Important Minerals to Burn More Calories
Metabolism is closely related to the burning of calories. Increasing metabolism is an effective

way to help you lose weight. People who have a high metabolism, tend to avoid obesity, because
the calorie burning process that occurs in the body is also run out rapidly. In addition to do an
exercise regularly, another way to increase metabolism is to fill the body’s mineral needs.
Unlike vitamins, minerals typically do not contain the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. To be
classified as a mineral, a substance must be a solid and have a crystalline structure. This
substance should also naturally formed, homogenous, and has a certain chemical composition.
Types of Minerals
Minerals are divided into two groups, namely major minerals and trace minerals. Major minerals
ware the minerals needed by the body in an amount greater than 100 mg per day. While trace
minerals are minerals that the body needs in small amounts or less than 100 mg per day.
Calcium, The weight of calcium from the body weight is about 1.5 kg and 99 % of that form
bones and teeth. While the remaining of calcium which is about 1 % present is in the
extracellular fluid (fluid around the cells of the body). The benefits of calcium for the body such
as, regulating body fluid balance, keeping the muscle contraction during exercise, and keeping
blood clotting within normal limits.
Phosphorus, Approximately 85 % of phosphorus in the body is found in the bone. Phosphorus is

also needed to convey the genetic code from one cell to another cell when the cell is cleaved and
reproducible. Phosphorus increased the need for an additional 440 mg per day for nursing
mothers. Phosphorus is essential for carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis, and carrying fat
and fatty acids in the tissues and organs.
Magnesium, The body uses magnesium to regulate the release of energy, the nerve cell function,
and the muscle contraction. It also used to form the body tissue, especially in the bone. The adult
body has about 30 % and three -quarters of magnesium present in the bone. Magnesium is also a
part of the more than 300 different enzymes that stimulate chemical reactions in the body.
Iron, The human body consists of about 4-5 grams of iron, and is mostly found as part of
hemoglobin and myoglobin, those are the two proteins that transfer oxygen and circulate it
throughout the body. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells. Myoglobin found in muscle tissue.
Iron is also part of many enzymes and is important for healthy immunity system function.
Zinc, The human body store about 2 grams of zinc in muscle and bone. Zinc has many roles in
the body including the growth and repair of normal cells, wound healing and healthy immunity.
Sufficient zinc intake is very important to make a variety of enzymes and hormones, including
growth hormone, insulin and testosterone, a hormone that is needed to produce healthy sperm in
large quantities. Without enough zinc, men may experience infertility or decreased fertility.
Sulfur, Although sulfur nutrition is often regarded as the indispensable man, but it almost never
mentioned in the books and resources. It is because sulfur is an integral part of all proteins as
well as fats and is found in many body fluids.
Fluorine, Fluorine is found mostly in the form of fluoride both in food and water. Body stores of
fluoride in bones and teeth. A small amount of fluoride found naturally in all plant and animal
tissues. Addition of fluoride intake can also be obtained from water containing fluoride.
That’s the kind of minerals are included in the category of major minerals and their benefits for
your body. In addition to the major minerals, some trace minerals, which the body needs less
than 100 mg per day to increase metabolism. The minerals which are belonging to the trace
minerals include:
Lodine, Lodine is a component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine namely,
that help regulate cell activity and metabolism. This hormone is also essential for protein
synthesis, tissue growth (including the establishment of a healthy nervous system), prevent
mumps and improve bone health.
Selenium, Selenium has an important role in controlling the effects of thyroid hormone in the
body’s metabolism. Thyroid hormone itself is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, which
has great influence on the body’s metabolism.
Copper, Copper has long been known as a mineral that body needs to keep functioning
optimally. Copper is one of the elements belonging to the micro minerals because minerals are
needed only in small amounts in the body. However, even so, this mineral is important to ensure
the body’s metabolism to function optimally, it is also important for the formation of hemoglobin
or red blood cells.
Manganese, Manganese is involved in the function of various organs and systems are also
required for normalizing immune function, blood sugar regulation, cellular energy production,
reproduction, digestion, and bone growth. In addition, manganese is also working with vitamin K
to support blood clotting and is an important component of an important antioxidant enzyme
called superoxide dismutase which will provide protection during the attack of free radicals in
the body’s metabolic processes.
Chromium, Chromium has various roles in metabolism. Chromium is also a partner for the
glucose tolerance factor (GTF) or glucose tolerance factor, which increases insulin to regulate
glucose utilization in the body, the end result of metabolism and the main energy source of every
cell of the body. It also involved in maintaining good blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Minerals in the body needs cannot be ignored. Minerals are catalysts vitamins and nutrients of
your body that is needed to increase the body’s metabolism and maintain optimal health.
Therefore, you need to supply your daily mineral needs.
