MACROS VERSUS MICROS: tHE NUTRIENT BREAKDOWN

WE NEED THEM ALL, BUT WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?

Macronutrients: Protein, Fats and Carbohydrates

Micronutrients: Vitamins, Minerals and Phytonutrients and Organic Acids

In the grand scheme of it all, we need a little bit of everything to function properly. On a day to day basis, it is important to be mindful of your macronutrient intake, as carbohydrates, proteins and fats compose the bigger picture of health and balance.

Our macros are comprised of our micros; micronutrients enable our body to produce what is required to live healthily. There are some micronutrients that everyone requires and some that are more person-specific. Evaluating your nutrition and lifestyle will help you determine what foods will provide you with adequate fuel to enhance your physiology and reduce the likelihood of developing harmful and problematic symptoms. Evaluating nutritional requirements in a holistic way can greatly enhance your quality of life! Following strict nutrient protocols can be a risky endeavor as we all have a unique composition. Do what’s best for YOU.
