To describe:
The various acute, and chronic disease states and conditions that may lead to various imbalances in vitamin and mineral levels.
Introduction:
The human body needs vital building blocks to develop and sustain itself. The proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and fats are the providers for these building blocks. Essential nutrients for life are referred to as vitamins and minerals. Proper intake of nutrient-rich meals (balanced) and fluids satisfy the daily needs of vitamins and minerals. This will ultimately help to offer enzymes, hormones, and chemicals, maintain intestinal structures and inhibit the bacterial outgrowth. Inadequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in the human body leads to diseases such as goiter, anemia, impaired vision, and tooth and bone decay.
