Category: Minerals & Alkalinity

Mineral balance and alkalinity are essential for maintaining enzyme activity, detoxification, and stable mood chemistry. The body’s biochemical reactions, including methylation, depend on proper acid–base balance and the availability of key minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, and zinc. When acidity rises due to poor diet, stress, or toxin buildup, enzymes slow and detox pathways—especially in the liver and kidneys—become less efficient. Posts in this section explain how alkalinity supports methyl group transfer and how minerals help buffer acids that accumulate from protein metabolism and oxidative stress. Zinc plays a central role in methylation and neurotransmitter regulation, while magnesium supports relaxation, ATP production, and glutathione synthesis. A mineral-rich diet—featuring vegetables, greens, mineral water, and moderate protein—can reduce systemic acidity and improve energy, clarity, and emotional stability. Simple practices such as baking soda in water, deep breathing, and hydration also aid pH balance. Together, mineral support and alkalinity enhance detoxification, cellular repair, and overall metabolic health.
