What are minerals and trace elements?
Trace elements, although not much in the human body, but closely related to human survival and health. Their intake of excessive, inadequate, or lack of will cause varying degrees of human physiological abnormalities or disease. The most prominent role of trace elements is closely related to the vitality of life, just like the size of the matchhead or less the amount can play a huge physiological role. It is worth noting that these trace elements must be supplied directly or indirectly from the soil. According to scientific research, so far, due to the use of pesticide overdose, resulting in a large number of trace elements loss, so we have to indirectly add trace elements, the use of mineral power to supplement the lack of trace elements in the human body. There are 18 kinds of essential trace elements related to the detection of human health and life, namely iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, manganese, chromium, selenium, iodine, nickel, fluorine, molybdenum, vanadium, tin, silicon, strontium, Rubidium, arsenic and so on. Each of these trace elements has its own special physiological function. Although they are extremely small in the human body, they are necessary to maintain some of the decisive metabolism in the human body. Once the lack of these essential minerals trace elements, the body will be disease, and even life-threatening. Such as zinc deficiency can cause mouth, eyes, anus or genital redness, pimples, rash. Another example is iron is one of the main components of hemoglobin, iron deficiency can cause iron deficiency anemia. Abroad has been reported: the body of iron, copper, zinc reduction, can weaken the immune mechanism (resistance to disease), reduce disease resistance, contribute to bacterial infection, and infection after the mortality rate is also higher. Trace elements in disease resistance, anti-cancer, longevity and other aspects also play a role can not be ignored.
81 species were detected on the basis of the human body. 81 kinds of elements in the body of the arrangement is very tight combination, and more less will not work. Human anatomy found that there are 74 kinds of serum, 54 kinds of brain, 49 kinds of heart, 50 kinds of liver, thymus 18 species. They constitute the most basic unit of the human body, human life, old, sick, dead and all elements related to the body. According to the elements in the human body content is different, can be divided into macro elements and trace elements two categories. Accounting for more than 0.01% of the total body weight of the elements, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, etc., called macro elements; , Zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, selenium, molybdenum, cobalt, fluorine, etc., known as trace elements. Trace elements in the human body content is really minimal, such as zinc only the total weight of the human body of thirty-three parts per million. Iron is only sixty thousandths.
Trace elements refers to the body weight of one thousandth of the body weight, daily requirements are generally in the following 0.01 grams can meet the physiological needs of the human body, as we often talk about iron, zinc, iodine, selenium, fluoride and so on. Calcium in the human body due to more content, the daily requirements of several hundred milligrams, it is a macro element.
Minerals Trace elements are inorganic salts, which are widely found in nature - soil, sea water, animals, plants. It is to maintain the normal life of the human body indispensable. They are both the body of the composition, but also the activities of life participants and regulators, and therefore known as the elements of life, and they are the body can not synthesize their own nutrients.
