Phosphorus is a mineral found in all cells and body fluids, aids in cell division, their presence is essential for the formation and maintenance of bones, muscle tissue, development of teeth and normal secretion of breast milk. Phosphorus-rich foods are: egg, honey, seaweed, soy lecithin, milk, dried fruits, whole grains and legumes. Lemon and alfalfa contain phosphorus in good percentage.

The phosphorus-calcium balance in the body is very important, since the excess of one affects the ability to absorb the other. The lack of phosphorus in the diet causes weakness, tremors, dysarthria, low morale and, in some cases, anorexia and respiratory disorders. The daily requirement of phosphorus ranges from 800 to 1200 mg, especially under 25.

    What are the benefits of phosporus and what can cause its lack or excess?

    I just read another email that was talking about hte benefits of phosphorus and all the things that could go wrong if the body’s balance is left…imbalanced! I had no idea that phosphorus and calcium were so dependent on each other. These look like great reicpes, and I’m sure they benefit more than just phosphorus.
