- Compliments of Vitamins & MineralsThe micronutrients (Vitamins/Minerals) play an important role by ensuring proper functioning of cells and tissues.Each vitamin and trace mineral play a specific role in the body. For example, Vitamin C acts as antioxidant protecting cells from environmental damage, healing wounds and maintaining connective tissue whereas minerals like sodium, potassium and chloride function as electrolytes that assist in communication between cells necessary for nerve impulses and muscle contraction.Some products mimic the nature by adding artificial vitamins or minerals which have an identical form and function to those found in nature, but they are manufactured synthetically to meet extremely high standards of processed products.
- Consuming Empty CaloriesThe Nutritional Science defines Empty Calorie foods as foods that provide calories through either Fats or Carbohydrates.When it comes to high sugar foods like fruit juices, carbonated beverages, jams, marmalades, syrups, an empty calorie product is also referred to as energy dense as all the calories are from carbohydrates which are easily digested, thereby providing instant energy.However, if you do not utilise this energy by engaging in physical activity, it will be converted to fat and add to your waistline.The major disadvantage of frequently consuming empty-calorie foods is that it provides only energy without providing other nutrients required by the body.
