Question

Give example to show that minerals are useful to us.

Answer 1

We often hear that certain foods contain a certain amount of vitamins and minerals. Minerals are important basic building blocks for proper nutrition and health. Without them, other nutrients are unable to function properly.

Amino acids and enzymes don’t function as well as they should, resulting in other nutrients not breaking down enough to be properly absorbed. The end result; serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Minerals create a healthy environment in which the body, using vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and fats, can grow, function and heal itself. They are quite different from vitamins in their structure and the work they do, but the two enjoy an excellent working relationship.
