Micronutrients are an important part of good health, and are
essential for the proper performance of all body functions.
Micronutrients are minerals and vitamins, which are very crucial for optimal
health. Vitamins are natural chemicals that we need for processes such as
growth, reproduction, and general well-being.
Are
Micronutrients Different Than Macronutrients?
Micro-nutrients are not the same as the macronutrients found
in protein, carbohydrates and fats. Micronutrients are considered
micro-nutrition since our body requires only very tiny amounts of them for
basic survival. However, if the body does not get the necessary amounts
of micronutrients required for optimal body function, then severe health
complications may arise.
Micronutrients
Rich Diet
Obtaining the minimum required levels of micronutrients in
the daily diet is not difficult. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
spanning the rainbow, such as red cherries, purple grapes, yellow bell peppers
and orange carrots. However, even with a well rounded fresh, raw diet many
people find that they are still deficient in micronutrients and that they need
to supplement.
Effects
of Micronutrient Deficiency on Health
Micronutrient deficiency may result in severe health
issues. Even the World Health Organization believes that micronutrient
deficiency poses a massive danger to the health of adults and children. Some
common micronutrient deficiencies include iodine deficiency, vitamin A
deficiency, magnesium deficiency and iron deficiency. It is important to
note that when one deficiency is addressed, it can create an imbalance of other
nutrients, which is why a healthy diet and broad spectrum supplementation is
important.
Micronutrients
Micronutrients play an essential role in our wellness.
Vitamins, antioxidants, and other food-derived chemicals protect our bodies
against infection, slow the aging process, and help the human body function at
an optimum level. Micronutrients have a special role in general wellbeing, and
a lack thereof can seriously affect your health. Eating a whole-food,
high-quality diet with a number of vegetables, fruits, and protein diet used to
be the very best approach to acquiring micronutrients. However, science has
shown that fruits and vegetables now contain much less nutrients than they did
40 years ago due to soil depletion, chemicals and over processing, which
underlines the importance of proper supplementation with broad spectrum
micronutrients.
Sodium, for example, is an essential mineral responsible for
keeping the appropriate fluid balance in the human body; it assists fluids to
pass through cell walls also helps to modulate proper pH levels in the
bloodstream.
There are many possible causes micronutrient deficiencies
including leaky gut syndrome, Candida, inadequate diet, blood sugar disorders,
disease and disorders and chronic anxiety. You can improve your micronutrient
uptake by healing your intestine, embracing anti-inflammatory nutrition,
reducing stress and enhancing sleep, encouraging stomach acid and enzymes, and
also using clinical micronutrient supplements.
