The essential vitamins & minerals for daily health

Vitamins and minerals are a group of substances essential for normal cell function, growth and development. There are many ways to obtain the recommended daily allowance, but eaten fresh produce should be the primarily. There are 13 essential vitamins, which are grouped into two categories; the fat-soluble vitamins, which are stored in the body's fatty tissue and the water-soluble vitamins, which is used by the body right away. Any left over water-soluble vitamins leave the body through the urine. Vitamin B12 is the only water-soluble vitamin that can be stored in the liver for many years.

Protein is one of the macro-nutrients and is essential for the body, tissue repair and build. The protein is part of every part of the body from the skin, nails, hair, muscles and blood. Protein can be found in meat, eggs, grains, legumes and dairy products.

They also serve as energy stores for the body. Fats are broken down in the body to release glycerol and free fatty acids. The glycerol can be converted to glucose by the liver and then used as a source of energy.

Carbohydrates are the most common source of energy, which can be obtained from bread, pasta, beans, potatoes and rice. Carbohydrates require less water to digest than protein or fats.
