Nutrient Requirements

Nutrient requirements refer to the specific amounts of nutrients—like vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbs, and fats—that our bodies need to function properly. These needs vary based on age, gender, activity level, and health status. Meeting these requirements supports growth, energy, immune function, and overall well-being. Consuming a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods helps ensure you get the right amounts of essential nutrients to stay healthy and prevent deficiencies or illnesses.
