A living human body is composed of a large number and different types of cells, functioning together to form different body systems. Every cell in our body needs a supply of oxygen to stay alive and work properly. This theorem is equally true for the brain cells also.
Healthy food habits and balanced diet not only help these cells stay alive but play a very important role in keeping these cells at a very good form. Once the different cells of our body are at good status, it would be very easy for us to perform any sort of task with cent percent efficiency.
It has been proved that ‘healthy food combined with healthy habits and healthy environment provides healthy mind to the students’.
The minimum daily requirements of minerals and vitamins for healthy mind are given below:
Vitamin B1 | 1-1.2 mg |
Vitamin B2 | 1.1-1.3 mg |
Vitamin B3 | 14-16 mg |
Vitamin B4 | 2.5 mg |
Vitamin B6 | 1.5-1.8 mg |
Vitamin B12 | 2 mcg |

Iron | 8 mg |
Phosphorous | 850-1000 mg |
Magnesium | 200-230 mg |
