Explain Minerals requirement during thyphoid

Minerals:  Loss of electrolytes and water is observed due to diarrhoea. Thus liberalizing on sodium intake  through salty soups, beverages are desired. Potassium intake can be increased by emphasizing  cooked fruits, low fibre vegetables, washed and dehusked pulses. Food preparations in forms like juices,  stews,  soups and dal water are beneficial. The other minerals, which are of  importance,  include iron particularly if  blood is lost due  to haemorrhage in the intestines. Losses of  zinc and chromium have also been observed.
