INTRODUCTION

Minerals are inorganic elements, which occur in their simple form. They are also called
inorganic nutrients. They generally have a crystal structure, and among their main functions
is that of being a decisive and fundamental component for the conservation and health of
living beings. Minerals, in the human organism, are part of the structure of bones and teeth,
they intervene as cofactors in enzymes, regulating capillary permeability, osmotic pressure,
acid-base balance... They also control the composition of extracellular and intracellular
organic fluids and regulate the transmission nervous. However, they do not provide energy
to the body.

The objective of this technical sheet is both to know the
minerales are nutrients that the human body needs in
relatively small amounts with respect to macronutrients
(carbohydrates, proteins and lipids). Therefore, like
vitamins, they are considered micronutrients.nerals are
nutrients that the human body needs in relatively small
amounts with respect to macronutrients (carbohydrates,
proteins and lipids). Therefore, like vitamins, they are
considered micronutrients.
Minerals are essential nutrients for different functions of
the body such as the formation of bones and blood cells,
development of the nervous system, production of
hormones and organ activity.
Minerals are found in a large number of foods such as
fruits and vegetables, dairy products, legumes, products
of animal origin and cereals, so the importance of eating
 a balanced diet contributes to achieving adequate levels
of these nutrients.

Minerals have numerous functions in the human body,

and are usually classified into macroelements (required in
larger quantities in the diet) and microelements (required
in small quantities). The main minerals in the human body
according to their class are:

Macroelements: Also called main minerals. More than

250 mg daily are required: calcium, phosphorus,
magnesium and the electrolytes sodium, chlorine and
potassium.

Microelements: Known as trace elements. Less than 20

mg daily are required: chromium, copper, fluoride, iodine,
iron, manganese, selenium and zinc.

OBSERVATION
Minerals are essential nutrients for different functions of
the body such as the formation of bones and blood cells,
development of the nervous system, production of
hormones and organ activity. Minerals can be found in
fruits.
