The micronutrients (Vitamins/Minerals) play an important role by ensuring proper functioning of cells and tissues. 

 

Each vitamin and trace mineral play a specific role in the body. For example,  Vitamin C acts as antioxidant protecting cells from environmental damage, healing wounds and maintaining connective tissue whereas minerals like sodium, potassium and chloride function as electrolytes that assist in communication between cells necessary for nerve impulses and muscle contraction. 

 

Some products mimic the nature by adding artificial vitamins or minerals  which have an identical form and function to those found in nature, but they are manufactured synthetically to meet extremely high standards of processed products.

Protein is the main ingredient of structural and functional component of body. It plays a key role in our body as building blocks for  muscles, cartilage, skin, bones and blood. They are also building blocks for enzymes, hormones, and vitamins.

Foods that we regularly consume are low in Protein so eating food products which get more than 20% of its energy from Protein is good to include in your meal to ensure enough Proteins in a day.
