Understanding the Role of Nutrient Deficiencies
Nutrient deficiencies are often forgotten when it comes to leading a healthier life. We often prioritize exercise, sleep, and stress management. While these aspects are undoubtedly important, there is another critical factor that we often overlook: our nutrient levels.
Nutrients play a fundamental role in supporting our overall well-being, and deficiencies can have a profound impact on our health.
In this blog post, we will delve into the significance of understanding and addressing nutrient deficiencies for optimal health.
Nutrient Deficiencies: The Hidden Culprit
Iodine - Nutrient Spotlight

Iodine is an essential mineral vital for our health. Unfortunately, the human body is unable to produce iodine. Therefore, we must rely on a diet that includes iodine-rich foods, saltwater & sodium chloride to ensure we get the recommended daily amount. A human body can store about 70% - 80% of iodine in the thyroid gland.
According to studies, the daily recommended amount of iodine for adults is 150 mcg. It's vital that we get the daily recommended amount of iodine because it plays a huge part in regulating various bodily functions. The major function of the mineral is to regulate thyroid hormones. It is also important during pregnancy because it helps in fetal development.

Selenium - Nutrient Spotlight

Selenium is a trace mineral (required in small amounts only) vital for our health. We are not able to produce selenium as it is mainly found in soil and water. This means that it's crucial we consume foods that contain the mineral and/or take a supplement.
It plays a major role in numerous body processes including immune system support and thyroid hormones production. Therefore, it isn't surprising that people who suffer from hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) are deficient in selenium, as well as iodine. A healthy thyroid gland is important since it regulates your metabolism and controls growth and development.
A recent study showed.....

That usually, by the time you are deficient in a vitamin or mineral, you are already showing symptoms. Whether the symptom is joint pain, backache, sleeplessness, or low libido, a deficiency is contributing to these.
For example:
A deficiency in vitamin A will cause visual and skin changes. A deficiency in vitamin B12 or iron can cause Anemia. Vitamin D; bone abnormalities.
