source of vitamins for the long term is properly prepared whole foods. Vitamins and minerals are better absorbed through our foods than supplements since our foods contain companion nutrients which help direct the vitamins and minerals into the correct cells. If we isolate a nutrient and take it in a different ratio through a supplement, it could potentially cause an imbalance of other nutrients. So, try to improve your diet before adding in supplements.

However, we are all different and there may be good reasons for you to add in a supplement. Doing so can fill a much-needed nutritional gap but before adding in a supplement, look for brands that concentrate on quality ingredients with few or no fillers. This is where we come in! At A Healthy Horizon, we carefully scrutinize all products before choosing them to ensure we can offer you the cleanest products, of the highest quality.
