OUR MINERAL BALANCE:THE MINERALS
MAGNESIUM
• Required for the active transport of potassium and calcium across cell
membranes.
• Affects the conduction of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and
normal rhythm of the heart.
• Involved in more than 300 essential metabolic reactions
CALCIUM
• Levels in the blood and fluid surrounding the cells must be maintained
within a very narrow concentration range for normal physiological
functioning.
• The functions of calcium are so vital that the body will demineralize
bone to maintain normal blood calcium levels when calcium intake is
inadequate.
|
POTASIUM
• Essential dietary mineral functioning as an electrolyte, a substance
that dissociates into ions in solution making it capable of conducting
electricity.
• Potassium is the principal positively charged ion (cation) inside of
cells.
SODIUM
• Principal cation in extracellular fluid.
• Concentration differences between potassium and sodium across cell
membranes create an electrochemical gradient known as the
Membrane Potential.
• Control of cell membrane potential is critical for nerve transmission,
muscle contraction, and cardiac function.
