• Anthocyanin antioxidant that fights cell damage and helps reduce cholesterol.
• Beta carotene antioxidant that protects the arteries, fight infections and prevent some cancers.
• Calcium strengthens bones.
• Chlorophyll improves the immune system.
• Sulfur aids in cell renewal.
• Iron essential element in the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to cells.
• Good match for bone health and also for memory.
• Glucosinolates antioxidants that protect the body from cancer.
• Antioxidant lycopene prevents prostate tumor.
• Magnesium acts on the immune system.
• Potassium regulates blood pressure and kidney function.
• Selenium combat the action of free radicals in cells.
• Vitamin A has antioxidant power.
• B vitamins help to eliminate toxins.
• Vitamin C essential to the immune system and healthy teeth, hair, muscles and bones. It also helps in iron absorption.
• Zinc acts on the enzyme activity.

Zinc is an essential micronutrient, is one of the minerals that the body serves several functions: conversion of proteins into energy, stimulation of enzyme activity (over 100 enzymes), immune system function, wound healing, intervention in perceptions the taste and smell and DNA synthesis. Zinc is also noted for her role in the formation of RNA and DNA, to the prostate and work in conjunction with calcium in bone formation.

This micronutrient is found in all body cells. Will influence the functions of the mind, body recovery process, stability of the blood and the body's alkaline balance.

The organs that depend on this mineral are the heart, brain and reproductive organs. Deficiency symptoms: poor appetite, loss of taste, growth retardation, hypogonadism in males, lethargy and skin changes.

85 grams of pork = 2.2 mg of zinc
30 grams of cheddar cheese = 0.9 mg of zinc

Sodium is a nutrient that, together with chlorite, as table salt. These minerals are noted for being among the main micronutrients present in the extracellular fluid. These micronutrients are important for the maintenance of membrane potential, which is held particularly by radio base only + / K + / ATPase. This uses energy to launch the sodium out of cells and potassium into them. In turn, the perfect control of the membrane potential of cells is essential for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction and heart function.

The mineral also plays other roles, such as participation in the absorption of amino acids, glucose and water. Determining a micronutrient extracellular volume, you can adjust the pressure setting oconteúdo sodium in the body. As the main source of the mineral is salt, we give special attention to the amount used in food preparation, excess salt may encourage the development of hypertension.

Minerals: sodium

The sodium deficiency is rare, being noted only in salt-restricted diets too.

However, a large fluid retention or the constant loss of fluids can lead to low sodium concentration, defined as hyponatremia. Symptoms of hyponatremia include headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, fatigue and disorientation.

The daily sodium intake for adults is 1.3 grams (equivalent to 3.8 grams of salt per day).

Check below the amount of mineral contained in certain foods:

A packet of crisps = 1.3 grams of sodium
85 grams of ham = 1 g sodium
1 cup of tomato juice with salt = 0.88 grams of sodium
1 sausage = 0.46 grams of sodium
1 medium carrot = 0,021 grams of sodium
