The minerals are inorganic elements needed by our body for daily activities and for our health.They are present in small amounts (from 5% to 6%) in our body.
Unlike carbohydrates, lipids and proteins minerals do not provide energy to the body, but different from the vitamins, minerals have plastics functions.
They give strength to the bone contributing to its creation and growth.
They are also essential for the osmotic regulation of our body that allows the cells to live in an optimal environment, therefore live longer; in practice they balance our water balance.
Since our body cannot synthesize minerals, we need to assimilate them through the water and other foods.
For example, mineral water is a source of dietary minerals, so it is necessary to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Our body takes about twenty minerals, but not all in the same quantities, are divided into macro those present in order of a few grams and trace elements present in the order of milligrams.
