Nutritional deficiencies

These weeks I have been studying for my exam, which I consider important to emphasize the role of vitamins and minerals in nutrition.

Nutritional deficiencies are the result of your body not getting enough of the nutrients it needs, mainly those from fruits and vegetables (they're rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and water that are important for development and preventing disease).

The lack of these nutrients our body manifests different signs and symptoms like problems of digestion, skin problems, damage to major organs and even neurological problems, that make our body doesn't look good. Children are more at risk for complications than adults.
