Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: Micronutrients are nutrients that are needed in incredibly small quantities for maintaining proper health. In children, these nutrients may be exceptionally important for growth and proper physiological development. This paper has discussed the lack of proper attention given to micronutrient deficiency in growing children caused by an insufficient intake of minerals, B vitamins and essential amino acids, which the body cannot make. Whilst the issue of iodine and vitamin A deficiency in children has been disseminated to the mainstream, the same has not been done for other important micronutrients. This a discussion and recommendation paper that has attempted to lay out the importance of launching a revamped national enlightenment and action programme to address not only persistent Vitamin A deficiency, but also the much less talked about and operationalized minerals, B Vitamins and essential amino acids. Keywords:Micronutrients, health, minerals, B vitamins.
