Deep dives
Importance of Maximized Nutrient Density
Maximizing nutrient density is crucial because the body requires over 40 micronutrients for optimal function. When nutrient needs are not met, there is a gradual decline in function, leading to chronic diseases. Common deficiencies include potassium, vitamin D, choline, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Additionally, phytonutrients and plant compounds are important for optimal health. Dietary patterns, changes in soil quality, chronic diseases, and the toxic burden contribute to nutrient deficiencies.
