Micronutrients, often referred to as vitamins and minerals, and amino acids are vital to healthy development, growth, disease prevention, and well-being. These are needed in small amounts, but is critical for good health. Deficiencies can cause severe conditions and reduced energy,” he explains adding that during festivals like Navratri upvas (fasting), consuming fruits and vegetables is recommended to support one’s body’s natural detoxification processes. “Pollution is another demon. Studies indicate that in cities like Delhi, when you step out and breathe the heavily-polluted air it is as toxic as smoking six cigarettes.”A physician recommended micronutrient-rich diet is a good way to begin. This can be achieved by including diverse vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and lean meats on the diet. “Micro minerals like selenium and molybdenum are essential for an array of antioxidant and physiological functions,” he says.
