We want to give an overview of micronutrients here.
Minerals, also known as electrolytes, are salt-like, water-soluble substances that the body cannot produce itself. Accordingly, they are essential for daily nutrition. They give our body structure and are involved in all metabolic processes.
We divide them into...
Quantitative elements | These are found in larger quantities in our body compared to trace elements.
Trace elements | These are combinations of less than 100 amino acids.
Minerals ensure a balanced acid-base balance. They are components of enzymes and hormones. They regulate the exchange of nutrients into the cell and waste products out of the cells. Unlike other substances, they are heat-resistant. However, the cooking water washes the minerals out of the food. If the cooking water is washed away, the substances are thus lost.
