According to The Lancet Global Health in 185 countries, 67 percent of the world’s population does not receive significant amounts of vitamins and minerals such as iodine, calcium, iron. Vitamin deficiencies, immune system weakness, fatigueIntegral health and functional nutritionist Melike Serengil Özçelik, who stated that it may cause many health problems such as focus problems and chronic diseases, drew attention to the causes and symptoms of these deficiencies. Özçelik emphasized that vitamins and mineral deficiencies may be under the health problems faced by many people today.
“Today, fatigue, focus problems have increased”
Public Health and Functional Nutrition AmericaMelike Serengil Özçelik, who works at the work, said, “Many people are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, low immunity, focus problems and chronic disorders, while one of the reasons underlying this can be vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Damage to the use of chemical fertilizer
Melike Serengil Özçelik, who is about to complete the master’s degree in ‘Public Health and Functional Nutrition’ at the University of Everglades, said, “Today, millions of people are experiencing vitamins and minerals without realizing it. One of the main reasons for this situation is the reduction of nutritional value in the soil. He reduced his ratio. ”
“Modern agriculture reduced minerals in the soil”
Özçelik, “Mineral ratios in our lands due to modern agricultural techniques decreased. According to a study published in the American College of Nutrition Magazine, the protein in the soil between 1950-2000, calcium 16 percent, calcium 15 percent, vitamin 15 percent of the vitamin B2 and 15 percent of the vitamin C.
“There are hundreds of trillion microorganisms that manage the absorption of nutrients in the body”
Özçelik pointed out that the spread of processed foods is also an important factor and said, “Fastfood, packaged foods and sugary drinks do not include the basic nutrients that the body needs, as well as negatively affect the absorption of food. Factors such as deterioration of intestinal health, inadequacy of stomach acid and digestive enzymes are also causing vitamins and miniral deficiencies. Not only what we eat, it is not only the absorption of vitamins and minerals in the body.
“Fast and stressful tempo can prevent food absorption”
“Ozcelik,” The imbalance of the intestinal flora can prevent the absorption of vital foods such as vitamin B12 and iron. The fast and stressful tempo of modern life triggers this situation. Chronic stress causes rapid consumption of basic nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin B and C. Although experts say that at least 7-9 servings of vegetables and fruits should be consumed per day, many people cannot achieve this goal. Therefore, we should pay attention not only to what we eat, but also how these nutrients are processed in the body and our lifestyle. ”
“Try to meet vitamins and mineral deficiencies from natural foods”
Özçelik, “If enough vitamins and minerals are taken to the body through nutrition, many health problems can be prevented. However, the fact that foods do not have enough content, the use of reinforcement due to intense life pace and environmental factors can become a necessity. The need for a different reinforcement should be made by a specialist and the reinforcement of the product. It is necessary to ensure that it does not contain substances or artificial sweeteners and that freshness and production quality are controlled. ”
