Earlier this month, we wrote that one of the best ways to protect yourself from the Coronavirus is to eat healthily. One of the things that a healthy diet includes is foods high in specific micronutrients.<\/p>\n

So what are they? A definition from biochemistry is:<\/p>\n

An essential nutrient, as a trace mineral or vitamin that is required by an organism in minute amounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where to get your Micro-nutrients<\/h4>\n

So where can we get these nutrients? Here is a list of some of the \u201cmost nutrient-dense\u201d foods available. I\u2019m sourcing this from this website –The 11 Most Nutrient-Dense Foods on the Planet –<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0which has lots more detail for you to check on yourself.<\/p>\n

Salmon<\/strong> \u2014 and other fatty types of fish \u2014 contain the greatest amount of omega-3’s fatty acids.<\/p>\n

\"micronutrients<\/a><\/p>\n

Kale<\/strong> – Of all the healthy leafy greens, kale is the king. Contains, among other things, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K1, Vitamin B6 and lots of minerals<\/p>\n

\"micronutrient<\/a>

Kale.<\/p><\/div>\n

Seaweed<\/strong> \u2013 contains high amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium and manganese and various bioactive compounds like carotenoids.<\/p>\n

\"micronutrients<\/a><\/p>\n

Garlic<\/strong> – is high in vitamins C, B1 and B6, calcium, potassium, copper, manganese and selenium and studies have shown it can help lower high blood pressure. Plus it is yummy!<\/p>\n

\"micronutrients<\/a><\/p>\n

Shellfish<\/strong> – are some of the most nutritious animals found in the sea. They are very high in important nutrients like vitamin B12 and zinc.<\/p>\n

\"micronutrients<\/a><\/p>\n

So, that’s the first 5 out of our list of 11. check in with us next week for some more yummy sources of micronutrients. (Hint: one of them is very dark, a little bitter and full of glycine (n\/d), arginine (n\/d) and methionine (n\/d).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
