Five ways to prevent nutritional deficiencies 

In today’s fast-paced world, all of us fail to manage time effectively and are forced to consume foods that are easily available but are less healthy. Our poor health is therefore a result of poor dietary patterns. Our diets lack the right nutrients as our body is filled with trans fats and other things it does not need. All of us know that our body needs a proper diet and regular exercise for optimal health, but if you are leaving out the key ingredients in your foods, like magnesium or iron, you may face a nutritional deficiency. Increasing the intake of such vitamins and minerals is not so easy, but you can start consuming more fruits and vegetables to balance it out.
