Six Important Nutrients We Can’t Get from Vegetables or Fruits Adequately
Why do they matter, and how can we address nutritional deficiency
Food is a critical part of our lives. Usually, plant-based diets, including vegetables and fruits, are rich in many vitamins and minerals.
However, plants do not include certain nutrients as they are only found in animal products. Thus, some restricted diets might cause nutritional deficiencies.
In this post, based on my research and experience, I briefly introduce six crucial nutrients that might be lacking in strict plant-based diets.
They are in no particular order. I provide a concise explanation of the importance of these nutrients for our physical and mental health.
To keep the article in a suitable size, I link my previous articles and provide a few links to scientific papers to make researching these nutrients easy for my readers.
I give three customizable diet forms for herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores, focusing on ketosis for health improvement.
The key point about food is nutritional biochemistry rather than diet.
