  - - - when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time
    - - selenium deficiency contributes synergistically with iodine deficiency
    - - Keshan disease is a congestive cardiomyopathy caused by a combination of dietary deficiency of selenium and the presence of a mutated strain of Coxsackievirus, named after Keshan County of Heilongjiang province, Northeast China, where symptoms were first noted. These symptoms were later found prevalent in a wide belt extending from northeast to southwest China, all due to selenium-deficient soil.
- - - - Carbohydrate metabolism
        
        Chromium is involved in regulating the action of insulin and helps to promote the use of glucose in the body. It improves insulin sensitivity, helps maintain normal blood sugar levels, and helps control blood sugar.
      - Fat metabolism
        
        Chromium is thought to help regulate fat metabolism and may help control cholesterol levels, but this is still being studied.
      - Protein metabolism
        
        Chromium is involved in protein metabolism and may have a certain effect on the utilization of amino acids and the synthesis of proteins.
      - Promote growth
        
        Chromium contributes to the normal growth and development of children and adolescents
    - - Muscle and nerve function
        
        Magnesium plays an important role in muscle contraction and nerve conduction. It helps muscles relax, prevents spasms, and is involved in nerve signaling, helping to maintain normal nervous system function.
      - Bone health
        
        Magnesium is one of the minerals essential for maintaining healthy bones. It helps to promote the absorption and utilization of calcium in the bones, which is conducive to the increase of bone density and the stability of bone structure.
      - Energy metabolism
        
        Magnesium is a catalyst for many enzyme reactions and is involved in energy metabolism processes. It helps in the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and is the main source of energy for cells.
      - Cardiovascular health
        
        Magnesium helps maintain the normal rhythm of the heart, contributes to the regulation of blood pressure, and has a certain impact on the function of the cardiovascular system.
      - Glucose regulation
        
        Magnesium is involved in the secretion and use of insulin and helps maintain normal blood sugar levels.
  - - - Nuts

      - Banana, Watermelon
- - - - Bone & teeth
      - Cell signaling.
      - Plays a vital role in the formation of DNA, RNA, and ATP.
      - Energy production.
      - Acid-base balance.
    - - Vitamin B12 synthesis:
        
        Red blood cell formation
        
        Nervous system function
- - - - Nerve Function: It aids in nerve signal transmission.
      - Muscle Function: It's crucial for muscle contractions.
      - Electrolyte Balance: Sodium is vital for maintaining electrolyte balance in the body.
      - Recommended Daily Amount:
        The recommended daily intake varies by age, health, and lifestyle, but generally, it's about 2,300 mg per day for adults.
    - - Food sources
        
        Cheese, Olives, and Pickles: Also good sources.
        
        Processed Foods: Often high in sodium.
        
        Table Salt: The most common source.
        
        Food Sources:
    - - Red Meat and Poultry: Rich in heme iron, which is more easily absorbed.
      - Beans, Lentils, and Spinach: Non-heme iron sources.
      - Fortified Cereals: Often fortified with iron.
- - - - Fruits: Bananas, oranges, kiwis, avocados, melons (such as cantaloupe and honeydew), and apricots are rich in potassium.
      - Vegetables: Spinach, broccoli, potatoes (with the skin), sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and Brussels sprouts are all good sources of potassium.
      - Legumes: Beans, lentils, and peas are not only excellent sources of protein and fiber but also provide a significant amount of potassium.
    - - Weakened Bones: Potassium plays a role in maintaining bone health by promoting the retention of calcium in the body. A deficiency in potassium can contribute to increased urinary calcium excretion, leading to decreased bone density and an increased risk of osteoporosis.
      - Muscle Weakness and Cramps: Potassium plays a crucial role in muscle function and contraction. A deficiency can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, and cramping. Severe potassium deficiency may even cause muscle paralysis or respiratory failure.
    - - Blood Pressure Regulation: It promotes vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure.
      - Proper Nervous System Function: transmission of nerve impulses, enabling the communication between nerve cells throughout the body
      - Electrolyte balance: regulate the movement of fluids and nutrients in and out of cells, ensuring proper cellular function
