What you eat and drink, as well as how much sunlight you get on your skin, all affect your micronutrient levels – and in turn the health of your body and mind.
So, what is a micronutrient? A micronutrient is a nutrient that your body needs in small quantities.
They include vitamins, such as vitamins A and D, and minerals, such as iron and calcium. Getting them into your body via what you eat and drink – except for vitamin D, which your skin can produce when the sun shines on it – is essential for health and wellbeing.
