Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are essential for the vital functions of the body. They participate in nearly every process, such as energy production, blood clotting, growth and development, bone formation, and more. It is necessary to enrich the diet with micronutrients and ensure their daily intake.
It is critical to supply the body with the required amounts of micronutrients and to avoid both deficiencies and toxicities (excessive amounts). An imbalance of micronutrients can result from difficulties in nutrient absorption and/or an unhealthy diet.
A long-term imbalance of micronutrients can lead to serious health problems and also affect the quality of life. Some micronutrients work together and aid in each other’s absorption. For example, vitamin A is crucial for vision and the prevention of night blindness, and zinc plays a significant role in the absorption of vitamin A. Similarly, vitamin D and calcium work together; vitamin D, primarily sourced from sunlight and partially from certain foods like fatty fish, helps the body absorb calcium, and together they contribute to bone health. Another important micronutrient is iron, which is directly linked to energy levels and works with vitamin C to significantly enhance iron absorption in the body.
A balanced diet rich in essential macronutrients and micronutrients helps prevent nutrient imbalances and reduces the risk of developing various health problems over time.
