About this ebook

Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral in the body after calcium and phosphorous.
It's an important mineral element that you get almost wholly through dietary proteins such as meat and fish and legumes.
Sulfur is a mineral in the body that is needed for:
1. Enzyme activity,
2. Hormone balance,
3. Function of the immune system.
4. It is an important component of collagen and connective tissues that assists the body in preventing inflammation and facilitating connective tissue repair.
5. It is very useful for healing skin and digestive problems.
In removing fluids and toxins, sulfur affects the cell membrane.
Sulfur is present in all cells and forms sulfate compounds with sodium, potassium, magnesium, and selenium.
Organic sulfur in addition to eliminating heavy metals regenerates, repairs and rebuilds all the cells in the body.
Important dietary sources of sulfur and sulfur containing compounds may be classified as essential mineral (e.g. elemental sulfur), essential amino acid (methionine) and semi-essential amino acid (e.g. cysteine).
Methionine cannot be synthesized by humans and cysteine synthesis requires a steady supply of sulfur present in protein amino acids present in meat and fish.
Sulfur deficiency causes age-related problems such as skin disease, joint pains, poor digestion.
Treatment is by sulfur supplements such as Dimethyl sulfoxide and Methylsulfonylmethane or in sulfur rich foods such as eggs, meat, poultry, fish, garlic, brussels sprouts.

    Interesting Tips about the Sulfur Deficiency

    A Healthy Lifestyle

    1. Take a well Balanced Diet

    2. The goal of sulfur Deficiency treatment is in the function of insulin by building proteins it improves immunity and healing

    As part of four amino acids, sulfur is readily available in protein foods-meats, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, and legumes are all good sources.

    Egg yolks are one of the better sources of sulfur.

    Other foods that contain this somewhat smelly mineral are onions, garlic, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and turnips. Nuts have some as do kale, lettuce, kelp and other seaweed, and raspberries.

    Complete vegetarians and people on low-protein diets may not get sufficient amounts of sulfur;

    The resulting sulfur deficiency is difficult to differentiate clinically from protein deficiency which is of much greater concern.

    Sulfur supplements are available in two main forms:

    dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).

    Healthy people who eat a well-balanced diet do not usually need extra sulfur.

    People who follow a vegan diet may be at risk for sulfur deficiency.

    3. Keep bones and body strong

    Bone marrow produces our blood

    Eat foods rich in calcium like yogurt, cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables.

    Eat foods rich in Vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish, cereal, and fortified milk.

    Eat food rich in Vitamins B and C such as green vegetables and fruits

    Zinc and other minerals are important to the body

    4. Get enough rest and Sleep

    Avoid stress and tension

    5. Exercise and stay active.

    It is best to do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights for 2½ hours a week.

    One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week.

    Begin slowly especially if a person has not been active.

    6. Do not drink more than 2 alcohol drinks a day for a man or 1 alcohol drink a day for a woman.

    Alcohol use also increases the chance of falling and breaking a bone.

    Alcohol can affect the neurons and brain cells.

    7. Stop or do not begin smoking.

    It also interferes with blood supply and healing.
