Minerals
Overview
Human tissues contain various elements from nature. Currently, almost 92 natural elements found in the earth’s crust are present in the human body. All of them can be detected, and the types and contents of their elements are related to the composition of surface elements in the geographical environment in which they live and their dietary intake.
(-)Characteristics of minerals
1. Minerals cannot be synthesized in the body and must be taken in from the outside. 2. Minerals are the only nutrients that can be obtained through natural water. 3. Minerals are extremely unevenly distributed in the body. 4. There are synergistic or antagonistic effects between minerals
(2) Causes of mineral deficiency and excess in the human body
1.Global environmental factors 2. Food ingredients and processing factors 3. Human body’s own factors
calcium
Calcium is the most abundant mineral element in the human body, accounting for 1.5% to 2.0% of adult body weight.

(3) Other factors: Some antibiotics such as penicillin, aeromycin, and neomycin can promote calcium absorption.
excretion
1) Body factors: Blood calcium concentration can regulate urinary calcium excretion. When the blood calcium concentration is low, the calcium reabsorption rate increases and urinary calcium appears. decrease; (2) Dietary factors: Calcium intake has little effect on urinary calcium excretion and mainly affects fecal calcium excretion.
(3) Deficiency and excess
Severe deficiency can lead to kyphosis, with symptoms such as "0" or "X" shaped legs, rib beads, and chicken breasts. People with insufficient calcium intake are prone to dental caries, which affects the quality of their teeth. Excessive calcium intake may also produce adverse effects, such as hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, calcification of blood vessels and soft tissues, and an increased relative risk of kidney stones.
