Your Body Made Of Metal

The body is made of metal, not completely but there are a lot of different minerals in there. Everyone hears about iron and how they get it in their eggs in the morning.

Sure iron is great, it is going to give you a great boost of energy, but it isn't going to be worth squat if you do not have any copper in your blood. Copper is an integral part of enzymes in the body.

Enzymes are responsible for biochemically reactions in cells, so that your body can use the nutrients it gets from the foods it eats. This is going to give purpose to eating rather than just mindless indulgence.

The intestines pull the nutrients out of foods, so that you can later synthesize them to fortify your fibrous muscle tissue. Though your muscle may feel like rocks, they are in fact just a tissue, similar to skin but only in the context that they are categorized similarly.

If it weren't for the combined teamwork of the bacteria in the intestines breaking down the foods and absorbing nutrients, and the power of copper in the blood then the body would not be able to grow or develop in anyway. Copper is mostly used in the absorption, storage and metabolism of iron.

Your body needs these minerals to grow and to provide energy. Along with these, magnesium is vitally important in over three hundred chemical reactions in the body.

That means if you don't get your magnesium you are going to start noticing some changes. A deficiency in copper is going to be much like having a deficiency in iron.

Usually people with iron deficiency report sluggish feelings that are relatable to lethargy and also they are prone to anemia. Anemia is, according to dictionary dot com, the quantitative deficiency of hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin attaches to red blood cells after it has filled itself with fresh oxygen from the lungs. You may have noticed that when you stand up to fast the head feels light and you may also pass out.

The reason is there is a lack of oxygen fed to the brain. Oxygen creates loads of energy.

Many people are not aware of this fact, but often trainers will not be able to increase their muscle size because they do not have strong enough cardio to pump enough oxygen. You can also get the proper amount of copper and iron in your diet to support got oxygenating energy.

It is unlikely that you have a copper deficiency but if you want to test yourself eat some mollusks and see if your energy improves. If it does, then you might have to incorporate more copper into your diet.
