Magnesium

Magnesium (Mg) is of crucial importance for the operation of the human body, where it regulates nearly 350 biochemical reactions.
But this mineral salt can only perform properly in the body if there is enough of it, considering that of all the Magnesium we introduce through eating, only one third is absorbed.
Stress, unbalanced diet, incorrect lifestyle are the threats we have to face day after day. A correct amount of Magnesium helps restore our psychic-physical balance.
Among its major functions are: maintaining normal muscular and nervous activity, regulation of the heartbeat, strengthening of the immune system and of bone tissue.
Magnesium also has anti-inflammatory effects on the skin and mucous and decongestant properties with respect to a number of internal organs.

Potassium and Iodine

Potassium (K) too is a very important element; in fact it is essential to our life because it performs a crucial action in synthesizing proteins and in converting sugars into glycogen; it activates numerous enzymes, especially those related to energy production and stimulates the secretion of insulin.
Many diets, based on cooked or refined foods, are poor in Potassium, which is mainly found in fruit, raw vegetables, legumes, whole grain cereals, hazelnuts, bananas and avocado.
Consequently, soaking our bodies in water rich in potassium helps make up for such shortages.
Finally, we must not forget a bio-essential micro element like Iodine (I) which is a part of many metabolic and hormone processes.
