In addition, copper is an indispensable micronutrient for human health, which has an important influence on the development and function of internal organs such as blood, central nervous system and immune system, hair, skin and bone tissue, brain, liver and heart.
Adults should consume 0.03 mg of copper per kilogram of body weight every day. Middle-aged and elderly people are prone to copper deficiency because the digestive and absorption function of gastrointestinal tract decreases, the utilization rate of copper in the food they eat is low, and the tooth loss and incomplete chewing of food in the elderly also affect the absorption of copper.
Copper deficiency can easily lead to bone changes (osteoporosis, easy fracture), coronary heart disease, vitiligo, baldness, Alzheimer's disease, female infertility, anemia and other diseases. The use of copper tools in daily life can also effectively prevent and assist in the treatment of stroke, vitiligo, dysentery and Alzheimer's disease caused by the central nervous system.
