“…In fact, more critical for human health than the individual values of Na, K, Ca, and Mg is the ratio of Na/K and Ca/Mg (Iwahori et al, 2017;Sukumar et al, 2019;Morrissey et al 2020), which is shown in Table 1. Our diet usually includes too high Na/K and Ca/Mg ratios, which leads to a disturbed balance between intracellular (K, Mg) and extracellular (Na, Ca) electrolytes and causes a state of "low-grade metabolic acidosis" (Carnauba et al, 2017).…”

“…Today, the Na/K ratio is commonly above 0.57, reflecting a much higher intake of sodium and a significantly lower potassium intake than the adequate ones recommended by EFSA (2000 mg for Na and 3500 mg for K). Also, the Ca/Mg ratio attracts great attention because its value above 2 is associated with an increased risk of metabolic, inflammatory, and cardiovascular disorders (Sukumar et al, 2019). The evidence suggests that high Na intake and low K, Ca, and Mg intakes lead to the occurrence and maintenance of high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome in a large portion of the population.…”

“…Reducing Na in processed foods is part of a public health strategy worldwide, intending to lower blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease in the population. Like the Na/K ratio, the relationship between Ca and Mg in the human body is complex (Sukumar et al, 2019). They participate together in regulating heart function, muscle contraction, and nerve conduction.…”

Macroelements such as Na, K, Ca, and Mg play a significant physiological role, and their inadequate intake has been linked to severe diseases, such as high blood pressure. Data on risk assessment for human health in Serbia, from the intake of these macroelements through the consumption of canned food, are minimal. Therefore, the content of Na, K, Ca, and Mg in five types of canned meat that members of the Serbian Armed Forces regularly use was examined. Macroelements were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in cans of beef goulash, pork ragout, spam, liver pate, and meatballs in tomato sauce, which were stored from one month to six years. The sodium content was significantly higher than the potassium content in all types of food, so the Na/K ratio below 1, desirable for good health, was not found in any of the analyzed products. Also, a significant number of samples had an unfavorable Ca/Mg ratio above 1. However, due to the low consumption of canned food by members of the Serbian Armed Forces, its contribution to the average daily intake of macroelements is almost negligible. The concentration of macroelements decreased with the shelf life, while a significant source of Ka and Mg, among analyzed ingredients, was ground red pepper.

“…Alternatively, magnesium concentration can be determined in circulating cells, demonstrating the way that compartmental magnesium varies during exercise (31). In addition, serum magnesium concentration is commonly measured in clinical settings; however, this measurement may not be an accurate representation of overall magnesium status (32). Ionized magnesium accounts for 67% of an individual's total magnesium concentration and is thus the most physiologically important quantity in determining magnesium status (33).…”

INTRODUCTION MagnesiumMagnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral and the second most abundant intracellular cation in the body, contributing to over 300 metabolic reactions (1). This essential nutrient is involved in the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins, proper bone development, maintenance of electrolyte balance and mineral homeostasis, as well as oxidative, immune, and neuromuscular functions (2). The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for magnesium in individuals, 14 yr of age and older, is between 310 and 420 milligrams per day (mg•d −1 ); but magnesium intake is reportedly suboptimal in most populations (3). Individuals with serum magnesium concentrations greater than 0.85 mmol•L −1 are likely to have adequate magnesium status, whereas individuals with serum magnesium concentrations around or below 0.75 mmol•L −1 are most likely to have a magnesium deficiency (4). A low serum magnesium concentration is associated with various chronic diseases (e.g., hypertension, cardiovascular disease, etc.), and research has shown that adequate magnesium intake has a potential therapeutic role in improving glucose and insulin metabolism. Furthermore, magnesium has been shown to treat severe asthma and migraines and assist in alleviating muscle cramps (5,6). It is currently estimated that 45% of adults from the United States are magnesium deficient, and 22% of international athletes are also clinically deficient (7,8). Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of muscle function and blood glucose concentrations, while also promoting calcium absorption. The increased importance of these functions in athletes advances the idea that magnesium, like other minerals, may exert an ergogenic effect, specifically in individuals with low serum magnesium concentrations (1,9,10). Vitamin DVitamin D is a lipid-soluble vitamin that is essential to muscle growth, cell differentiation, and bone mineralization (11,12).

“…2 Fruits are the main source of many nutrients such as fibres, potassium, phosphorus, copper, calcium, sulphur, magnesium, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, vitamin B 6 , vitamin C, minerals and flavonoids. [3][4][5][6][7][8] As such, citrus fruits are very rich in vitamin C. 9 Some of the animals such as fish and reptiles can produce vitamin C in their liver; however, unfortunately human beings does not have the ability to synthesise vitamin C. Therefore, an adequate amount of vitamin C is required to be taken from the food. 10 In addition, vitamin C has been considered as one of the best antioxidant.…”

Fruits are a natural source of antioxidants which inhibit the production and accumulation of high reactive oxygen species (ROS), whereas heavy metals may initiate the production of ROS. Therefore, the most commonly used fruits such as apple, apricot, banana, cherry, grapes, guava, lemon, mango, orange, peach and pomegranate were analysed for the most toxic heavy metals (Cr, Co, Ni, Cd and Pb). Acid digestion method was used for metal extraction. The metal analysis was carried out using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (FAAS) (Perkin Elmer AAS-700). The results showed that the observed concentrations of all the five metals are much lower than that of the World Health Organization (WHO)'s maximum permissible limits. Although the obtained values are lower than the WHO standards, the effect of prolonged exposure to sub-limital levels of toxic metals are not known, therefore close monitoring of heavy metals in fruit and other food commodities remains important.
