Minerals
- 1. MINERALS
- 2. Minerals Inorganic element needed by the body for the following functions: Build tissues Regulate body fluids Assist in body functions Help form body structures Remains as ash when food is burned
- 3. Classification of Minerals • Major minerals - required in amounts greater than 100mg a day - sometimes called “macrominerals” • Trace minerals - required in the diet in amounts lesser than 100mg a day - sometimes called “microminerals”
- 4. • Ions – electrically charged atoms resulting from chemical reaction anions –negatively charged cations – positively charged • Mineral salts dissolve in water -> break into separate ions -> electrolytes
- 5. MAJOR MINERALS NAME FOOD SOURCES FUNCTIONS DEFICIENCY/ TOXICITY Calcium (Ca2+) Milk, cheese, sardines, salmon, some dark green leafy vegetables Development of bones and teeth Transmission of nerve impulses Blood clotting Normal heart action Normal muscle activity Osteoporosis Osteomalacia Rickets Tetany Retarded growth Poor tooth and bone formation
- 6. Osteoporosis - means “porous bones” - characterized by low bone density or mass (reduced amount of bone tissue) and fragile bones
- 7. Rickets - softening of bones in children potentially leading to fractures and deformity Osteomalacia - bones lose calcium and become softer and may deform
- 8. Tetany - involuntary contraction of muscles
- 9. NAME FOOD SOURCES FUNCTIONS DEFICIENCY/ TOXICITY Phosphorus (P) Milk, cheese, lean meat, poultry, fish, whole-grain cereals, legumes, nuts Development of bones and teeth Maintains normal pH of the blood Constituent of all body cells CHO, CHON and fat metabolism Poor tooth and bone formation Weakness Anorexia General malaise
- 10. NAME FOOD SOURCES FUNCTIONS DEFICIENCY/ TOXICITY Potassium (K+ ) Oranges, bananas, dried fruits, vegetables, legumes, milk, cereals, meat Contraction of muscles Maintenance of fluid balance Transmission of nerve impulses Regular heart rhythm Cell metabolism Deficiency: hypokalemia muscle weakness confusion abnormal heartbeat Toxicity: hyperkalemia potentially life-threatening irregular heartbeats
- 11. NAME FOOD SOURCES FUNCTIONS DEFICIENCY/ TOXICITY Sodium (Na+ ) Table salt, beef, eggs, poultry, milk, cheese, Soy sauce, moderate amounts in breads and vegetables, large amounts in processed foods Maintenance of fluid balance Transmission of nerve impulses Acid-base balance Muscle contraction Deficiency: nausea exhaustion muscle cramps Toxicity: hypertension edema
- 12. edema
- 13. NAME FOOD SOURCES FUNCTIONS DEFICIENCY/ TOXICITY Chloride (Cl- ) Table salt, eggs, seafood, milk Gastric acidity Regulates acid-base balance in the body Maintains fluid and electrolyte balance Formation of hydrochloric acid Imbalance in gastric acidity Imbalance in blood pH Nausea Exhaustion
- 14. NAME FOOD SOURCES FUNCTIONS DEFICIENCY/ TOXICITY Magnesium (Mg2+ ) Green, leafy vegetables Whole grains, avocados, nuts, milk, legumes, bananas, nuts, seafood, chocolate, cocoa Nerve transmission Synthesis of ATP Activation of metabolic enzymes Muscle activity Constituent of bones, muscles, and RBCs Normally unknown Mental, emotional and muscle disorders
- 15. Trace Minerals NAME FOOD SOURCES FUNCTIONS DEFICIENCY/ TOXICITY Iron (Fe+ ) Muscle meat Poultry Shellfish Liver Legumes Dried fruits Whole grain or enriches breads and cereals Dark green and leafy vegetables Molasses Transports oxygen and CO2 Hemoglobin formation Component of cellular enzymes essential for energy production Deficiency: iron deficiency anemia
- 16. Symptoms: • Weakness/ Fatigue • Dizziness • Loss of weight • Pallor • Coldness of hands and feet
- 17. Cretinism GoiterMyxedema NAME FOOD SOURCES FUNCTIONS DEFICIENCY/ TOXICITY Iodine (I- ) Iodized salt seafood Regulation of basal metabolic rate Goiter Cretinism Myxedema
