Elements that are essential to our daily life

1. Elements to Essential Life
A. Macrominerals
Calcium (Ca)
Magnesium (Mg)
Potassium (K)
Selenium (Se)
Sodium (Na)
Sulfur (S)
Zinc (Zu)
Sources
Low Fat Cheese
Raw Spinach
White Beans
Brazil Nuts
Table Salt
Allium Vegetables
Cooked Oysters
Function
Our bones store
calcium in addition to
providing supportfor
our bodies.
Magnesium is the most
importantmajor mineral
that is needed by your
body. In order to
function correctly and
efficiently.
Potassium is an
essential nutrientused
to maintain fluid and
electrolyte balance in
the body
Selenium is required by
the body for proper
functioning of the
thyroid gland,and may
help protect againstfree
radical damage and
cancer.
Sodium is an essential
nutrientrequired by the
body for maintaining
proper blood
pressure and for
providing channels of
nerve signaling.
It helps resistbacteria
and protects against
toxic substances.
Keeping a healthy
immune system,
building proteins,
triggering enzymes,and
creating DNA.
Deficiency Conditions
When you don’t get enough
calcium,you increase the risk of
developing diseases such as
osteoporosis and calcium
deficiency disease,also known
as hypocalcaemia.
Without magnesium, energy
production,oxidative
phosphorylation,and glycolsis.It
contributes to the structural
developmentofbone would be
hard.
A deficiency in potassium causes
fatigue, irritability, and
hypertension (increased blood
pressure).
A deficiency in selenium can lead
to pain in the muscles and joints,
unhealthyhair, and white spots on
the fingernails.In long term cases
it may even lead to Hashimoto's
disease,a condition in which the
bodies own immune system
attacks the thyroid.
Deficiency of sodium is rare,but
can occur in people after
excessive vomiting or diarrhea,in
athletes who intake excessive
amounts ofwater, or in people
who regularly faston juice and
water.
Proper developmentof connective
tissue and helps skin maintains
structural integrity will be not
normal.
Headaches in the shortterm,and
can disruptabsorption ofcopper
and iron in the long term

2. B.Microminerals
Chromium
Copper
Fluorine (F)
Iron (Fe)
Iodine (I)
Manganese (Mn)
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Tea Leaves
Mollusks
Iodized Salt
Hazelnuts
Chromium is important
in the metabolism of
fats and carbohydrates.
Required by the body
for bone and connective
tissue production,and
for coding specific
enzymes that range in
function from
eliminating free radicals
to producing melanin.
Fluorine or Fluoride
helps in hardening of
teeth enamel and
bones.
Iron is an essential
mineral used to
transportoxygen to all
parts of the body.
Chemical element
essential for the
production of thyroid
hormones thatregulate
growth and metabolism.
Required by the body
for proper enzyme
functioning,
You may experience a sudden and
abruptrise in anxiety levels.
A deficiency in copper can lead to
osteoporosis,jointpain,lowered
immunity,and since copper is
essential for the absorption ofiron,
anemia.
Deficiency of fluorine can lead to
decay of teeth, curvature of spine,
and weak eyesight.
Chronic deficiencycan lead to
organ failure.
Diets deficientin iodine increase
risk of retarded brain development
in children (cretinism),mental
slowness,high cholesterol,
lethargy, fatigue, depression,
weightgain,and goiter:a swelling
of the thyroid gland in the neck.
Manganese deficiencyis rare and
can been seen expressed in poor
bone health, joint pain , and fertility
problems
