VITAMINS AND MINERALS: IMPORTANCE

Dr. Sunitha Basa* and Dr. M. Sudhakar

ABSTRACT

Our body needs certain vitamins and minerals as we hit 40s and beyond. Whether it’s vitamins, minerals, or fibre, it’s best to get them from foods instead of pills. But that can be a challenge for some people, especially if they don’t eat a balanced diet. We are most likely to lack vitamin D, potassium, calcium, or dietary fibre. We can get these from food and also from supplements that will be safe with our meds, diet, and health.

Keywords: Vitamins, minerals, fibre, diet, deficiency, diseases.
