Calcium is an essential mineral for the formation and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Adequate calcium intake helps prevent osteoporosis, a disease characterised by bone loss and increased bone fragility.
Calcium plays a key role in muscle contraction. It helps muscles contract and then relax. It is essential for the transmission of signals between nerve cells, which ensures proper muscle function.
Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions that are important for the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. It is involved in the conversion of food into energy and helps in the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source of energy for cells.
Magnesium improves the body's response to insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Adequate magnesium intake can help prevent insulin resistance.
Iron is a key component of haemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues. Without enough iron, the body cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to a lack of oxygen in the cells. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia, a condition that manifests itself in fatigue, weakness, pallor and shortness of breath.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus from the diet, which is essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth. Adequate levels of vitamin D help prevent bone loss and the risk of fractures, especially in older people. Some studies suggest that getting enough vitamin D may reduce the risk of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin D also affects the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with a higher risk of depressive conditions. Some research suggests that vitamin D may have a positive effect on cognitive ability and may play a role in preventing neurodegenerative diseases.
