“…The equations from the linear regressions are N a n = 0.55Naps + 1.45; KTR = 0.99Kps scribed for patients with diuretic-induced hypokalemia, although it is very unpalatable. Foods low in sodium content but relatively high in potassium and chlorine contents may be effective replacements for potassium chloride salts (Kassirer et al, 1965;Miller et al, 1979). The current data identify foods that contain relatively large amounts of potassium and chlorine and negligible amounts of sodium.…”

The essential mineral nutrients are classified into two groups: the principal elements calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium; and the trace and ultratrace elements iron, fluorine, zinc, silicon, copper, boron, selenium, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, cobalt, tin, vanadium, and nickel. These minerals perform a wide variety of functions serving as components of bones and teeth (calcium, phosphorus, fluorine); as components of cellular membranes (phosphorus); as high energy compounds (phosphorus); as components of proteins and amino acids (sulfur); in maintaining the appropriate pH and water volume of the organism (sodium, potassium, chlorine); in regulating metabolic rate (iodine); as components of (or cofactors for) enzymes (copper, zinc, selenium, molybdenum, manganese, iron, magnesium, calcium); in formation of hemoglobin (iron, cobalt, copper); in prevention of dental caries (fluorine); and in maintaining the appropriate level of muscle and nerve excitability (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium). Information is included on body content, daily requirement, effects of excess, deficiency or faulty utilization, modes of absorption and excretion, metabolic functions and modes of action, food sources, and toxicities.

Minerals that are essential to life are the source of metals and other inorganic elements involved in the most fundamental processes. For example, oxygen is utilized in the human body with the help of metal complexes. The human skeleton is composed of calcium and phosphorus and traces of other metals. The regulation of body‐fluid volume and acid‐base balance requires sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Several vitamins contain sulfur, one contains cobalt. Hormones contain iodine, sulfur, and zinc. States of dynamic equilibrium exist for the various mineral nutrients as well as mechanisms whereby a system can adjust to varying amounts of these minerals in diet. In forms usually found in foods, most mineral nutrients are not toxic when ingested orally. RDAs (recommended dietary allowances) can generally be eaten without concern for safety. The essential minerals are classified as either principal elements or trace and ultratrace elements. Principal elements are calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium, potassium, chlorine, and magnesium, Trace and ultratrace elements are iron,fluorine, zinc, copper, boron, selenium, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, cobalt, tin, vanadium, nickel, and arsenic. All are discussed in this article.
