#Micronutrient
Food fortification is central to addressing micronutrient deficiencies in West #Africa. Yet, current fortification vehicles (wheat flour, edible oil) have limited reach among target populations, i.e. the inclusion of other vehicles in #fortification programs is warranted… doi.org/10.1038/s430... +
Diversified food fortification portfolios can enhance coverage of micronutrient-vulnerable populations in West Africa - Nature Food
While staple food fortification is a recognized strategy for addressing micronutrient inadequacy, there is limited localized evidence on whether currently fortified foods, as well as candidate staples...

The part most people miss: pushing protein high while cutting calories squeezes the micronutrient budget from both ends, because lean protein foods are deliberately stripped of the vitamins and minerals found in their fattier #caloriedeficit #micronutrients 4/5

The exhaustion, cold hands, and hair loss people blame on the deficit are usually a micronutrient shortfall — and the fix isn't eating more, it's changing what's on the plate. Swap some chicken breast for lean red meat and you gain iron, zinc, and B12 while losing almost nothing on protein. 2/5

Also, as if genetics isn't altered by exogenous environmental factors, stimuli across generations. Sudden increase in average height in both the developed and developing worlds, owing to a protein- and micronutrient-rich diet and hygiene around defecation practices (Science of sanitation), is proof

Stop guessing if you're getting enough vitamins. CalBurndown reads micronutrients straight off nutrition labels as you log your food, showing your daily totals as a percentage of your target. See exactly where your gaps are on day three instead of waiting for symptoms on week ten. 1/2

When GLP-1 medications reduce food intake by 30–50%, you can unknowingly run a micronutrient deficit for months because your nutritional requirements don't scale down with your calories. 2/4

I call shenanigans☝️🤓! In Corvallis I got an enteral nutrition script filled for an IDD client every month for G-tube feeding. Also got a FODMAP "prescription" with IBS.

For real though; codify micronutrient deficiency federally so the GOP going for SNAP/school lunches/food deserts is moot.

👏👏

This really stood out to me because I work as a pediatric CNA with kids who have G-tubes. It’s interesting to see how their GI anatomy and feeding methods can affect their nutrition and micronutrient needs.
@beh353 #beh353
Dr. Vivian Zhao: connect the anatomy with the micronutrient need.

❓Where are you feeding? What portion of the GI tract might be missing?

🧑‍🔬Consider all of this when assessing patients for micronutrient supplementation needs.

Can IV therapy help perimenopausal fatigue, hot flashes, and mood swings — or is that outside its scope? IV therapy doesn't replace hormone therapy, but the link between micronutrient status and symptom severity is well established enough to belong in comprehensive perimenopause care.

nothing says "it can't escape!" like encasing your microbe (that you totally autoclaved first, right?) in a composite of its micronutrient source and discarded carbon, conveniently protecting it from the atmosphere that will like totally kill it, in a facillity dedicated to melting ice
