Water- Cancer. For some reason I am attracted to their nurturiing nature. Maybe because I have Moon in Taurus, a very similar sign to Cancer. Fire- Sagittarius. Their independent, optimistic, philosophical, and truth-seeking nature is so hot. I love them. I feel they are like me, an Aquarius. Earth- Virgo? Analytical. Hard working. Perfectionist. Caring. Air- Aquarius. The sign I know most about because I am an Aquarius. A talented sign which is open-minded, objective, humanitarian, original, and borderlines genius.

* Boron (B) – assists and improves retention of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus; necessary for brain function, memory and alertness as well as for the activation of vitamin D.
* Calcium (Ca) – found mainly in bones and teeth – important for membrane function, nerve impulses, muscle contractions, and blood clotting.
* Carbon (C) – found in all organic molecules.
* Chlorine (Cl) – important for membrane function and water absorption; chloride is the major anion in body fluids and part of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in gastric juices.
* Chromium (Cr) – master regulator of insulin; potent metabolic hormone in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; assists neurotransmitters; helps with the function of the brain, thyroid, and hormonal balance.
* Cobalt (Co) – a vital part of vitamin B12; stimulates numerous enzymes; helps build red blood cells and with iron absorption.
* Copper (Cu) – involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin, melanin, and elastin; an enzyme cofactor; part of some cytochromes in cell respiration; assists in phospholipid synthesis, protein metabolism, vitamin C oxidation, and the formation of RNA.
* Germanium (Ge) – helps activate various organs to attract more oxygen; expels harmful pollutants and pathogens from the body; helps maintain a strong immune system by assisting in the production of killer cells and T-suppresser cells; assists in electron transmissions.
* Hydrogen (H) – a component of water and most other compounds in the body.
* Iodine (I) – a major component of thyroid hormones (thyroxine and T3); necessary for the metabolism of fats and such minerals as calcium, silica, and phosphorus; essential for spleen, liver, and brain function; neutralizes albumin.
* Iron (Fe) – essential for oxygen transport and energy capture; component of hemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochromes in cell respiration.
* Magnesium (Mg) – required for activation of several enzymes; vital for strong bones and teeth; essential for brain and liver function; calms nerves; promotes cell growth; increases tissue elasticity; necessary for metabolism of ATP-ADP.
* Manganese (Mn) – cofactor for some enzymes; because it is found with lecithin, it is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol; strengthens nerves and thought processes; element in body linings and connective tissues; helps with eyesight; enhances body’s recuperative abilities and resistance to disease.
* Nitrogen (N) – found in proteins, nucleic acids, and other organic compounds; 78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen but only 21% oxygen.
* Oxygen (O) – a component of water and other compounds; oxygen gas is essential for respiration.
* Phosphorus (P) – found in the nucleus of every cell in the body (including white blood cells), nucleic acids, high-energy compounds, and phosphate buffer system; a major component of outer bone; combines with such elements as iron, potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium; necessary for the reproductive system and sexual function; necessary for muscle tissue and growth; an essential nutrient for the nerves.
* Pottasium (K) - important for proper membrane function, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions; major cation in cytoplasm; a primary electrolyte and alkalizer; attracts oxygen to tissues; helps eliminate toxins from the body.
* Selenium (Se) – a powerful antioxidant; vital to the immune system; major part of apoptosis (normal cell death in the body); helps maintain cell integrity; supports heart function; helps slow the aging process; delays oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
* Sodium (Na) – stored in stomach walls, joints, and gallbladder; helps prevent blood clotting; important for membrane function, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions; major cation in body fluids; contributes to the alkalinity of the lymph and blood; works with the bicarbonate buffer system in the digestive tract to prevent hydrochloric acid from burning stomach walls; helps retain calcium and cholesterol liquid in the body; helps with excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).
* Sulphur (S) – found in many amino acids as well as thiamine and biotin; necessary for developmental and neurological processes and for synthesis of collagen; detoxifies; increases blood circulation; reduces muscle cramping and back pain; removes inflammation; assists in the healing of muscles; helps the liver produce choline; an important element in nerves and the myelin sheath; stimulates flow of bile; regulates heart and brain function; promotes healthy skin, nails, and hair; helps lubricate joints.
* Zinc (Zn) – is found in all body fluids, including urine as well as the moisture found in the eyes, mouth, lungs, and nose; a cofactor for enzyme function, especially carbonic anhydrase needed for carbon dioxide transport; part of peptidases needed for protein digestion; necessary for normal taste sensation; important in wound healing; a necessary part of DNA and for cell division and synthesis; necessary for hormone production and for the prostate gland; and a vital part of the immune system.
Major electrolytes found in the human body:
* Calcium (Ca) - bones, muscle contractions
* Magnesium (Mg) - co-factor for many enzymes
* Sodium (Na)* - osmotic pressure, nerve conduction, cell transport
* Chloride (Cl)* - inhibition of nerve cells, more...
* Potassium (K)** - nerve transmission, muscles etc...
