1. It is not only an essential part of the air we inhale and drinking water, it also takes a significant place in our body. With 65% of the total weight of our body, oxygen is the most important element in the chemical composition of the human body.





2. Carbon boasts not only the largest number of chemical compounds in the periodic system, (the most famous of them is coal and oil). He also takes the second place on our list.



3. The hydrogen and oxygen as a constituent element of the air or drinking water. And it also refers to the main components of the human body. 10% of our weight consist of hydrogen.



4. Despite the fact that the nitrogen is also contained in the air, it is better known as the coolant, in liquid form. Still, it mysteriously evaporating gases must not be administered in zabluzhdenie- 3% of the weight of our bodies are made up of nitrogen.



5. Even if he is only 1, 5%, calcium is an important metal in our body. It is he who gives strength to our bones and teeth.



6. Phosphorus as a luminous substance, is known to everyone. But not everyone knows that it is due to phosphorus in the body, the formation of DNA bases of human life.



7. Potassium, with modest 0, 2%, takes little part in the body's processes. It belongs to the electrolytes, which our body needs, especially in sports. Its deficiency can cause a feeling of exhaustion and cramps.



8. Can the sulfur, with its unpleasant appearance and odor to be important for our body? Yes, it is. Sera- essential part of amino acids and co-enzymes.



9. Initially sulfur is now chloro. You'd think our body is made up of some poisons. Of course, elemental chlorine in our body there, but there chloride. And it is vital for us as contained, for example, in blood plasma.



10. Sodium we consume, primarily in the form of sodium chloride, also known as table salt. Element is important to protect the cells and movement of nerve signals.



11. Magnesium is essential for all organisms on earth, of course, for us humans, too. Despite its small particles 0, 05% of our body weight, lack of magnesium leads to a clearly tangible consequences: nervousness, headaches, fatigue and muscle cramps are just some of them.



12. Male body contains more iron than women. One reason for the difference in power etomu-. Drugaya- women lose iron during menstruation. Therefore, the average weight of the element in the human body varies from 2 to 5 grams.



13. cobalt integral part of vitamin B12, which is necessary for human existence. Overdose cobalt leads to numerous diseases to cancerous tumors including.



14. microorganisms copper deadly even in small quantities, but man it is necessary for the formation of vital enzymes. Heavy metal is 0, 05% of our body weight. We get it through vegetables, chocolate and nuts.



15. Zinc refers to elements that are necessary to all living beings on earth. It is important for metabolism and is found in many important enzymes.



16. iodine component of hormone thyroxin and triiodothyronine, which produces the thyroid gland. Lack of iodine can cause severe disturbances in metabolism.



17. Selenium is an essential trace element for. At the same time, an overdose, it is highly toxic, so its use as a dietary supplement, causes great debate in the circles of scientists.



18. To date, not yet fully how fluoride is necessary for our body. Undisputed fakt- most of the fluoride contained in bones and teeth. Fluoride, like selenium, is highly toxic in overdose
