Elements Composition of Our body
Posted in 2014

There are several ways to consider the composition of the human body, including  the elements or type of cells. Most of the human body is made up of water, H2O, with cells consisting of 65-90% water by weight. Therefore, it isn't surprising that most of a human body's mass is oxygen. Carbon, the basic unit for organic molecules, comes in second. 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of just six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
  1. Oxygen (O) - 65% - Oxygen together with hydrogen form water, which is the primary solvent found in the body and is used to regulate temperature and osmotic pressure. Oxygen is found in many key organic compounds.
  2. Carbon (C) - 18% - Carbon has four bonding sites for other atoms, which makes it the key atom for organic chemistry. Carbon chains are used to build carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids, and proteins. Breaking bonds with carbon is an energy source.
  3. Hydrogen (H) - 10% - Hydrogen is found in water and in all organic molecules.
  4. Nitrogen (N) - 3% - Nitrogen is found in proteins and in the nucleic acids that make up the genetic code.
  5. Calcium (Ca) - 1.5% - Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. It's used as a structural material in bones, but it is essential for protein regulation and muscle contraction.
  6. Phosphorus (P) - 1.0% - Phosphorus is found in the molecule ATP, which is the primary energy carrier in cells. It's also found in bone.
  1. Potassium (K) - 0.35% - Potassium is an important electrolyte. It's used to transmit nerve impulses and heartbeat regulation.
  2. Sulfur (S) - 0.25% - Two amino acids include sulfur. The bonds sulfur forms help give proteins the shape they need to perform their functions.
  3. Sodium (Na) - 0.15% - Sodium is an important electrolyte. Like potassium, it is used for nerve signaling. Sodium is one of the electrolytes that helps regulate the amount of water in the body.
  1. Chlorine (Cl) - 0.15% - Chlorine is an important negatively-charged ion (anion) used to maintain fluid balance.
  2. Magnesium (Mg) - 0.05% - Magnesium is involved in over 300 metabolic reactions. It's used to build the structure of muscles and bones and is an important cofactor in enzymatic reactions.
  3. Iron (Fe) - 0.006% - Iron is found in hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for oxygen transport in red blood cells.
  4. Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Selenium (Se), Molybdenum (Mo), Fluorine (F), Iodine (I), Manganese (Mn), Cobalt (Co) - total less than 0.70%
  5. Lithium (Li), Strontium (Sr), Aluminum (Al), Silicon (Si), Lead (Pb), Vanadium (V), Arsenic (As), Bromine (Br) - present in trace amounts
You have maintain all above daily with your food till the end of your life.
Many other elements may be found in extremely small quantities. For example, the human body often contains trace amounts of thorium, uranium, samarium, tungsten, beryllium, and radium.
The above elements must be maintained till the end of our life if not we may face health problems.   Doctors see your analysis of your body with various tests and prescribe you the element in the form of Medicine.   If you take healthy food all the above will be maintained daily.
Eat healthy food and be healthy.....Brought to U...http://successgain.info

Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Posted in 2014 Pregnancy can pose serious challenges to sleeping well. Poor quality and too little sleep are common during pregnancy, when many women experience fragmented sleep and symptoms of insomnia. Even women who don’t generally experience sleep problems find that during pregnancy they have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as trouble getting enough sleep. We talk a lot about sleep issues for new mothers. But new research   suggests we should be paying more attention to the sleep health of expectant mothers as well. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found   links between both the quality and quantity of pregnant women’s sleep and complications at birth, including low birth weight ...

Fibre deficiency during Pregnancy...4

Fiber deficiency during Pregnancy...4 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info   7...  Why do we need to eat fibre? It used to be called “roughage”, and people tried to get rid of it.  Now we have heard plenty about it, but why do we need fibre in our diet? Dietary fibre is actually a form of  carbohydrate that does not get digested by enzymes in our small intestine, and so its sugar units are not absorbed into the bloodstream.  Dietary fibre is therefore known as ‘non-glyceami"‘. However, fibre has important effects on other nutrients within the small intestine and through effects on the large intestine, where few other nutrients arrive intact.  It has a range of valuable health effects: Smooths out digestion and absorption of glucose and fats in the small intestine.  It reduces the Glycaemic index of a meal. Provides fuel for the healthful or  good ba...

Know about Spinal cord

Know about Spinal cord Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Know about Spinal cord Posted in 2015 The spinal cord is a long, fragile tubelike structure that begins at the end of the brain stem and continues down almost to the bottom of the spine (spinal column). The spinal cord consists of nerves that carry incoming and outgoing messages between the brain and the rest of the body. It is also the center for reflexes, such as the knee jerk reflex  Like the brain, the spinal cord is covered by three layers of tissue (meninges). The spinal cord and meninges are contained in the spinal canal, which runs through the center of the spine. In most adults, the spine is composed of 26 individual back bones (vertebrae). Just as the skull protects the brain, vertebrae protect the spinal cord. The vertebrae are separated by disks made of cartilage, which act as cushions, reducing the forces generated by...
