Sodium may promote the loss of calcium and potassium from the body
Sodium is much more reactive than gold or other precious metals. Even metals will form oxides, chlorides, and other minerals. Sodium, however, reacts with air and especially with water, and with some hydrated minerals.
You don't burn off sodium as you do fat or carbohydrates. Rather you excrete it and other minerals in your urine.
Not minerals, it is ions. Calcium ions and sodium ions.
1. How do minerals affect society?
SODIUM!
Simply just calcium carbonate, iron, magnesium, sodium and other metal ions.
sodium and potassium
Too much of sodium can cause high blood pressure and other health conditions.
OH-
minerals that are lost are sodium and water
No, salt and sodium are not the same. Salt is a compound made of sodium and chloride ions, whereas sodium is a natural element found in many foods. Sodium is a component of salt, but salt contains other minerals as well.
Sodium is an element on the periodic table with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. It is a metallic element that is soft and highly reactive. Minerals, on the other hand, are naturally occurring inorganic substances that have a crystalline structure. Sodium can be found in certain minerals, such as halite (rock salt).
