Hey mate
Here is ur answer

Calcium: Calcium also plays an important role in muscle contraction, transmitting messages through the nerves, and the release of hormones. If people aren't getting enough calcium in their diet, the body takes calcium from the bones to ensure normal cell function, which can lead to weakened bones.

Sodium : Most of the body's sodium is located in blood and in the fluid around cells. Sodium helps the body keep fluids in a normal balance (see About Body Water). Sodium plays a key role in normal nerve and muscle function.

Pottasium: Functions: Potassium is very important in the human body. Along with sodium, it regulates the water balance and the acid-base balance in the blood and tissues. ... Potassium is important for normal growth and for building muscle.

Iron: Children who do not eat enough iron-rich foods are also at risk. Iron is important because your body needs it to make the protein called hemoglobin. Without hemoglobin your red blood cells can't carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.
