PHOSPHORoUS
By: Laasya and zoha
What it IS
Phosphorus is the second most plentiful mineral in our bodies after calcium. People usually get enough phosphorous into their daily diet without even knowing. Unlike most minerals and vitimans, people often have too much phosphorous than less of it. However, certain health conditions (such as diabetes and alcoholism) or medications (such as some antacids) can cause phosphorus levels in your body to drop too low. Too high or too low levels can cause heart disease, joint pain, or fatigue. In these cases you should consult with a doctor.
