14 DAY TRIAL // It is really amazing to see in how many ways copper can help us improve our health or prevent us from getting ill. But how can a metal have such a beneficial influence on our body? This is because copper is vital for the collagen synthesis, for the use of iron in hemoglobin and for the vitamin C metabolism.
This way, copper becomes an active agent that provides us with a beautiful hair, helps us diminish the joint affections (which are very frequent, especially in high performance athletes.)
However, the individuals that benefit the most from the curative effects of copper are the ones who suffer from arthritis, because they can wear copper bracelets around their wrist in order to reduce the pain and cure the symptoms. In the past, women used to wear copper earrings to cure or protect them from arthritis. But recently there has been developed a new, more discreet method for benefiting from copper - small copper disks that can be clung against the back of the wrist watch.
Some specialists claim that wearing a copper bracelet around the wrist for 30 days leads to the absorption into the body of 13 mgs of copper - taking into account the fact that the daily recommended dose of copper consists in 1,5 - 3 mgs.
One can always supplement the dose of copper in the body by consuming natural sources of copper, such as sea fruits, red wine, chocolate, nuts, beans, peas, mushrooms etc.
The therapeutic effects of copper extend also upon skin disorders, cataract, sexually transmitted diseases or lungs problems. Lack of copper in the body can affect the structure and functions of the conjunctive tissues and joints.
Nutritive minerals deficiency (calcium, copper, zinc, chrome, magnesium) from the metabolic system and from our hair can have very serious effects on our health, as a medical research - lead by Dr. Lynn Wecker and team from Louisiana State Medical Centre - has reached the conclusion that most of the people that suffer from autism display nutritional imbalance of the minerals in the body.
Nevertheless, we have to pay high attention to the dose of copper our body needs, because exceeding the amount of copper recommended for our organism may turn this nutritive metal into a toxic one. Therefore, when toxic, copper may cause a series of severe illnesses, leading especially to zinc deficit in the body - another very beneficial mineral for our health.
