Vitamins and minerals are definitely among the substances that control the proper functioning of the body; although they are mainly taken from daily meals, there are certain foods that are richer in vitamins and minerals than others. While vitamins are organic structures, minerals are inorganic; but they are both usually taken from plants that process them from the soil by the intermediary of the sun rays. Very often the action of certain minerals is closely interconnected with that of specific vitamins; thus calcium, for instance, which is crucial in bone development and maintenance, is processed only in the presence of vitamin D3.

As a rule of the thumb, it is worth mentioning that vitamins and minerals enhance the function of the immune system, enabling organs and cells to better perform their structural roles. Maybe you already know what a rich source of vitamin A carrots are, but these vegetables also bring an important mineral supplementation to one’s diet too. Without vitamins and minerals life wouldn’t be possible for plants either, which explains their richness of structure. Even if vitamins and minerals are necessary at all ages, it is nonetheless true that during the growth period the efforts of the system are much more strenuous and the need of nutrients is definitely higher.

Unprocessed foods like fruits and vegetables, whole bread, dairy products, fish, red and white meat are all rich sources of vitamins and minerals, ensuring the proper working of the body. People with a balanced diet will seldom need vitamins and minerals as supplements; but do not trick yourself into thinking that you’ll get any of these substances by having chips and cookies every day. Such products, like many others of the same sort are rich in fat and calories but they definitely offer very limited nutritional value. If you are a vegetarian or a vegan, then you may have some troubles with nutrition.

To illustrate the importance of a balanced diet, we actually need to stress out the fact that certain vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc are usually found in eggs, meat and fish. Then, vitamin B12, for example, is not present under vegetable form, it can only be taken from eggs and dairy products. It may also happen to find it in fortified cereals, but make sure to carefully read the label and find this mention in the instructions. Therefore, under such circumstances, the solution for maintaining a proper body system would be to administrate vitamins and minerals as supplements.

Asparagus is a perennial plant that requires special cultivation. Early in the spring, its sprouts can be harvested and eaten, while later in the season, the developing flowers may be consumed in a manner similar to corn on the cob.

Asparagus is rich in protein, fiber and vitamins – especially vitamins B1, B2 and C. Some of the health benefits of asparagus include maintenance of the kidneys and urinary tract and cleansing of the digestive system. Pharmacological and clinical research also indicates that asparagus has an antibiotic effect. Recently, asparagus has been employed by herbalists in the treatment of rheumatism and edema arising from heart failure.
