As water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body, they must be a part of your daily diet. Cooking can wash away or destroy some of them such as vitamin B & C.
Minerals are important life-supporting materials in our diet. Some minerals become part of the body's structural molecules. Other help enzymes do their jobs.
Minerals are divided into 2 categories : macrominerals, and trace minerals. Trace minerals are present in relatively small quantities in the human body, but they're as important as macrominerals. Any essential mineral can become a limiting reactant, if it is not present in suffucient quantity.
