The overall healthy existence of human beings owes it to copper, the element which has played an important role in the development of major civilizations around the world. The reddish-brown element enables the metabolic process in the body and many other vital functions and processes in the body. It cannot be produced by the body and has to be added from external sources. Hence it should be included in daily diet. It is present in many foods like liver, seafood, beans, whole grains, almonds, barley, beetroot, and lentils. JJ Resnick says the highest content of copper is found in Oysters in non-vegetarian food and almonds in vegetarian food. Stored food does not contain much copper due to the oxidation property of copper. So, fresh fruits, vegetables, and fresh meat should be included in the diet for daily supplementing the copper requirement of the body.
