Minerals are important for your body to stay healthy. Your body uses minerals for many different jobs, including keeping your bones, muscles, heart, and brain working properly. Minerals are also important for making enzymes and hormones.
There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. You need larger amounts of macrominerals. They include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and sulfur. You only need small amounts of trace minerals. They include iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride and selenium.
Most people get the amount of minerals they need by eating a wide variety of foods. In some cases, your doctor may recommend a mineral supplement. People who have certain health problems or take some medicines may need to get less of one of the minerals. For example, people with chronic kidney disease need to limit foods that are high in potassium.
Macro-Minerals
Macro-minerals are nutritionally important minerals such as sodium, calcium, 
phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. They are classified as macro because the 
average adult daily requirement is greater than 100 mg/day (Prashanth et al. 2015).
Trace Elements
Trace elements are essential group of minerals, which are needed, in small quantity for the day-to-day metabolic processes in man. They are regarded, as trace elements because their daily requirement should be below 100 mg, above which can be toxic to health. However, the deficiency of any of these trace elements can lead to serious health challenges (Prashanth et al. 2015). Trace minerals include iron, copper, zinc, iodine, manganese etc.
