Minerals - Definition
“Minerals in food are the elements present in
food that are required by our body to develop
and function properly.”
MINERALS
• Body contains about 24 minerals - provided by the diet.
• Required - in very minute amounts - trace elements.
General Functions of Minerals
• Minerals play an important role in the regulation of body functions.
Maintenance of acid-base balance - K , Mg, Na, Cl, HCO3, SO4
Control of water balance.
Contraction of muscles.
Normal response of nerves to physiological stimulation.
Clotting of blood.
• Therefore, we obtain these nutrients from eating foods rich in minerals.
• When the body does not receive enough minerals,
certain nutritional deficiency diseases may arise.
• Goitre, Osteoporosis, Anaemia, Hypomagnesaemia, and Diarrhoea are a few
examples of mineral deficiency diseases.
Functions of minerals
• The following are some of the common minerals in food and their functions in the body.
Calcium
• Helps blood clotting.
• Helps muscle contraction and nerve function.
• Essential for building strong and healthy bones. Pancreatic lipase as a cofactor
Chloride
• Maintains proper blood volume, blood pressure, and pH of our body fluids.
Copper
• Formation of red blood cells.
• Helps with the functioning of the nervous system. Superoxide dismutase (SOD)
Iodine
• Promotes the normal functioning of the thyroid gland.
• Helps in the proper functioning of brain functions.
• Promotes normal growth and development of cells.
Iron
• Helps in transporting oxygen to all parts of the body.
• Produces and stores the energy for further metabolisms.
Magnesium
• Provides structure for healthy bones.
• Produces energy from the food molecules.
• Maintains proper functioning of muscle and nervous system.
Manganese
• Helps maintain water balance.
• Controls nerve impulse transmissions.
Sodium
• Maintains cellular osmotic pressure.
• Helps in maintaining blood volume and
blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
Sulfur
• Involved in protein synthesis.
• Protects your cells from damage.
• Helps in promoting the loosening and shedding of Skin.
Phosphorus
• Helps the body store and use energy.
• Works with calcium in the formation of strong, healthy bones and teeth.
Potassium
• Controls nerve impulses and muscle contractions.
• Helps in maintaining fluid balance in the body.
• Maintains proper functioning of muscle and nervous system.
Zinc
• Aids in wound healing.
• Supports the immune system.
• Helps in the formation of strong bones.
• Controls the functioning of the sense organs in the nervous system.
• Important and essential process of cell division and reproduction.
