​Things to KNOW About ​​​Phosphorus:

​Phosphorus, along with the other five essential minerals (​calcium, chloride, ​magnesium, potassium, and sodium), are also classified as electrolytes, chemicals that conduct electricity when mixed with water. ​The electricity generated by electrolytes ​helps with the communication between the cells and supports many bodily functions.

​​Electrolytes are ​responsible for maintaining water balance in the body by monitoring the balance of fluids inside the cells (intracellular) and outside the cells (extracellular). Maintaining fluid balance between these two environments is critically important for hydration, nutrient absorption, heart function, nerve impulses, muscle contractions, blood pressure, brain function, blood pH levels, and detoxification.

​Staying hydrated and eating foods high in essential minerals will ensure that you maintain a healthy electrolyte balance. ​An electrolyte imbalance can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including dehydration, fatigue, muscle cramps, weakness, thirst, nausea, confusion, irregular heartbeat, or stomach pain. Consequently, it's important to replenish the electrolytes lost through extensive exercise or heavy sweating.

​​​Phosphorus ​is the second most plentiful mineral in the human body after calcium, making up about 1% of your body weight. ​​Phosphorus binds together with calcium to produce strong bones and teeth. As a result, 85% of the phosphorus in the body is found in bones and teeth.

We’ve all been trained to credit the diet when we lose weight—and blame ourselves when we gain it all back. The word “diet” in this sense is defined as “restricting oneself to small amounts of specific foods to lose weight.”
What if there was just one New Year’s resolution—that if you kept it—could change your life forever?
And we’d all have bruised booties and a hard time sitting down! 🤣
🍎 “An apple a day does keep the doctor away!”
Don’t we all just want to be acknowledged, accepted, appreciated, and loved? 💕
Salad jars are convenient and portable way to get a good amount of your daily veggies in one meal.
