Calcium. Did you know that this essential component of bones and teeth is a metal? In our bodies, calcium is abundant in bones and is critical for proper muscle and nerve function. Good dietary sources include dairy products, broccoli, figs, and sardines. 
Fe:-. Iron from foods like meat, beans, and spinach helps carry oxygen throughout our bodies. Iron is not only found in skyscraper steel and frying pans, it is also in the bloodstream

Magnesium.  Our bodies need magnesium for strong bones and teeth, as well as for muscle contraction and relaxation. Food sources include vegetables, especially dark green, leafy ones. Magnesium is a metal used in flares and fireworks.
Zinc. In our bodies, many proteins need one or two zinc atoms to fold into the right shape. Zinc is important for controlling gene activity and regulating hormones. Good dietary sources include oysters, chickpeas, whole grains, and nuts.

Cobalt. Cobalt forms the core of vitamin B12 and is important in the body for making red blood cells. This metal is found in meat, dairy products, and leafy green vegetables.
