| As many as 20 minerals play
significant roles in the body.
“Microminerals,” or minerals
that the body only needs
traces of, can fight off
serious illness. These include
copper, iodine, chromium,
iron, fluorine, tin, zinc,
nickel, vanadium, manganese,
silicon, molybdenum, and
selenium. “Macrominerals,” or
minerals that the body needs
large amounts of include
magnesium, sodium, potassium,
chlorine, phosphorus, calcium,
and sulfur.
Zinc is responsible for helping metabolize proteins and keeping enzymes functioning. Copper is needed by enzymes for metabolizing. Iodine assists the thyroid gland in working properly. Calcium and phosphorus build bones and teeth. Iron delivers oxygen to the body’s cells. Potassium helps muscle contraction, maintains the fluid balance of cells, helps transmit messages through the body’s nerves, and keeps the kidneys and heart working correctly. Vitamins and minerals not only help the body function, but they work to strengthen each other. The body absorbs iron through the help of vitamin C. Vitamin D helps the body absorb phosphorus and calcium. Vitamins D and K are the only vitamins the body can supply for itself. The skin creates vitamin D when it is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin K is produced by intestinal bacteria. Outside sources must supply the body with all other vitamins. | |||||||
