Food Nutrient Benefits

Following up on my post titled “Food for Health,” the nutrients listed there usually include these benefits:

Magnesium (nuts): can help with sleep, sound sensitivity, binding toxins, and protein needs.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC): can help rebuild the body after toxic damage.

Probiotics: can help shut off mast cells, detox the body, rebuild the body, reduce heartburn and reflux, balance body biome, reduce burping, digest properly, increase digestive enzymes, reduce indigestion, and increase energy.

Fish oil and other good oils: can help protect the skin, hydrate the skin, and help the brain recover from mold and chemicals.

Monolaurin: mild antibacterial properties.

Antioxidants: repair damage caused by oxidative stress in the body.

Antioxidant-rich Fruit

Phytonutrients (in fruits, veggies, and whole grains): can help reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease.

Curcumin: has anti-inflammatory properties. It can help arthritis in dogs and inflammatory problems in humans.

About Christa Upton

I am a wife and mother of three children ages 11, 14, and 18. I used to be a stay-at-home mom (teaching piano & dance, volunteering, etc). From 2007 to 2010, I suffered accidental Toxic Injury (also called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity or MCS). MCS has had major impact on our family, but the forced time in bed has given me time to write. So far, I have published 4 children's books (2 in e-book format on Kindle, one in Print-on-Demand at CreateSpace, and one printed by a local printer). Sometimes I miss my old life, but I love writing for children!
