Additionally, they play important roles in the normal growth and development of human beings. These elements should be taken in small quantities. Vitamins These are basically complex chemical substances that are mainly contained in food. Vitamins give the body the capability of breaking down and using the basic elements of food. These elements are proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In addition, certain vitamins are involved in the production of genetic material, hormones, blood cells and chemicals in the nervous system. In contrast to carbohydrates, fats and proteins, calories are not provided by vitamins and minerals. However, they assist the body in using the energy from food. Vitamins must be obtained from food as most vitamins cannot be generated in the body. Minerals These chemical elements are involved in several processes in the body. Minerals assist in regulating cell function. Furthermore, they act as building blocks for the body's organs and cells. All the minerals required should be supplied by a diet that is varied and balanced. In contrast to vitamins, minerals will not deteriorate during cooking or storage. Major minerals are required in larger quantities and they include calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, chloride, potassium and sodium. Additionally, the body requires smaller quantities of chromium, fluoride, copper, iron, iodine, molybdenum, manganese, zinc and selenium for optimal health and normal growth. Calcium This mineral is essential for the development of healthy nerve and muscle function. Calcium also helps in the development of strong bones and teeth. Its food sources include cheese, milk, goat's milk, yogurt, mineral water, fortified soya milk, tinned fish, ice cream, calcium-fortified tofu, broccoli and calcium-fortified cereals and juices. Milk, yogurt and certain other dairy products are considered the best calcium sources. Studies have indicated that the regular intake of calcium supplements assists in preventing osteoporosis, by lowering the risk of bone loss. In essence, osteoporosis is a disease that thins the bones. This often affects the spine, wrist or hip and women are most affected by it. Iron This mineral is a vital component of the blood and muscle. Iron is essential for transporting oxygen, via the blood, around the body. Two types of iron are found in the diet, non-heme iron and heme iron. The non-heme variety is not as well absorbed as heme iron. Its food sources include whole grains, iron-fortified cereals, peas, beans and dark green leafy vegetables like kale. Food sources for heme iron include meat, poultry and seafood. The body normally absorbs heme iron quite well. No single food has all the micronutrients needed for optimal health. As a result, a varied and balanced diet is essential for sufficient consumption of these essential elements.
