How to Use Minerals to Increase Metabolism

Hi, my name is Brenda Thompson, registered dietitian and owner of Life Skills Nutrition. In this segment I am going to talk about minerals specific to the metabolism. All nutrients are important in the development, growth, and maintenance of the human body. Eating a variety of foods from all the food groups provides adequate nutrients needed for healthy weight loss. However, there are some minerals that are specific to protein, carbohydrate, and fat, metabolism. These minerals include the following, and I will include five foods which you will find these minerals, to give you an example of where you might find these minerals. The first one is chromium, and it is found in mushrooms, green peppers, apples, whole grains, and potatoes. Iron, which is found in meat, poultry, fish, dried beans, and green leafy vegetables. Magnesium, which is found in whole grains, broccoli, nuts, milk, and legumes. Manganese, which is found in whole grains, spinach, blueberries, almonds, and pineapples. Phosphorus is found in beef, poultry, fish, enriched bread, and dairy products. Zinc is the last one, and you will find zinc in whole wheat, nuts, ginger root, carrots, and garlic. These minerals are not limited to these foods, it is just a suggestion. As you can see, it is very important to get a variety of foods from the food guide pyramid in order to get all of the minerals associated to your metabolism and weight loss.
