WHAT IS CALLED MINERALS AND PROTEINS

Minerals are nutrients found in foods, which are similar to vitamins and which are just as essential for good health. They are a part of all cells, tissues, muscles and fluids in the body and are needed for a variety of chemical processes that take place within the body.
 Proteins are the building blocks of life. The body needs protein to repair and maintain itself. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids.
Every cell in the human body contains protein. It is a major part of the skin, muscles, organs, and glands. Protein is also found in all body fluids, except bile and urine.
