Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients, which come from many food sources.
There are 28 vitamins and minerals, which are essential for your health and wellbeing (WHO, 2021). Every vitamin and mineral plays a role in the normal function of our bodies to keep them healthy. The recommended amount of vitamins and minerals to consume each day depends on your age, gender and life stage (EFSA, 2017). We can obtain vitamins and minerals from many different food sources – especially fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.
Globally, populations are consuming more nutrient-poor foods, high in calories, sugar and fat, that often replace healthier foods (Vasileska & Rechkoska, 2012) and very few populations around the world meet the recommended intakes of fruit and vegetables (WHO, 2003). Habits like skipping meals reduce intakes of key nutrients including calcium, iron and vitamin D (Barton et al., 2005; Zeballos & Todd, 2020). Getting too little of certain vitamins and minerals over a long period of time can result in deficiencies and increase the risk of disease (WHO, 2021).
