Calcium
Calcium is one of the most important minerals we can take advantage of. Almost every
cell in our body uses calcium, in some way or another. Your nervous system, muscles, heart
and bone, they all process the calcium. By and large, calcium should be associated with
vitamin D, as the latter ensures the assimilation of calcium in our body. To benefit from
these amazing benefits you would need to consume 1g/calcium/day?
You might think that it’s found only in dairy products, but did you know it can also be
found in mustard, almonds, nuts, sunflower seeds and dried beans ?
Iron
When it comes to iron, let me put it this way: it significantly increases your chances of
survival, especially when you are in distress, simply because every living cell—be it plant or
animal— needs iron to survive. Iron is an important component of two complex proteins:
hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells,
myoglobin, which is found in muscle cells.
Did you know that hemoglobin in blood carries the oxygen you breathe into your lungs
to all tissues throughout your body?
Were you aware of the fact that lack of iron can lead to anemia? It is manifested by
weakness, pale skin, cool extremities (cold hands and feet), dizziness, headache, dyspnea
(difficulty in breathing), irritability, irregular menstruation, glossitis (inflamed or swollen
tongue), chest pain, fast or irregular heartbeats. The healing process of your wounds is also
delayed. It sounds awful, right? So make sure you include iron in your diet.
Normal average daily iron loss is approximately 1 milligram for men and non-
menstruating women.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, is one of the 8 B vitamins. All B vitamins help the
body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. The
bad part is that the body cannot store them. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body
through the urine.
That means you need a continuous supply of such vitamins in your diet. Vitamin B6
helps the body to make antibodies (which are needed to fight many diseases), but it also
maintains normal nerve function and helps hemoglobin carry oxygen in the red blood cells to
the tissues. A vitamin B deficiency can cause anemia.
