Many people think of the shortage of vitamins and in every possible way try to fill it. At the same time forget about important mineral substances which are also necessary for normal functioning of a human body.
The human body daily needs considerable dosages of the most various organic and inorganic compounds. Besides vitamins about which even school students almost never forget there is one more, a group of chemical elements, not less significant for an organism, which in science it is accepted to call minerals.
Mineral substances are the most simple substances which are present in full at Mendeleyev's table. All mineral substances necessary for an organism for maintenance of normal functioning, it is possible to divide into two groups: minerals and macrocells.
Macrocells represent the special importance that is emphasized in the name "macro" (it is literally translated as "more / big"). These minerals are required for an organism in a large number daily and, depending on the specific miner, from 200 to 1000 mg, and in a case with chlorine to 3000 mg. Carry to group of the macrocells necessary for the person: calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine, sodium.
- Mg (magnesium) - this macrocell is the most important for maintenance of normal work of a cardiac muscle. So, besides this function, magnesium has a huge impact on maintenance of functioning of nervous system. The recommended daily minimum - about 300 mg.
- Cl is chlorine, at the same time being poison in large numbers, this element of the table of Mendeleyev plays an important role in maintenance of acid-base balance of an organism. HCl is hydrochloric acid and it is the main component of gastric juice. Chlorine, in turn, participates in metabolism of this acid, as a result, influences digestive processes. The recommended standard daily rate for the healthy adult is from 1 to 3 g. It should be noted that even 7 g of chlorine a day won't do much harm to an organism.
- Ca (calcium) - is responsible for formation bone and nervous tissues though 99% of calcium contain in bones and teeth. When the organism tests its shortcoming, teeth and bones become brittler, and the person is more irritable. The recommended minimum for an adult organism not less than 1 g a day.
- P (phosphorus) - is responsible for a skeleton krepkost. More than 80% of phosphorus contain in bones and teeth of the person, this element is also inseparably linked with magnesium and calcium. In addition, extremely important function of phosphorus is "participation" in metabolic processes of saturation of an organism energy when splitting molecules of glucose. The recommended dosage makes about 0.6-0.8 g/days.
- Na (sodium) - also as potassium, chlorine and sodium is a macrocell "electrolyte". Normal exchange of liquid between cages of an organism and the external environment depends on sodium, magnesium protects cages and bodies from dehydration. Necessary standard daily rate for the adult - about 500-600 mg.
- K (potassium) - is responsible for a heart rhythm, works together with sodium for maintenance of normal work of nervous and muscular fabrics. Also is responsible for a rhythm of work of a cardiac muscle, cleans an organism from poisonous substances. Process of normal saturation of cages of an organism oxygen depends on potassium level in an organism. The recommended daily dose - about 2 g a day, however, has practically no its deficiency nobody as potassium contains almost in all food.
Raznobrazny food on your table will promote maintenance of necessary daily level of these macrocells in an organism.
