The sun generates energy from the process of nuclear fusion. In stars it occurs this is summarised as 4 protons combining to form 1 alpha particle and releasing two positrons, two neutrinos and energy. For a more detailed summary see

∙ 10y agoThere are many steps in the formation of a Sun such as ours.
First, in the Big Bang, the primary Hydrogen and Helium spread out, but eventually gravitational attraction causes a condensation of these gases, and they will form a Star.
If that star is sufficiently large, then it will eventually go through a nova explosion process, during which the temperature and pressure are sufficiently high and for for sufficiently long for some even quite unlikely nuclear reactions to take place, and some heavier elements to form. These processes are known as nucleogenesis.
Eventually, these ex-nova materials may aggregrate to form a Solar system such as ours. [Our Sun and its nuclear processes are only sufficient to transform nuclei up to about that of Iron]. All the heavier elements we have were produced in the Nova explosion phase. So the heavier elements in your body, were once part of a star!
In our Solar system, various bits of space junk were also accumulated to contribute to the planets, the Sun, and the various Moons.
