The Healthy Temple

Most of us gauge our health by how we look and feel, but this can only tell us so much. There is a way to tell how well the body is functioning on an intracellular level without requiring invasive medical tests however - through the hair. While most people’s interest in their hair extends only so far as to whether they are having a “good” or a “bad” hair day, in fact your hair can reveal much about your inner health. Vital information about the body’s chemistry is locked into every strand of hair, reflecting your energy, diet, environment and well being.Mineralcheck tells you whether your body has all the minerals you need - and in the right quantities. Tissue mineral analysis is unique in that it inexpensively provides information directly about cellular activity, which is the main site of nutritional metabolism. As important as vitamins are, they can do nothing for the body without proper mineral intake. Vitamins cannot function and are unable to be assimilated without the aid of minerals.

Hair mineral analysis is a screening test to measure the levels of 22 or more minerals in the hair tissue. Hair is tested because it is a rapidly-growing tissue that can be sampled easily and safely. The site of metabolism is the tissues, not the blood or urine. Hair provides a unique, biopsy type of reading of metabolic activity.
Minerals tested include the electrolytes - calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus. Trace minerals tested include copper, manganese, chromium, selenium, iron, molybdenum, lithium, cobalt, zinc and others. Toxic metals tested include lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, aluminum and others. At the root of optimal health is mineral balance. Chemically, all living things are a combination of water, carbon, nitrogen, and all of the other elements or minerals found on the planet. The amounts of each element required for optimal health are precise.
