Silica
has always been a lesser unknown mineral in the bottled water. Silica
is a substance as important in the healthy function of your body as water.
Research has proven that the essential mineral Silica plays a vital role
in the human body, by strengthening connective tissue, healthy skin, rejuvenating
hair, nails and bones. Babies have more Silica in their bodies than adults.
Ever wondered why? Foods typically rich in Silica are today often grown
in mineral depleted soil, thus providing insufficient quantities of silica
in our diet to maintain reasonable good levels in our bodies. Babies are
born with a good level of Silica, but with the ageing process the supply
of Silica diminishes and is not easily regenerated. This has been a problem
for many adults, because Silica is also necessary for calcium absorption
in the body and is needed to maintain healthy blood vessels. You can see
the effects of inadequate intake of Silica in dry or wrinkled skin, dull
lifeless hair and brittle nails.
All connective tissue contains silica, so every strand of hair, every
inch of skin, every millimetre of nail, every fibre of muscle and
portion of bone contains silica. Hair, skin, nails, bone and muscle are
healthy and strong depends largely on how much silica is present.
Young, growing tissue has the most, and doesn't it show? Remember the
dewy complexions and shiny hair of your youth? Silica makes hair strong
and shiny and holds moisture into skin, to make it plump and smooth -
no wrinkles there.
