Micronutrients : Slightly needed with High Benefit (E)

Well... This is my second post... do you know about Micronutrient? No.. In this post I will tell you everything about it.... So Stay Calm... and 

Micronutrients are nutrients required by humans and other organisms throughout life in small quantities to orchestrate a range of physiological functions. For people, they include dietary trace minerals in amounts generally less than 100 milligrams/day - as opposed to macrominerals which are required in larger quantities. The microminerals or trace elements include at least iron, cobalt, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and molybdenum. Micronutrients also include vitamins, which are organic compounds required as nutrients in tiny amounts by an organism.

Micronutrients are vital to the proper functioning of all of your body's systems. Sodium, for instance, is responsible for maintaining the proper fluid balance in your body; it helps fluids pass through cell walls and helps regulate appropriate pH levels in your blood. Here are some of the ways that other micronutrients help maintain your body's systems:

• Manganese promotes bone formation and energy production, and helps your body metabolize the macronutrients, protein, carbohydrate and fat.
• Magnesium helps your heart maintain its normal rhythm. It helps your body convert glucose (blood sugar) into energy, and it is necessary for the metabolization of the micronutrients calcium and vitamin C.
• Iron helps your body produce red blood cells and lymphocytes.
• Iodine helps your thyroid gland develop and function. It helps your body to metabolize fats, and promotes energy production and growth.
• Chloride helps regulate water and electrolytes within your cells, as well as helping to maintain appropriate cellular pH.

So, now you know about Micronutrients...
