Minerals: sports nutrition
What is
mineral matter? They are an integral component of blood, lymph, cells, and they
play a huge role in the body. Without them, full-fledged work capacity, brain
activity, sports activities and a number of other activities are impossible. It
is important for athletes who give the body regular exercise training to
maintain it with special nutritional supplements that prevent exhaustion and contribute
to achieving good results.
Mineral
substances are found in almost all products of plant and animal origin, but
people involved in sports need to replenish their balance twice as much as
others.
List of minerals
All mineral
substances are divided into two fundamental groups: micro and macro elements.
The latter include calcium, potassium, sodium, and others, but in order for the
body to function normally, it also requires trace elements, which are much less
in foods. According to official data, more than 30 micro elements are vital:
iodine, tin, vanadium, iron, chromium and others. All of them somehow influence
the activity of the organism:
- Sodium.
Forms gastric juice, promotes the secretion of pancreatic enzymes, stabilizes metabolic
processes
- Iron. It is necessary for proper blood formation - more than half of the iron in the body is in hemoglobin, the rest are involved in the formation of the coloring matter and are deposited in the liver “in reserve”.
- Calcium. It is irreplaceable for ensuring normal blood clotting, as well as stable work of the heart, strengthening bones.
- Selenium. Strengthens the body's immune defense, is a strong antioxidant, as it reduces the negative effects of free radicals.
- Magnesium. Takes part in fermentation processes, provides carbohydrate metabolism and protein synthesis, calms the nervous system, dilates blood vessels, improves performance and brain activity.
- Lodine. The only trace element involved in the process of biological hormonal synthesis. It has a huge impact on the synthesis of thyroxin, the most important thyroid hormone.
This, of
course, is not a complete list of the most important micro and macro elements.
In complex sport nutrition there is a full composition of the necessary
substances for professional athletes who want to achieve results while
maintaining strength and health.
