It has been proven (over 100 years ago) that these 14 elements are what your body needs in order to provide you with absolutely perfect health. There are plenty of elements on earth; some are good for making houses but they are not good for making the human body. Therefore, what you intend to build should be made of the kind of material that is required to build it. If you wish to make a gold ring, you need gold. If you want to build a brick house, you must use bricks. However, when it comes to building life in the body, these are the elements that you need to consume everyday in order to build this LIFE:

This is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe and bound mostly to carbon and nitrogen which is part of every molecule in your body.
3. Nitrogen.
This is in amino acids which are the building blocks that make up the proteins in your hair, muscles, skin and other tissues.
