1. High potassium: Potassium is the mineral with the highest content in the cell. It can antagonize sodium ions and change the sensitivity to salt. Fruits, vegetables and milk are rich in potassium.

2. High magnesium: Magnesium participates in many enzyme functions of the body; rich magnesium can improve insulin sensitivity. Vegetables and fruits are one of the main sources, and whole grains containing bran and germ (such as brown rice, oats, oatmeal, jojoba) are also high in content.

3. High calcium: Calcium-rich foods, mainly low-fat milk or skimmed milk, followed by: dark green vegetables, sea vegetables, small fish with bones, these calcium content is also very rich.
