Calcium helps with the structural components in a person’s body such as the bones (Hathcock, 1997). Sodium helps regulate different body processes like water balance (McGuire & Beerman, 2013). Selenium facilitates chemical reactions, reduces the risk of stomach cancer mortatlity, total mortality, and total cancer mortality (Hathcock, 1997). Others like chromium will help decrease some forms of lung disease including lung cancer (Hathcock, 1997). Minerals do not work the same way vitamins do energy wise. Minerals will drive energy-producing reactions that involve macronutrients (McGuire & Beerman,
