In Germany, an adequate supply of vital substances is possible through a wholesome diet, taking into account the recommendations of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung e.V. (DGE).
However, the general availability of a rich, wholesome food supply does not always guarantee an adequate individual vital substance supply.
An insufficient vital substance supply can be caused by the following factors:
- Industrial food production
Artificial fertilizers, pesticides, factory farming. - Processed food
Heating, freezing, drying, canning, irradiation, blanching, refining, additives, impurities. - Vital substance losses of food due to long transport routes and storage, as well as kitchen processing – storage, preparation, preparation, frying, grilling, frying, cooking, processing in the microwave, baking.
