Proteins are the building blocks of the body, building blocks of muscles, hair, nails, skin,  hormones and enzymes. • Proteins are made of group of 20 amino acids: 12 - amino acids (Non essential) 8- amino acids (Essential) <<semi-essential>> arginine, taurine and histine. Proteins has: 1. Structural role                        2.Energetic role                        3.Functional role • Protein is key part of any diet and because protein is found an abundance of foods many people can easily meet this goal.

                                                                   MINERALS ✔   Most of the minerals are found in unlimited quantity in nature like in the water in rivers, in lakes, in oceans, they are found in many food like plants or in mineral water. There are twenty-two of total which makes 4% of our body mass.  They are classified into two categories. When it comes to minerals role to the metabolism: ✔ They play a key role in the constitution of bones and teeth. ✔  T hey contribute in the maintenance of cardiac rhythm, muscular contraction, the neural conductivity and acid base balance. ✔  Regulate metabolism, facilitate energy release. ✔  Controls the water balance (osmotic pressure). ✔  Supply of oxygen in the body cells. ✔   Catalyze many metabolic reactions. WE HAVE =>  MAJOR MINERALS (macro elements) => 7 •  Calcium (Ka) •  Magnesium (Mg) •  Sodium (Na) •  Chlorine (Cl) •  Potassium (K) •  Phosphorus (P) •  Sulfur (S) TRACE ELEMENTS (micro elements) => 15 •  Iron •
