Iron
Iron is the most essential requirement for human body and other
living species on the planet. In human body iron is required for oxygen
transport. This oxygen is required for survival and production of cells in
our body. Humans also use iron in the hemoglobin of RBCs (Red blood cells) in
order to transport O2 (oxygen) from lungs to the tissues and to
export CO2 (carbon dioxide) back to lungs. It is also an important component of
myoglobin to store and diffuse oxygen in muscle cells.
Deficiency of Iron leads to Anemia (weakness) which affects our
day to day life and also weakens our power to fight against bacterial
infection.

Vitamins
Vitamins play an important role in our daily diet. They are
essential for the normal growth and development of a human being and every
multicelluar organism on the planet. They perform various functions in the body
and also help in executing the functions.
Vitamins are classified as water soluble
and fat soluble.
In human body there are 13 vitamins: 4 fat soluble [A, D,
E.K vitamins] and 9 water soluble.
Water soluble vitamins
easily get dissolved in water and excess is thrown out of the body through
urine. Hence they have to be consumed daily. Fat soluble vitamins are absorbed
by intestinal track by the lipids. Hence they are stored in the body. Therefore
over accumulation can cause hyper-vitaminosis. Hence
they should be moderately consumed.
