What are proteins and minerals?
Proteins are the body’s chief tissue-builders. They help keep skin, bones, muscles, and blood healthy.
Proteins also help regulate bodily processes, including transporting oxygen and nutrients into and out of cells; the clotting of blood; and the formation of antibodies, which help fight disease.
Animal products, such as beef, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products, are high in protein. Grains, nuts, and some beans are also protein-rich foods.
Together with carbohydrates and fats, proteins are known as macronutrients, it means that people need these nutrients in large quantities.
Compared to macronutrients, minerals are micronutrients because they are needed in very small quantities.
Minerals provide building materials for the body and help regulate its activities, much as proteins do.
Calcium and phosphorus build strong bones and teeth, iron contributes to healthy blood, and iodine helps keep the thyroid gland working.
