Facts about Minerals and Trace Elements :
All nutrients such as vitamins, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, oils, etc. require minerals for proper cellular function. All bodily processes depend upon the action and presence of minerals.
For proper functioning in the body vitamins have to work together with minerals since they cannot be
absorbed without the aid of minerals. While the human machinery can manufacture some vitamins, it cannot manufacture a single mineral. The importance of minerals is clear when it is realised that all body tissues and fluids contain some of all minerals. Minerals are in bones, teeth, soft tissue, muscle, blood, and nerve cells.
In the soil are different kinds of elements of which man is composed. The body must be nourished by the same elements as those of which it consists. Our bodies are made up from the food we eat.
Food is made up of a variety of very diverse elements. For example: Carbohydrates and fats are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen nitrogen, sulphur, and phosphorus.
