The Essential Role of Micronutrients in Supporting Health and Wellbeing

Micronutrients are the vitamins and minerals found in the foods we consume. Unlike macronutrients, which include the larger nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and fats, micronutrients encompass all the other elements in our diet. The body typically requires smaller amounts of these nutrients, hence the term "micro" nutrients. Consuming an adequate amount of all micronutrients is essential for optimal health, as each vitamin and mineral has a specific role in bodily functions. To ensure sufficient intake of micronutrients, a well-balanced diet is necessary. Macronutrients are crucial for energy, mood, metabolism, growth, the immune system, and essentially every aspect of health. Both excessive (toxicity) and insufficient (deficiency) intake of any vitamin or mineral can result in adverse effects.

Research shows proper intake of  micronutrients have a huge positive effect on the following:

stabilizing mood aids in managing anxiety and depression

enhancing cognitive abilities

aids in weight loss

boosts energy levels

enhances sleep quality

provide anti-aging ingredients 

supports a healthy immune system

promotes overall better health

Consuming a diverse range of foods is the most effective method to obtain the recommended levels of micronutrients. Foods like fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and dairy products contain a variety of micronutrients.  Follow me for several recipes that provide well-balanced nutrition, helping you construct your diet with the right micro and macro nutrients!  Collaborating with a health coach to develop meal plan ideas for healthy eating  is an excellent way to begin!
