Here are some interesting and amazing facts about Minerals, hope you guys enjoy it….
All nutrients require minerals for proper cellular function.
Minerals are needed for healing. Minerals are difficult to obsorb into the body.
Minerals can be taken as a dietary suppliment.

Trace minerals are found in small parts in the body and are needed in small amounts in people’s diets. Minerals work to regulate many body processes.
People think that minerals are only found in animal products but all of the food groups have foods high in minerals.
Fruits and vegetables are good sources of potassium.
Whole grains are high in magnesium, selenium, and chromium.
A mineral is a naturally occurring solid formed throughgeological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties.
Minerals in composition from pure elements and simple salts to very complex silicates with thousands of known forms
The study of minerals is called mineralogy.
A mineral is an element or chemical compound that is normally crystalline and that has been formed as a result of geological processes.
Crystal structure and habit: See the above discussion of crystal structure. A mineral may show good crystal habit or form, or it may be massive, granular or compact with only microscopically visible crystals.
Hardness: the physical hardness of a mineral is usually measured according to the Mohs scale. This scale is relative and goes from
1 to 10. Minerals with a given Mohs hardness can scratch the surface of any mineral that has a lower hardness than itself.
Although needed in much smaller quantities than the other essential nutrients (fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins), minerals are vitally important for health and well-being.
They provide ‘structure’ in the body whereas vitamins are more concerned with ‘function’. However all are inter-related and essential to one another. A severe deficiency of just one mineral can see off a myriad of chain reactions throughout the whole body-often with the final symptoms of illness appearing totally unrelated to the original case.
Minerals are very important during our growing cycles – as children, adolescents and in pregnancy, when structure is being formed.
Individuals are born with a certain mineral focus. Whenever we become ill, the inbuilt hereditary mineral focus will need refurbishing.
