Manganese is a mineral used to help with osteoporosis, anemia and even some symptoms of PMS. It also helps our body to process cholesterol, protein, and carbohydrates. Manganese can also be topically applied to wounds for healing.
A deficiency of manganese includes diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis.
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
