In this video, we’re going to talk about the importance of the mineral phosphorus. Phosphorus is intimately involved in the formation of energy. It’s a vital component of ATP, the body’s main energy source.

Phosphorus is a component of the phospholipids that make up your body’s cell membranes. Phosphorus works with calcium in the body, so it’s also very important for bone health. Without enough phosphorus, you’ll feel fatigued. You may also have weak bones, joint pain, and joint stiffness.

The following foods are some of the best sources of phosphorus:
•Scallops
•Sardines
•Pumpkin seeds
•Fish
•Shrimp
•Cod
•Mushrooms
•Eggs
•Meat

Grains, legumes, and nuts contain phosphorus, but they also contain phytic acid which inhibits its absorption.
