Except for the foods in the adjacent columns, it exists in large quantities in dairy as well as salmon, sardines and sea food. Its daily recommended dose (RDA) may gradually reach 1300 mg (depending on sex and age).

Even though calcium intake is the greatest factor in diseases such as osteoporosis, osteomalakia, and rachitis, it is not the only factor. There are many other conditions involved in the absorption and use of calcium, which include other nutritional elements, exercise and drug intake.

Except for what is mentioned in the adjacent columns, it exists in meat, poultry, fish, eggs. Women must pay special attention to their iron intake.
more...
The most serious disease caused by iron deficiency is a form of anaemia where the red blood cells are smaller in size and they have a washed out colour. The body's tissues are "hungry" and there is fatigue, short temper, paleness and other symptoms.

Because it is water soluble, it washes out with rain, and many mountainous areas do not have it in their ground. In general it exists in: Sea food, seaweed, papaya, pineapple, and anything that grows near the sea, e.g. onions draw iodine from the air into the ground.

Iodine (I), is one of the most vital biochemical elements, keeping us at a lively state of living. The thyroid, which bases its good function on iodine, supplies the body, among other things with an effluence that destroys harmful toxins before they enter the brain.
more ...
By using iodine, the thyroid speeds metabolism in all body organs. It is known that people do not take in iodine from the same foods, as it is known that iodine quantities differ from area to area.
more...
In general it is accepted that people with depression and slowness need iodine, while it appears that those with a possible deficiency have an absence of emotional control. personal check up...

The human body contains approximately 6 gr of chromium. The largest concentrations are in hair, the spleen, the kidneys and the testicles. It also appears in smaller concentrations in the heart, lungs, pancreas and brain. It activates enzymes involved in the metabolism of glucose and the synthesis of protein.
more...
As we grow old many of us present a resistance to insulin, which results in high blood sugar. This syndrome which was recognized recently and is called the X syndrome, includes obesity, cardiovascular problems and some times leads to diabetes. There is research conducted about the relationship/ use of chromium and high blood sugar.
more...
The processing method e.g. of grains, removes about 3/4 of the chromium quantities. According to certain estimates 80% of the USA population presents chromium deficiency. Especially athletes belong to the group with increased chances of chromium deficiency.

The second metal in quantity in the body, after calcium. About 80-90% exists in bones and teeth, where it plays an important role for their health. It takes part however in nearly every chemical reaction of the body. It is involved in the formation of phospholipids, and in the metabolization of energy, its storing and regulation. It also plays a role in the transmittal of neural stimulations, the secretion of hormones and the synthesis of proteins.
more...
Phosphorus constantly cooperates with calcium, and it is recommended to have them at a 1:1 proportion, even though in bones their proportion is 1:2. However in most diets phosphorus exceeds this proportion, with a daily average intake of 1500-1600mg. It is believed that this unnatural proportion over a long period of time, in parallel to a small intake of calcium, is one of the factors that lead to osteoporosis.

Adults have approximately 250 grams of potassium. There are recent indications about a correlation with blood pressure. It is necessary for the balance of liquids in the cells and the enzymatic reactions that take place in them.
more...
Because potassium is abundant in natural foods, it is good to eat foods rich in it, such as fresh fruit and vegetables. Most people must reduce the intake of Sodium, so it reaches a 1:1 proportion with potassium.
more...
They include: nausea, vomiting (which may lead to greater loss of potassium), muscle weakness, muscle cramps, tachycardia and others.

It helps retain the body alkaline, and as many therapists already know alkaline foods are valuable to a sick person. Sodium, which usually exists in foods with chrorine, cleans the cells. Usually foods with a lot of sodium also have oxygen apart from chlorine.
more...
Table salt consist of Sodium and chlorine, in almost equal quantities. This means inorganic sodium and chlorine. For this reason it is not as valuable and useful as the sodium in organic foods. Sodium therefore we receive from plants and vegetables is organic, like humans, and therefore more useful.
more...
Albuminuria shows a deficiency of sodium and chlorine. Breathing is difficult without sodium. It is said that absense of sodium may lead to catarrhact.

It exists in meat, poultry, fish and sea food. Indications that its levels fall during periods of physical and mental pressure. Infections of the upper respiratory system lower its levels. It is calculated that 90% of athletes do not have a sufficient intake of zinc.
more...
The body does not appear to store satisfactory quantities of zinc for when it needs it, while the small available quantity of biologically available zinc is used up rather quickly. Possible symptoms of its deficiency is the weakened ability of recuperation, loss of taste and hearing sharpness, loss of appetite and others.

The human body contains 10-20 mg in total. It possibly helps preserve the bone density of menopausal women. There are references for small absorption in the intestine, especially when it does not come from animal based foods.
more...
There are indications from experiments in animals, that its deficiency may play a role in glucose tolerance, since animals with Mn deficiency produced 63-76% of the insulin of animals without deficiency. Research has shown that a diet rich in processed carbohydrates may not supply a satisfactory quantity of manganese.

It exists in satisfactory quantities in food and deficiencies are seen only in malnourished individuals or those who do not follow a balanced diet such as alcoholics and diabetics.
