Chromium


Summary: A lot of people don’t usually get enough chromium in their diets.  To get about 200 micrograms in a diet is having over 12,000 calories daily according to the department of agriculture.  Dieting is not the best to get chromium.  The best is by supplementing chromium.  There are a lot of good things that chromium does.  It normalizes blood sugar levels (making it a diabetes fighter) and it controls insulin, raises good cholesterol, lowers bad cholesterol levels, lowers blood pressure, reduces the chance of having heart disease, increases immune system functioning, and even boosts levels of DHEA. 

Critique: As you can see, chromium is a good mineral to have.  This is not the only mineral that is good for the body.  But make sure that you have your daily vitamins and minerals to keep the body healthy. 

Impact: I think gaining over 12,000 calories is not worth it.  There a lot of other minerals out there that is easier to have.  Gaining 12,000 calories is not worth it either.
