Am I At The Risk For Micronutrient Deficiencies?

Micronutrients—vitamins and minerals—are essential for maintaining good health, even though they are required in small amounts. They play a key role in energy production, immune function, brain health, and overall well-being. A deficiency in these nutrients can lead to fatigue, weakened immunity, brittle bones, poor concentration, and even long-term health complications. Certain groups are more vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies, including pregnant women, the elderly, individuals with medical conditions affecting nutrient absorption, and those following restrictive diets such as vegan, keto, or highly processed food diets. Lifestyle factors like stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, and poor dietary habits can also contribute to deficiencies. The best way to prevent micronutrient deficiencies is to maintain a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. Regular health check-ups and nutritional assessments can help detect deficiencies early. Take this quick assessment to evaluate your dietary habits and identify potential gaps in your micronutrient intake.
