Document Summary
(cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) from complexes they body can"t absorb (i. e phytates, oxalates) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Minerals are rarely ever deficient and minerals in food rarely causes toxicity; it is overconsumption of supplements that creates the danger; hard to destroy. Ul for adults (2300 mg/day); avg people in canada 3400mg/day; ai 1200- 1500 sodium is present everywhere (especially canned food) hypertension salt has more effect on blood pressure than na/cl alone. Dash diet (diet __ stop hypertension) - low sodium diet, high in potassium. Bone loss (osteoporosis) more salt is associated with increased ca excretion. Food source processed foods (more sodium less potassium); 75% salt comes. Major anion of extracellular fluid where it associates with sodium. Moves passively across cell membrane to associates with potassium. Maintain electrolyte balance and maintain acidity in stomach acid (hcl) Recommendations abundant in processed foods (salt 60% cl); slightly more but equal to sodium.
