Minerals and their role in the human body
As important as vitamins are, they can do nothing for you without minerals.
Vitamins cannot be assimilated without the aid of minerals. And though the body
can manufacture a few vitamins, it cannot manufacture a single mineral. All
tissues and internal fluids of our body contain varying quantities of minerals.
Minerals are constituents of the bones, teeth, soft tissue, muscle, blood, and
nerve cells. They are vital to overall mental and physical well-being.
Minerals act as catalysts for many biological reactions within the body,
including muscle response, the transmission of messages through the nervous
system, the production of hormones, digestion, and the utilization of nutrients
in foods.
Function: Builds and maintains bones and teeth; regulates heart rhythm;
eases insomnia; helps regulate the passage of nutrients in & out of the cell
walls; assists in normal blood clotting; helps maintain proper nerve and muscle
function; lowers blood pressure; important to normal kidney function and in
current medical research reduces the incidence of colon cancer, and reduces
blood cholesterol levels.
Deficiency symptoms: May result in arm and leg muscles spasms, softening
of bones, back and leg cramps, brittle bones, rickets, poor growth, osteoporosis
( a deterioration of the bones), tooth decay, depression.
Food sources:
dairy products, oysters, antacid tablets, broccoli and other leafy green
vegetables.

Deficiency symptoms: May result in calcium depletion, heart spasms,
nervousness, muscular excitability, confusion; kidney stones.
Food sources:
green vegetables, oatmeal, legumes, whole grains, fruit and nuts.
Function: Its major function is to combine with protein and copper in making
hemoglobin. Hemoglobin transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the
tissues which need oxygen to maintain basic life functions. Iron builds up the
quality of the blood and increases resistance to stress and disease. It is also
necessary for the formation of myoglobin which is found only in muscle tissue.
Myoglobin supplies oxygen to muscle cells for use in the chemical reaction that
results in muscle contraction. Iron also prevent fatigue and promotes good skin
tone.
Deficiency symptoms: May result in weakness, paleness of skin,
constipation, anemia.
Food sources:
red meat, poultry, liver, nuts, chocolate, legumes, whole grains, eggs.

regulates the body's production of energy; helps burn excess fat by stimulating
the rate of metabolism; mentality, speech, the condition of the hair, skin, &
teeth are dependent upon a well-functioning thyroid gland.
Deficiency symptoms: May result in an enlarged thyroid gland, slow mental
reaction, dry skin & hair, weight gain, loss of physical & mental vigor.
Food sources: iodized salt, seafood, cod-liver oil, oysters, spinach.
Function: Necessary for the absorption & utilization of Iron; helps oxidize
Vitamin C and works with Vitamin C to form Elastin, a chief component of the
Elastin muscle fibers throughout the body; aids in the formation of red blood
cells; helps proper bone formation & maintenance.
Deficiency symptoms: May result in general weakness, impaired respiration,
skin sores.
Food sources: liver, seafood, nuts, meat, mushrooms.
Function: Is an antioxidant nutrient; necessary for protein synthesis; wound
healing; vital for the development of the reproductive organs, prostate
functions and male hormone activity; it governs the contractility of muscles;
important for blood stability; maintains the body's alkaline balance; helps in
normal tissue function; aids in the digestion and metabolism of phosphorus.

healing wounds, white spots on finger nails, retarded growth, stretch marks,
fatigue, decreased alertness, susceptibility to infections.
Food sources: whole grains, liver, meat, eggs, seafood, maple syrup.
Function: An antioxidant nutrient; important in the blood breakdown of amino
acids and the production of energy; necessary for the metabolism of Vitamin B-1
& Vitamin E; Activates various enzymes which are important for proper digestion
& utilization of foods; is a catalyst in the breakdown of fats & cholesterol;
helps nourish the nerves and brain; necessary for normal skeletal development;
maintains sex hormone production.
Deficiency symptoms: May result in paralysis, convulsions, dizziness,
ataxia, loss of hearing, digestive problems, blindness and deafness in infants.
Food sources: whole grains, spinach, brussel sprouts, peas, corn, bananas.
Function: Works with insulin in the metabolism of sugar and stabilizes blood
sugar levels; cleans the arteries by reducing Cholesterol & Triglyceride levels;
helps transport amino acids to where the body needs them; helps control the
appetite; medical research has shown that persons with low levels of Chromium in
their bodies are more susceptible to having cancer and heart problems and
becoming diabetic.
Deficiency symptoms: May result in glucose intolerance in diabetics;
atherosclerosis, heart disease, depressed growth, obesity, tiredness.
Food sources: meat, liver, bread, beer, brown rice, cheese.
Function: Works with sodium to regulate the body's waste balance and
normalize heart rhythms; aids in clear thinking by sending oxygen to the brain;
preserves proper alkalinity of body fluids; stimulates the kidneys to eliminate
poisonous body wastes; assists in reducing high blood pressure; promotes healthy
skin.
Deficiency symptoms: May result in poor reflexes, nervous disorders,
respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, muscle damage.
Food sources: common in many foods! No need to supplement.
Function: A major antioxidant nutrient, protects cell membranes and prevents
free radical generation thereby decreasing the risk of cancer and disease of the
heart and blood vessels. Medical surveys show that increased selenium intake
decreases the risk of breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer. Selenium also
preserves tissue elasticity; slows down the aging and hardening of tissues
through oxidation; helps in the treatment and prevention of dandruff.
