What Causes: Micronutrient Deficiency
Micronutrient deficiency can be caused by consuming a diet that is low in nutrients. For instance, the Western diet typically involves many more processed foods and less fresh fruit and vegetables than other diets such as those consumed in the Mediterranean. This can lead to a high calorie intake that is low in nutritional value. However, it is not just your diet that can affect your body’s ability to absorb micronutrients. It can also be affected by -
• Chronic health conditions
• Certain medication
• Altered nutrient metabolism
• Acute health conditions
