Zinc
There are about two grams of zinc in the body where it is extremely
concentrated in the eyes, nails, hair, skin and testes. Zinc is a
precious mineral. It is needed for healthy skin and hair, proper healing
of wounds, successful pregnancies and male virility. It plays a vital
role in guarding against diseases and infection. The main dietary
sources of zinc are beans, meat, whole grains, milk, liver, nuts, and
seeds. Deficiency can result in weight loss, skin diseases, and loss of
hair, poor appetite, Diarrhoea and frequent infection. Those suffering
from rheumatoid arthritis may have a zinc deficit.
Selenium
Selenium and vitamin E are synergistic and the two together are stronger than the sum of the equal parts. Selenium slows down ageing and hardening of tissues through oxidation. Selenium is useful in keeping youthful elasticity in tissues. It alleviates hot flushes and menopausal distress. It also helps in the prevention and treatment of dandruff. This mineral is found in Brewer`s yeast, garlic, onions, tomatoes, eggs, milk and sea food. Deficiency of this mineral can cause premature loss of stamina.

Our body requires most minerals like those two(zinc and selenium, by maintaining a well built body and immune system is not that hard but people are taking it for granted. According to what I read at this zinc supplement article, a regular exercise and eating the right kind of food which is good for you is one of the key to a better immune system, but if ever those minarals that we cannot get from food, there are lots of vitamins and supplements that may help you gain those we cannot get from foods.
