What is the link between minerals and stress/anxiety? Nutrition expert, Dr. Gloria Gilbère, N.D., D.A.Hom., PhD. Many cases of anxiety are a matter of mineral deficiencies that create an imbalanced internal environment, causing a chain reaction that manifests as anxiety, panic or even depression as the body attempts to maintain balance but doesn’t have the tools (minerals/electrolytes) necessary. Because minerals are water-soluble, they are easily forced out of the body by internal and external stresses including exercise, emotions, menstruation, diarrhea and, of course, many prescription medications. Additionally, our body loses its ability to completely replenish nutrient levels as we age." CLAY HOME • DOGS • CATS • BIRDS • HORSES • PERSONAL CARE • PHS HOME
