water and major minerals - Coggle Diagram

- - - - major and trace minerals (100mgs a day)
      - phytic acid = in grains, seeds, and beans that interferes with mineral absorption
      - oxalic acid = in spinach, collard greens, and sweet potatoes that interferes with mineral absorption
      - minerals
        
        calcium
        
        when low PTH is secreted that stimulates osteoclasts
        
        Calcitonin = when levels are too high
        
        hydroxyapatite = crystalline structure. Bone mineralization bones get stronger
        
        Osteroprosis, osteopenia, peak bone mass (calcium deficiency) hypercalcemia - high blood calcium
        
        Phosphorus
        
        hyperphosphatemia - high blood phosphorus levels
        
        sodium
        
        sodium sensitive - likely to develop hypertension
        
        systolic pressure = ventricles contract
        
        diastolic pressure - ventricales relax
        
        Potassium
        
        hypokalemia - low blood potassium
        
        Magnesium
        
        hypermagnesemia - high blood magnesium
        
        Chloride
        
        maintaining fluid balance
        
        Sulfur
        
        Glutathione - antioxidant
