Which are the most essential minerals for the human body?

I am looking for the minerals that are required in your diet.
Answer:
salt
calcium
iron
omega 3 (in fish, mineral?)
sodium
Here is a list of the essential minerals and vitamins:

Minerals are inorganic substances mined from the earth, meaning they are not of plant or animal origin. They exist naturally on and in the earth and many are critical parts of human tissue and are termed “essential” nutrients. Of the 92 naturally occurring elements, the 14 minerals that have been shown by research to be essential to human health are: calcium, chromium, copper, fluorine, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium and zinc.*1 Essential macrominerals are those we need in significant quantities (such as calcium) – usually measured in milligrams, and essential trace minerals are those we need in minute quantities (such as selenium) – usually measured in micrograms (one microgram [mcg] equals 1/1,000th of a milligram [mg]).
You can check out the label of daily multivitamins for the whole list. However, here is a list of major ones with more information about sources (other than multivitamins) and benefits.http://www.cylive.com/viewcontent.do?id=...
