TRACE ELEMENTS DEFICIENCIES
Several minerals in trace amounts are essential
for health since they form components of enzymes
and cofactors for metabolic function besides calcium
and phosphorus required for vitamin D manufacture,
others include iron, copper, iodine, zinc, selenium,
manganese nickel chromium, molybdenum, fluorine
28. Sl No Mineral Function Sources
1 Iron an active part of hemoglobin in red blood
cells & muscle protein myoglobin and of a
variety of protein that speed up chemical
reactions within the body.
Flesh foods are the best sources because
they contain heam iron. Some plant
foods (spinach/palak) appear to be much
better source of iron than they actually
are.
2 Zinc Steadily increasing. growth ,sexual
development , wound healing , ability to
fight infections sense of taste, night vision,
healthy epithelial tissue, and other vital
functions depend upon an adequate supply
of zinc.
Flesh foods, Red meats especially beef
are higher in zinc.Among plant foods
sun flower seeds are good sources of
zinc.Whole grains ,legumes and
vegetables are richer in zinc.
3 Iodide Needed for the production of the thyroid
hormones, thyroxine and triidothyronine.
Lack of iodine results in endemic goiter
Iodized salt
4 Copper Participates metabolic reactions that are
necessary for normal development and
maintenance of the skeleton, red blood cell
production, normal skin and hair, and
other functions.
Oysters are recognized as the leading
source
