Morley Robbins - Copper Special

Copper - A Conductor of Health For billions of years, copper has been a fundamental building block of life. In the present day, copper is the unsung precious metal missing in many of our lives. Today we speak with Morley Robbins, one of the foremost experts on magnesium's role in the body, and the delicate dance magnesium plays with iron, copper and calcium. We open the show by taking a look at the copper balance in the body. Morley tells how, although we each have 5,000 milligrams of iron in the body and only 90 milligrams of copper, maintaining this ratio is essential to good health. We hear about copper's regulatory role in the body, while Morley banishes common misnomers about its function. He goes on to tell us how copper is extremely useful when it comes to energy management, and why this process is vital to fight stress. Before diving into the four different types of stress we're exposed to, Morley explains mitochondria in great detail, and how their relationship with energy is misunderstood by scientists at the highest level.As our conversation develops, Morley also explains the connectedness between energy and disease, and why energy deficiency is at the centre of many chronic diseases.Morley tackles the issue by identifying how you can up your intake of copper by consuming beef liver, oysters and bee pollen.
