Micronutrients the Protective Foods

Micronutrient deficiencies, most notably vitamin A, zinc, iodine and iron deficiencies are a major public health problem globally, with low income countries in Africa and Asia carrying the highest burden of disease. Young children and pregnant and breastfeeding women are the main groups affected, because their requirements for micronutrients are higher and the impact of deficiency more severe than in other population subgroups.
