Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between macronutrients and micronutrients?
Macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbs) provide energy in large quantities, while micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) regulate metabolic processes.
What is nutrient density in food?
Nutrient density measures the amount of essential vitamins and minerals contained per calorie of a food item.
Why is zinc important for immunity?
Zinc is essential for wound healing, immune system function, and maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails.
Why is it important to monitor vitamin D levels?
Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus balance and maintains healthy bones. Supplementation is recommended during autumn and winter.
What are nutrients and why are they essential?
Nutrients are chemical compounds in food that the body uses for growth, energy generation, and maintaining vital life functions.
What role does iron play in the body?
Iron is essential for oxygen transport in the blood. Its best sources are meat, fish, and legumes paired with vitamin C.
How does vitamin C affect the body?
Vitamin C boosts immunity, supports collagen synthesis, and enhances the absorption of plant-based iron.
How can you increase the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins?
Adding healthy fats (e.g., olive oil, nuts) to meals with fresh vegetables increases the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K.
How does potassium influence blood pressure?
Potassium helps maintain normal blood pressure and balances fluid and electrolyte levels in the body.
Can supplements replace a balanced diet?
