Introduction
In lab this week, you will learn about micronutrients of concern.
Micronutrients, often referred to as vitamins and minerals, are vital to healthy development, disease prevention, and wellbeing. With the exception of vitamin D, micronutrients are not produced in the body and must be derived from the diet. Though people only need small amounts of micronutrients, consuming the recommended amount is important. Micronutrient deficiencies can have devastating consequences. At least half of children worldwide younger than 5 years of age suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Procedures
The lab activity for this week will occur outside of the lab time. You will use the website/app CronometerLinks to an external site. to track your dietary intake for two, 24-hour periods. The main point of this exercise will be for you to examine your micronutrient levels and where you may be in excess and where you may fall short. Be sure to focus on micronutrients and not macronutrients (i.e., carbohydrates, fat, and protein).
Data
Your lab assignment for this week should include screenshots of your micronutrient intakes and highlighting which micronutrients are in excess and which are inadequate based on scholarly sources.
