How Micronutrieints Effect Weight Loss

              How Micronutrients Effect Weight Loss
  • When given the proper tools, it is easier to maintain proper health, including weight management. When you are healthy and your body has all the tools necessary to function properly, your workouts will be more effective.
    Some micro nutrients are closely involved in specific body functions related to weight management. For example, Vitamins B1, B5, and B6 aid in metabolism, while Chromium aid in insulin action, and Selenium and Iodine contribute to thyroid hormone function. Metabolism, insulin and thyroid hormones can all have an effect on body weight and appetite.

·         LACK OF MICRO-NUTRIENTS AND CANCER RISKS

But, again results were nor very conclusive. The JACKPOT was found out when OBESITY has been looked at. Another Researcher, Bruce Ames, from Oakland Research Institute, has put forward a new theory: the lack of micro-nutrients, like iron, magnesium, zinc and other vitamins. In some cases, the lack of these is very important, even in USA. For example, 56% of American Adults are lacking magnesium, and 92% lack Vitamin A. Even if the magnitude of the deficiency is small, it is increasing cancer risk. When the body is lacking small quantity of micro-nutrients, it uses them first for vital functions and the short term survival. Other functions, like the cell damage repairs are put aside.
