Explore the Effects and Benefits of Micronutrients – Minerals
Since our bodies are unable to produce vitamins and minerals on their own, they must be taken from our daily diet. Vitamins are essential nutrients synthesised by many plants and animals including bacteria, while minerals are inorganic substances that exist in soil or water. Plants can absorb minerals from soil and water. Thus, eating fresh grains, fruits, and vegetables grown in mineral-rich soil can provide the body with sufficient minerals.
