They are part of the recommendations of all nutritionists who advise healthy food, we see them on every label of every product we buy. But how much information do we really have on the vital role of mineral salts in the body? What are they and in which products can we find them?

Like all other nutrients and mineral salts, the human body receives them through daily food.

Mineral salts enter into the composition of complex organic compounds and through them they fulfill important functions in the human body.

These substances are of great importance as they also serve as components of the human skeleton and teeth, in which calcium and phosphorus are included.

Mineral substances are called macroelements, this includes salts such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, iron, etc.

Products where you can find all mineral salts

They are rich in calcium salts; milk, cheese, spinach, peanuts, soy, egg yolk, yogurt, etc.

They are rich in phosphorus; fish, lentils, wheat bread, egg yolk.

They are rich in iron; spinach, eggs, wheat bread, livers are separated from animal products.

Salt as a separate product
Table salt, which contains sodium and chlorine, is of particular importance.

Salt gives flavor to products, but it should be consumed in moderate amounts in daily food, as it increases the amount of water you drink, which burdens the kidneys, the work of the kidneys, the heart and other organs.

During the day, the average person should not take more than 15-20 g of salt, this is related to the climate and sweat production.

Water, the richest in mineral salts

It is the most necessary product for man and for every living being.

No living cell can live without water.

Water is found in all cells of the human body.

A person can survive several days without food, but not without water.

The average amount of water that the body should receive through food and liquids should be 2-2.5 liters of water per day.

Excess water hurts the work of the heart and kidneys, so it is not recommended to drink it in bulk, but to replenish it with fluids through soup, fruit juices, lemonades, etc.

To quench thirst, tea or even lukewarm water is used by drinking it with sips. /AgroWeb.org
