Overfed and Undernourished & Manganese


To summarize the first article in this series, we continue to be a world of haves and have-nots but in today’s version even the haves are suffering and they are suffering from having too much. This too much is too much food but not enough nutrition. The haves can eat all the time but they are choosing to eat the wrong foods and or the empty foods. Empty foods meaning that they are eating but there is no nutritional value in the food that they are choosing to eat, this is why we are giving you this information on where to find the whole food sources for the majority of your vitamin and mineral needs.
In this supplement we are covering the systems supported, the benefits to be found and the whole food sources for Manganese.
Systems support and Benefits:
Blood, hepatic, immune, musculoskeletal, nervous, and reproductive systems. Manganese supports normal bone formation and promotes the formation and activation of certain enzymes, including those that metabolize reactive oxygen species, some of which are involved in carbohydrate, amino acid, and cholesterol metabolism. Manganese is also required for the detoxification of ammonia which is naturally produced in the body.
Food sources:
Almonds, beets, broccoli, brown rice, carrots, cloves, garbanzo beans, green peas, lima beans, liver, navy beans, nutritional yeast, peanuts, pecans, pineapple, pinto beans, raspberries, soybeans, spinach, sweet potatoes, walnuts, wheat germ, whole grains (esp. oats and rye).
