Study Notes
Minerals Classification
- Major minerals are required in quantities of 500 mg or more per day.
- Trace minerals are required in amounts of 100 mg or less per day.
Osteoporosis
- A disease characterized by significant bone mass loss, leading to a higher risk of fractures, especially in the wrist, spine, and hips.
Sodium Content in Foods
- Most unprocessed foods are low in sodium, with the exception of milk and dairy products.
Calcium and Phosphorus Deposition
- The deposition of calcium and phosphorus in bones is largely influenced by vitamin D.
Sodium Levels in Foods
- Among common foods, grape juice has the lowest sodium content compared to pepperoni pizza, macaroni salad, and milk.
Aldosterone Function
- Aldosterone functions to signal the kidneys to conserve sodium.
Water Content in Foods
- Butter contains the lowest water content compared to whole grain bread, tomato, and sirloin steak.
Caloric Loss from Perspiration
- Losing one liter of perspiration corresponds to a loss of approximately 600 kilocalories.
