There are many things that can affect them which cause the body to suffer. This essay will discuss the functions and sources of minerals as well as the function of water and the general effect of dehydration on the body. There are seven minerals that play a large part in the body and how it functions. The seven minerals are sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and sulfur. All of these minerals have a certain function and its own source. Sodium is needed to balance fluid and help muscle contractions. Good sources of sodium include table salt and soy sauce. There are also large amounts of sodium in processed foods along with small amounts in things like milk and bread. Chloride, like sodium, is needed for fluid balance but also makes stomach acid. Chloride is also found in products like table salt and soy sauce. It is also the same as sodium when it comes to the amount that is in certain foods like more in processed foods and less in products like meat, milk, and breads. Potassium is similar to both sodium and chloride. It is needed for fluid balance and muscle contraction, but also plays a part in nerve transmission. Good sources of potassium are meats, milk, fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Calcium is a very important mineral. Calcium is needed for...

...Mineral and Water Functions Essay Abstract This essay will explain the functions and sources of minerals, and the function of water in the body. I will also explain the general effect of dehydration on the body, and identify ways to prevent dehydration. Mineral and Water Functions Essay According to Vitamin and Supplements (2013), functions of minerals and there sources will vary according to the specific mineral. “Sodium is a mineral that is needed for balancing fluid in our body, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. The source of this mineral can be found in table salt, soy sauce, breads, vegetables, and unprocessed food. Chloride functions stomach acid and also maintain a proper balance of fluid in our bodies. This mineral can be found in meats, vegetables, and breads” (WebMD.COM, 2013). Calcium has a function maintaining healthy bones and teeth, nerve function, blood pressure, and blood clotting. Sources of calcium can be found in milk products, can fish, soy milk, and legumes. Phosphorus helps with developing healthy bones, maintaining acid balance, and found in our cells. The sources of phosphorus are poultry, eggs, meat, and milk. Magnesium function is needed for protein, immune system, nerve transmission, and can be found in bones. The sources are seeds, nuts, legumes, seafood, and green vegetables. Sulfur can be found in our protein molecules, and its sources are meats, fish, legumes, nuts, and milk (Vitamins and Supplements, WebMD.COM, 2013). The...

...Nutrition Analysis Essay- Vitamins and Minerals Vitamins and minerals are essential to optimal body function and the overall health of body cells. These two important nutrients are needed daily to keep the body functioning in several roles such as blood clotting. Vitamins are in two forms- fat soluble and water soluble. Lack of vitamins and minerals leads to deficiencies which affects body cells. “Vitamins are organic compounds that are needed in small amounts for growth, reproduction, and overall good health, and a deficiency of any one will cause physiological symptoms” (Blake 2017, p. 228). In comparison of her nutrients report to that of table 7.3, which shows deficiencies in vitamins A, D, C, & E, she is at risk of “night blindness”, “osteomalacia i.e. bone’s inability to mineralize properly due to lack of enough calcium and phosphorus” which leads to soft bones, deficiencies can also cause “nerve problems” which can lead to inability to control body parts movements, and “lower immune function” (Blake 2017, p. 264). Vitamin D is important for bone health by ‘helping with calcium and...

...Mineral and Water Functions Essay SCI/241 Lisa Shadow 6/15/2013 The body needs essential minerals to thrive and maintain life. These minerals are divided into two categories; major minerals (macrominerals) and trace minerals (microminerals). Both mineral groups are found in plant and animal sources. Both are needed in the body, but trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts than major minerals. Below is a chart with the major minerals, their functions and the sources they are found in. These major minerals include: Mineral | Function | Source | Sodium | Nerve transmission, fluid balance and muscle contraction. | Table salt, processed foods, soy sauce, vegetables. | Chloride | Major negative extracellular ion, fluid balance. | Table salt, soy sauce, processed food. | Potassium | Needed for proper fluid balance, nerve transmission and muscle contractions. | Meat, milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grain. | Calcium | Important for bones and teeth, helps muscles contract and relax, important in nerve functioning, blood clotting, blood pressure regulation and immune system health. | Milk and milk products, canned fish, fortified tofu and soy milk, broccoli, mustard greens. | Phosphorus | Important for healthy bones and teeth, found in every cell, part of the cell that maintains acid balance. | Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, processed food, including soda. | Magnesium | In bones, needed to make protein, muscle contractions nerve transition, immune system health...

...Color blindness or color vision deficiency is the inability or decreased ability to see color, or perceive color differences, under lighting conditions when color vision is not normally impaired. "Color blind" is a term of art; there is no actual blindness but there is a fault in the development of one or more sets of retinal cones that perceive color in light and transmit that information to the optic nerve Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseasesthat weaken the musculoskeletal system and hamper locomotion.[1][2] Muscular dystrophies are characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells andtissue.[3] Blood disorders can lead to poor blood clotting and continuous bleeding. The disorders can result from defects in the blood vessels or from abnormalities in the blood itself, such as in blood clotting factors or in platelets. Ichthyosis (plural ichthyoses) is a heterogeneous family of at least 28,[1] generalized, mostly genetic skindisorders. All types of ichthyosis have dry, thickened, scaly or flaky skin.[1] In many types there is cracked skin,[2] which is said to resemble the scales on a fish; the word ichthyosis comes from the Ancient Greek ιχθύς (ichthys), meaning "fish. Fragile X syndrome (FXS), Martin–Bell syndrome, orEscalante's syndrome (more commonly used in South American countries), is a genetic syndrome that is the most commonly known single-gene cause of autism and the most...

...Daniel Rutherford Jacobus Henricus Walther Hermann Nernst Reinhold Benesch & Ruth Erica Benesch Find How Oxygen is Transported in Human Body Frederick Soddy Artturi Ilmari Virtanen Louis Jacques Thenard discovers hydrogen peroxide Jbir ibn Hayyn Ya'qub Al-Kindi Paul Karrer Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier Few things are as important as water, which we know is made of oxygen and hydrogen. Did you know that Antoine Lavoisier was the discoverer of both elements? Contributions to Science Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier is one of the most important scientists in the history of chemistry. He discovered elements, formulated a basic law of chemistry and helped create the metric system. During his time, people believed that when an object burns, a mysterious substance called ‘phlogiston’ was released. This was called the ‘phlogiston theory’. Lavoisier’s experiments demonstrated the contrary, i.e. when something burned, it actually absorbed something from the air, instead of releasing anything. He later named the ‘something’ from the air as oxygen, when he found that it combined with other chemicals to form acid. (In Greek, ‘oxy’ means sharp, referring to the sharp taste of acids.) Henry Cavendish had earlier isolated hydrogen, but he called it inflammable air. Lavoisier showed that this inflammable air burned to form a colourless liquid, which turned out to be water. The Greek word for water is ‘hydro’, so the air that burned to form water was hydrogen! Lavoisier was...

...Serita McKoy HON 410 Professor Yesudas Choondassery February 22, 2013 Our Future: What Fast Food is Taking From Us We as Americans are facing quite an epidemic when it comes to health. It is not as though the nation was stricken with some sort of plague or fell victim to some conspiracy. Unfortunately, the cause of our issues is much more in our control than I think we would care to admit. Our health is depleting at large numbers all because of our diet. The rates of heart related issues, blood pressure and diabetes are at astounding numbers. These medical concerns are costing the country billions of dollars in healthcare. Why and when did our health begin to plummet? Over past decades America’s love for junk and fast food is the culprit behind this country having one of the unhealthiest populations any continent has to offer. This fascination of fast food had to start somewhere. Not only that but so did awareness that this particular industry may single handedly be responsible for obesity in this country. There are few topics actually that will help to understand this phenomenon a little further beyond the awareness of fast food. There was legislation that was passed that was supposed to help Americans understand what they are consuming on a daily basis. We learn this is only as helpful as one is able to translate the information. Many people are lost when it comes to nutritional food labels and what the numbers mean when it comes to their personal diet and...
