Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a very important role in our bodies. Trace minerals are minerals where our bodies only need a small amount to function. This doesn’t mean though that it is unnecessary. Chromium comes in two forms trivalent and hexavalent chromium. Trivalent chromium is the one we need as hexavalent is toxic to humans.
Chromium helps to prevent type 1 and type 2 diabetes and can also help with brain help and weight loss.
I was born in the Caribbean where everything I ate was organic - but I didn't even know it then. Then I realized foods cooked with minimally processed ingredients just tasted better, more wholesome. I spent years trying to make almost everything myself. I went to the extremes and then balanced out a bit. I now live in the US where life can be really busy at times. I am still very passionate about eating clean, but recognize that its not always possible. My articles emphasize this mind-set. I don't want to shame someone for eating processed foods, but my goal is to research and educate and then encourage living a healthier lifestyle when life allows it.http://159.65.166.150
