Chromium

Chromium has various roles in metabolism. Chromium is also a partner for the glucose tolerance factor (GTF) or glucose tolerance factor, which increases insulin to regulate glucose utilization in the body, the end result of metabolism and the main energy source of every cell of the body. It also involved in maintaining good blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

 Minerals in the body needs cannot be ignored. Minerals are catalysts vitamins and nutrients of your body that is needed to increase the body’s metabolism and maintain optimal health. Therefore, you need to supply your daily mineral needs.

Flourine ( F )

Fluorine is found mostly in the form of fluoride both in food and water. Body stores of fluoride in bones and teeth. A small amount of fluoride found naturally in all plant and animal tissues. Addition of fluoride intake can also be obtained from water containing fluoride.

 That’s the kind of minerals are included in the category of major minerals and their benefits for your body. In addition to the major minerals, some trace minerals, which the body needs less than 100 mg per day to increase metabolism. The minerals which are belonging to the trace minerals include:

Elements of F obtained from foods, such as milk and egg yolks. Fluor serves pertembuhan maintaining bones and teeth to avoid bone loss (oesteoporosis) and dental caries (cavities). Fluorine deficiency will lead to tooth and bone becomes fragile kerops

Sulfur

Although sulfur nutrition is often regarded as the indispensable man, but it almost never mentioned in the books and resources. It is because sulfur is an integral part of all proteins as well as fats and is found in many body fluid

Zinc ( Zn )

The human body store about 2 grams of zinc in muscle and bone. Zinc has many roles in the body including the growth and repair of normal cells, wound healing and healthy immunity. Sufficient zinc intake is very important to make a variety of enzymes and hormones, including growth hormone, insulin and testosterone, a hormone that is needed to produce healthy sperm in large quantities. Without enough zinc, men may experience infertility or decreased fertility.

The element zinc can be obtained from fish, shellfish, liver, meat, and wheat germ, a function of this element is to maintain the sensory nerve receptors and as a constituent of the enzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Zn deficiency causes stunted growth due to lower metabolic activity and lead to impaired nerve sensitivity. symptoms of deficiency of this element is the body lethargic, and accompanied by dizziness.

Iron ( Fe )

The human body consists of about 4-5 grams of iron, and is mostly found as part of hemoglobin and myoglobin, those are the two proteins that transfer oxygen and circulate it throughout the body. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells. Myoglobin found in muscle tissue. Iron is also part of many enzymes and is important for healthy immunity system function.

Iron element can be obtained from vegetables green, grains, tubers of potatoes, meat, liver, milk, and egg yolks. Fe element plays a role in the formation of hemoglobin and myoglobin pigment respiration as a constituent of several enzyme prosthetic group. Iron deficiency can cause anemia. hampered due to sluggish body metabolism, and difficulty breathing due to the decline in respiratory pigment. Symptoms of iron deficiency are pale body and respiratory disturbances.

Magnesium ( Mg )

The body uses magnesium to regulate the release of energy, the nerve cell function, and the muscle contraction. It also used to form the body tissue, especially in the bone. The adult body has about 30 % and three -quarters of magnesium present in the bone. Magnesium is also a part of the more than 300 different enzymes that stimulate chemical reactions in the body.

Magnesium is found in many green vegetables, grains, meat, and milk. Mg plays a role in determining the activity of the enzyme as the active group (prosthetic group) in protein synthesis and cell respiration, as well as a constituent in muscle and blood cells. 

Kurangaktifnya magnesium deficiency will cause heart, lowering transportation system, and inhibition of metabolic activity. elements Mg deficiency symptoms are weakness or lethargy.

Phosphorus ( P )

Approximately 85 % of phosphorus in the body is found in the bone. Phosphorus is also needed to convey the genetic code from one cell to another cell when the cell is cleaved and reproducible. Phosphorus increased the need for an additional 440 mg per day for nursing mothers. Phosphorus is essential for carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis, and carrying fat and fatty acids in the tissues and organs.

phosphorus obtained from shellfish, legumes, milk, meat, and fish. function of phosphorus is a constituent of bones and teeth. as well as forming an organic energy (ATP) in muscle contraction and various synthesis processes. Deficiency of the P element will cause the body is weak, stunted growth and abnormal growth of bones and teeth. Phosphorus deficiency symptoms are the body sluggish and poor appetite.
