ABOUT EPISODE 4 - Mineral Balancing for Healthy Diets
It is not enough to get the right total amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals in your diet. It is also important to make sure that the relative ratios of these elements fall within the boundaries of what is required for living cells.
This episode uses research reported in
