In Germany, an adequate supply of vital substances (micronutrients) is possible through a whole-food diet, taking into account the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung e. V. (DGE).
However, the general availability of a rich, wholesome food supply does not always guarantee a sufficient individual vital substance supply (micronutrients).
An insufficient vital substance supply (micronutrient) 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
by long transport routes and storage, as well as by the kitchen processing – storage, preparation, preparation, frying, grilling, frying, cooking, processing in the microwave, baking.
