Calcium is essential for the formation of bone and teeth, for clotting of blood, contraction of heart and muscle etc
Sodium chloride is the only mineral which is taken in more or less pure form in addition to the amount present in natural foods. Salt taken in food is the source of Nacl. The requirements depend on the climate and occupation. People doing heavy work in hot humid climates need more Nacl. A deficiency can cause heat cramps- intense and painful contractions of skeletal muscle. But consumption of excessive amounts of Nacl causes Oedema in protein deficiency and increases blood pressure in hypertension.
Potassium is the major basic of ion of the body cells. The functions of potassium are : Regulation of pH of cell contents, Regulation of the osmotic pressure of cell contents and Potassium ion increases the relaxation of heart muscle which is antagonized by calcium ion. Potassium deficiency causes weakness and muscular paralysis.
Iron deficiency causes anaemia and is widely prevalent among children, adolescent girls and expectant and nursing mothers.
