minerals Flashcards
minerals carbon
proton- positive charge
more electrons negative
iron give haemoglobin oxygen binding capacity
digestive enzymes - role unbound the minerals
minerals needed in the kerb cycle
what effect bioavaliabilty
minerals can compete with one other
calcium - can inhibit iron ad zinc
iron reduces zinc absorobtion
highly bioavality e.g. magnesium citrate, glycinate
less oxalate
organic carries better bioavailability- amount absorbed and available for function
iron -poorly absorbed
low bone mineral density
sign of calcium deficiency
do not absorb calium without Vit D- low stomach acid
form crystal that make it diffiuclt to absorbption
e.g spinach
animal protein -acid forming
vit D to get calcilum in the gut and K in the bones
calcium inthe wrong place can cause what
kidney stones, arithtist, hardening of arteries
amaranth- high in iron and protein- add to prorriage
consiptaion- cramp muscles in the bowel
magnesium - need to use test in the cells- blood usually shows normal
mag citrate for consipatation
mg mallat- muscle pain
magnesium oils- good for muscle cramp
zinc
need to make vit A for retinal.
low dgestive enynemes- low protein
How to get rid of phytates
soaking, sprouting, fermenting, lentils and beans, increases the nutrient levels and increase absorption levels
zinc
Infertility for men
What causes low zinc
alcohol
low intake
poor absorption
Phosphorus
hydroxyapatite- gives strength in bones
Potassium
avocado- 599 mg
