Diabetes Nutrition - Trace Elements
Iron
It is an important constituent of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier of red blood cells, many proteins in various types of cells and an important part of many enzyme reactions in various tissues. Haem iron is present in meat and meat products. The sources of non-haem iron, the main form of dietary iron are cereals, vegetables, pulses, beans and fruits. Phytates present in grains, vegetables, fruits, milk reduce the absorption of non-haem iron. Vitamin C and meat, fish and sea food increase the absorption of non-haem iron. An Indian diet contains 20-30 mg iron/day. Deficiency of iron produces anemia.
Iodine
Iodine is a constituent of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency disorders (1DD) affect millions of people throughout the world. Besides the sub-Himalayan region, IDD has been detected in many pockets in India. The daily iodine requirement is 100-150 micrograms. Fish, meat, milk, eggs, cereal grains, fruits, legumes are good sources of iodine. Distribution of iodized salt is another approach to control of IDD in large population. IDD include retarded physical and mental development, deafness and goitre (swelling in the neck).
Selenium
Selenium, obtained from cereals, fish, poultry and meat is an antioxidant. It plays a role in thyroid and reproductive function.
OTHER TRACE ELEMENTS
Elements like zinc, copper, chromium, molybdenum and fluorides are required in trace amounts for a wide range of functions of the body.
It is suggested that chromium potentates action of insulin. Fluoride has a role in bone mineralization and hardening of tooth enamel. Low intake of fluoride is associated with an increased incidence of dental caries.
