What are inorganic salts? What is inorganic salt?

Inorganic salts, that is, salts in inorganic compounds, are mineral nutrients existing in the body and food. Inorganic salts in cells mostly exist in the form of ions, which are composed of organic and inorganic substances. The most important trace inorganic salts are chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), fluorine (F), iodine (I), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), selenium (se) and zinc (Zn).

Sodium is the main component of salt. China Nutrition Society recommended/kloc-The appropriate sodium intake for adults over 0/8 years old is 2.2g per day, and the elderly should eat light food. Sodium is ubiquitous in all kinds of foods. The main sources of human sodium are salt, soy sauce, pickled food, smoked food and salty food.

The distribution of inorganic salts in the body is extremely uneven. For example, most of calcium and phosphorus are in hard tissues such as bones and teeth, iron is concentrated in red blood cells, iodine is concentrated in thyroid, barium is concentrated in adipose tissue, cobalt is concentrated in hematopoietic organs, and zinc is concentrated in muscle tissue.

Inorganic salts can maintain the acid-base balance in cells, regulate osmotic pressure and maintain the morphology and function of cells. Such as: calcium ions and potassium ions in blood. Is to maintain the life activities of organisms. For example, magnesium ion is the activator of ATPase, and chloride ion is the activator of sialidase.
