The Six Essential
Minerals We All Need
in Our Diets
Macro-minerals are the six major minerals that humans
need in large quantities to stay healthy. We mostly get these
from our diets.
Dr Carolyn Dean
3
Chloride
Chloride is needed for the creation of gastric
juices. It is found in celery, tomatoes and
table salt.
Potassium
We need potassium for our nervous system,
heart function and muscle contraction. Foods
high in potassium include bananas, potatoes
and legumes.
Calcium
We need calcium for
strong bones, muscle
function, blood clotting
and the nervous system.
Foods high in calcium
include dairy products and
leafy vegetables.
Phosphorous
Phosphorous is vital for
converting food into ener-
gy, cell membrane function
and bone growth. It is
found in meats, legumes
and seeds.
Magnesium
Magnesium is essential for biochemical
functions such as nerve impulses and muscle
contractions, as well as regulating blood sugar
and blood pressure, among other things. Foods
high in magnesium include dark-green vegeta-
bles, whole grains, bananas, seeds and nuts.
Sodium
Sodium comes from salt.
Although too much salt
can be bad for us, we need
a certain amount to main-
tain fluid balance. We often
get more sodium than we
need through eating pro-
cessed foods.
