Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals which are essential for body processes, unlike macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats which provide energy.
Proteins are crucial for building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium which is crucial for bone health and preventing conditions like osteoporosis.
Dietary fiber helps to maintain bowel health, control blood sugar levels, and lower cholesterol levels.
Saturated fats like those found in butter come from animal sources and can raise the risk of heart disease when consumed in excess.
Nutrition guidelines typically recommend at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day for optimal health.
Iron is crucial for the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce inflammation and are vital for heart health.
Staying properly hydrated with water helps regulate body temperature, maintain skin health, and keep bodily function processes running smoothly without adding calories.
Glucose, a simple sugar derived from carbohydrates, is the primary energy source for brain function and cognitive processes.
