Micronutrient Deficiencies

Micronutrient deficiencies occur when the body lacks essential vitamins and minerals needed for good health. These nutrients, such as iron, vitamin A, iodine, and zinc, play critical roles in immune function, growth, and development. A deficiency can lead to various health issues, such as weakened immunity, developmental delays in children, or fatigue. Poor diets, certain health conditions, and socioeconomic factors can contribute to these deficiencies. Ensuring a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins helps prevent these deficiencies and promotes overall well-being.
