| Phosphorus is a mineral
that helps your body in processing vitamins and the conversion of food into
energy. A proper balance of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus is required
everyday. If any of these minerals is in present in the body in too little
or too much amount there are adverse effects.
Phosphorus is required by the body for bone and
teeth formation.
Not getting enough phosphorus can contribute to
the following health problems: anxiety, bone problems, fatigue, irregular
breathing, irritability, numbness, skin sensitivity, stress, teeth weakness,
tremors, weakness, worry, and weight changes.
Strangely, a diet consisting of junk food can
have too much phosphorus and this effects the body's processing of calcium.
It has also been found that vitamin D boosts the effectiveness of
phosphorus. The mineral magnesium helps in the absorption of phosphorus.
