Man is made up of the elements from the Earth. So it would appear that man is made up from those elements listed in that table as well, according to either the Bible or science. Minerals are the basic building blocks of the human body. The human body is a complex, living organism with cells growing, replicating, living and dying all of the time. These cells grow and replicate themselves using the building blocks of humans, or minerals.
Minerals are essential to the growth and vitality of the human body.
Without minerals, there would be no body. They are also beginning to understand that there are many other minerals that are just as essential, such as chromium, selenium, vanadium, manganese, and more. Unfortunately, you can't eat rocks. You can't digest soil. Only plants are able to take the minerals from the ground and break them up into minute particles for use.
