Micronutrients, or the vitamins and minerals your body needs, typically work like a team. To illustrate this point, let\u2019s look at some collaborative examples you see in everyday life.<\/p>\n
Have you ever been part of a group or community where everyone works together while carrying out their specific roles? Maybe you have been on an athletic team or part of a community organization. Or, perhaps you’ve participated in a group project at work.<\/p>\n
When everyone executes their role consistently, things move smoothly. Your team wins the game. You are surrounded by a community that makes you feel safe and welcome. Or, you and your co-workers get the well-deserved promotion.<\/p>\n
However, you\u2019ve probably also been on a team where things didn\u2019t<\/em> go as planned. Maybe the roles were not explained well enough. Or, someone didn’t show up to do their part. Depending on the degree of disorganization, the task at hand may be able to still be recovered. Unfortunately, if the disorganization is severe enough, the task at hand may suffer irreversible damage and have negative consequences.<\/p>\n Micronutrients work in a similar fashion. Vitamins and minerals play many important roles in our body\u2019s overall health and function. When they’re each present in their unique optimal levels, the body is in a prime position for longevity, health, and wellness.<\/p>\n However, when a deficiency of one or more of these vitamins and minerals is present, negative health outcomes can occur. These might range from acute symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and declining cognitive function, all the way to increasing chronic disease risk over a longer period of deficiency.<\/p>\nHow Micronutrients Work in the Human Body<\/h2>\n
