Balanced diet and nutrients, why am I deficient in nutrients if my diet is balanced.

Balanced diet and nutrients:

FACTORS THAT AFFECT HOW NUTRIENTS ARE ABSORBED INTO YOUR BLOOD :

We all need food to stay alive and to provide our bodies with the resources they need to function properly. The main functions include the growth, making new body cells, repair, and maintenance of older cells or injuries, fighting against germs or infections, and running all the systems of the body like the neural system, digestion, respiration, enzyme activity, etc. 

The elements that affect how well your food or nutrients are absorbed into your blood and reach all of your body cells to produce energy or manufacture necessary proteins, etc. are listed below.

1. How you blend different foods, such as taking in different minerals.

2. Consumption of some beverages that contain tannins.

3. How effectively and healthily your gut lining absorbs nutrients.

4. Age

5. How much do we consume?

All the factors mentioned above are important to determine if your food is being absorbed into your bloodstream. 

1. One research study shows that if iron is consumed with a calcium-rich diet, it may not let iron absorb well into your bloodstream.

if we talk about calcium absorption, it is enhanced in the presence of Vitamin D  similarly absorption of iron depends on the presence of vitamin C . so There is a need to determine the best combination of diet. So it is recommended to follow the dietician;'s diet plans correctly if you yourself are not well aware of all the good combinations of food. 

Tannins 

2.  Tannins and caffeine in your tea or coffee can interfere with the absorption of many Vitamins, proteins, and iron into your body affecting your health and fitness.

It is recommended to take in tea after at least one hour you had your meal so that all minerals and vitamins are absorbed into the bloodstream.

Age 

3.  Age can be a factor, as food digestion and nutrient absorption depend on the function of various enzymes and cofactors.  with age, the body cells get older and are no longer efficient in their job. the gut lining may not absorb the nutrients effectively. 

Probiotics 

4.  Healthy gut with a lot of healthy bacteria leads to healthy digestion. Yogurt, cheese, and yesterday’s bread that is slightly changed in its texture is the source of beneficial bacteria, on the other hand, Sugar promotes the growth of bad bacteria and disrupts the balance between the population of good and bad bacteria in your gut.

Eating in small portions 

5.  Eating more than your hunger also leads to less absorption of nutrients. Most of what you eat is not crushed adequately by your stomach so dietary nutrients are not able to release and absorb into the bloodstream.  

if you are struggling with nutritional deficiency, along with healthy eating, you should have supplements in your diet.
