“…Consistent with various observations in other Western populations (2,7,38,39) , our results indicated that sedentary young adults consumed lower amounts of essential minerals and vitamins from the array of foods while meeting their energy needs. Diets low in energy and nutrients, to compensate for increasingly sedentary lifestyles, may, however, have detrimental effects on overall health.…”

Objective: Both physical activity (PA) and diet are important contributors to health and well-being; however, there is limited information on the association of these behaviours and whether observed associations differ by weight. The present study aimed to evaluate whether nutrient intake is associated with PA and if this association varies by weight in young adults. Design: Cross-sectional study to analyse the association between PA and nutrient intake. Setting: Participants were stratified as normal weight (18·5 kg/m 2 < BMI < 25·0 kg/m 2 ) and overweight/obese (BMI ≥ 25·0 kg/m 2 ). PA level (PAL) was calculated (PAL = total daily energy expenditure/RMR) and used to stratify groups (PAL < 1·6, 1·6 ≤ PAL < 1·9, PAL ≥ 1·9). Subjects: Adults (n 407; age 27·6 (SD 3·8) years, 48 % male), with BMI between 20 and 35 kg/m 2 , having at least two 24 h diet recalls and at least 5 d (including two weekend days) of valid, objectively measured PA data were included in the analysis. Results: In normal-weight participants, higher PAL was associated with higher intakes of minerals (except Ca, Fe and Zn), B-vitamins and choline (P for trend <0·05). In the overweight/obese group, higher PAL was associated with higher intakes of fibre, K, Na and Cu (P for trend <0·05). These differences, however, were no longer significant after additionally controlling for total energy intake. Conclusions: More active young adults have higher intakes of essential micronutrients. The benefits of PA may be predominantly due to a higher overall food intake while maintaining energy balance rather than a healthier diet.

“…These minerals present important roles in the control of cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance, which are the main determinants of the blood pressure level (Karppanen et al 2005). Cl and Na were believed to be readily equilibrated and achieving iso-osmolality with blood (Titze and Ritz 2009).…”

Fruits are rich in minerals, which are essential for a wide variety of metabolic and physiologic processes in the human body. The use of frozen fruits has greatly spread in the last years not only in the preparation of juices, but also as raw material for yogurts, candies, cookies, cakes, ice creams, and children's food. However, up to now there is no data about the mineral profile of frozen fruits. This is the first database to quantify the levels of minerals in 23 samples of frozen fruits, including the most used around the world and some native fruits from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Considering the Dietary Reference Intakes, 100g of frozen fruits can provide 0.2 to 2.8% of macro and 2.5 to 100% of microminerals for adults (31-50 years old). Although geographical differences should be considered, these data can help to plan diets and to develop population interventions aiming to prevent chronic diseases.

“…Even though adequate sodium content is vital for health and savor, its excess is link to the development of hypertension and associated pathologies (Karppanen et al, 2005). Taking this into account, WHO (2006) recommended a decrease in salt intake (under 5g/day) as being one of the most important prevention methods for non-transmissible diseases (Hashem et al, 2014).…”

Our study aimed to determine and quantify the calcium and magnesium addition given by natural brine used in the processing of two dairy products. The research has been made on brine samples (natural and conventional) and commercially processed dairy (telemea and cheese) in the south-west Oriental Carpathian Mountains. We determined the calcium and magnesium content of the studied milk by two comparative methods (Perkin Elmer ICP device and complexometeric method) together with other basic physical and chemical parameters: dry matter/ humidity (steamer drying method), fat (butirometric method), sodium chloride (Mohr method) and pH (with an electronic pH meter). We also investigated the preferences of two consumer groups through tastings, for salted/ unsalted cheese and cheese salted with natural/conventional brine. Data analysis revealed that calcium as well as magnesium content are significantly higher in Cheese (p=0.008) and natural brine (p=0.009) added in Telemea (p=0.10). In the consumer preferences, results have shown a predominance for salted Cheese (90.3%), followed by Cheese prepared in natural brine (69.2%). We concluded that, natural, mineral rich brine resulted to be mostly relevant and can increase the biological and sensory qualities of dairy products for a lower processing price.
