- 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.

- High in Good FatGood Fat ! Yes that's correct, Fat is not all bad. The Unsaturated Fat is also referred to as the Healthier Fat as it is source of essential fats (Omega 3 & Omega 6).

The higher the share these types have in the Total Fat or Lipid the better is the product. This does not mean that you should have more of a product just because it is high in Unsaturated Fats. While selecting a food product prefer the one with energy from Fat not be more 30% of total energy available in the product and there is more of the unsaturated fats.

The higher the number of additives greater is the degree of processing. Additives can be identified by looking for ingredients that begin with 'E' and have a number in them.It is generally recommended that food that is closer to nature is better hence it is better to choose food products with lesser number of additives.
