1. Is that where nutrient deficiency comes from?

Food shortages are a huge problem, especially in African countries. Unfortunately, an adequate amount of food does not provide for the supply of all nutrients. Other risk factors include stress, alcohol consumption or age. The main cause of nutritional deficiencies is an improper diet. In Poland, food deficiencies caused by insufficient food supply can occur, e.g. when restrictive, low-calorie reduction diets are used. Consuming large amounts of processed products, avoiding vegetables and fruits or using elimination diets can also be the cause of deficiencies.

2. It's calcium

Calcium ions found in body fluids are involved in the blood clotting process, regulate the production of neurotransmitters, affect muscle contraction and also help digestive enzymes to function properly. This in turn leads to a decrease in bone density and osteoporosis. The need for calcium soybeans for an adult is 1000 mg per intake. In order to prevent shortages, it is best to include protein products in the diet. It is worth drinking mineral water with a high calcium content. Calcium is a building material for bones and teeth. There is no calcium in the body after digestion.

3. The iron

In addition, iron is found in myoglobin and tissue enzymes. Women are particularly at risk of iron deficiency. Too little iron leads to anemia. There are two types of iron in food animal haemic iron and plant-based ferric iron. Good effects on iron absorption are found in vitamin C. The iron content of the selected products is: sesame 17.9 mg/100 g, fatty liver 11.6/100 g; cocoa 10.7 mg/100g; ∙ barley seeds 5.7/100g, ∙ egg yolk 5.4 mg/100 grams; 3 mg/100 mg per day; 2 mg/100 ml per day. This is easier for men than for women.

In animal products such as vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and in plant products like vitamin D2 (ergogliferol), it is responsible for bone mineralization and the proper development of the skeletal system. Vitamin D deficiency results in impaired bone mineralisation, the development of wrinkles in children and osteoporosis in adults. vitamin D is synthesized in the skin under the influence of sunlight. During the period from October to April, when exposure to the sun is sufficient, vitamin D supplementation is recommended.
