Hey Friend,
Vitamins and minerals are "essential" dietary nutrients because the body can't make them. Therefore, they must be consumed from the diet.
Scientists categorize vitamins and minerals as "micro-nutrients" because they are only needed in very minute amounts, compared to "macro-nutrients"
such as protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
However, even though the
amounts are small, vitamins and minerals play a vital role in maintaining the proper
biological functioning of everything from building muscle to improving
your memory.
Vitamins and minerals regulate the metabolism and assist all the
biological processes that are involved with releasing energy from the
food you eat.
If you don't consume enough of the vital micro-nutrients
to maintain proper biological levels, then the body will start to
deteriorate.
Bottom line, without adequate vitamins and minerals you won't be able
to build muscle because your body would not be able convert the food
you eat into all the wonderful chemicals that make up the human body.
Needless to say, they are a lot more important than most people realize.
With all the time and
energy you are investing into improving yourself by going to the gym,
weight training, cardio, diet, etc. It would suck big time if all your
efforts were short changed simply because you didn't meet your optimal
intake of vitamins and minerals.
