Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals which play a crucial part in our diet. These nutrients are required for healthy growth, development, metabolism, and physiologic functions. All these nutrients have been provided from a variety of foods. Dr. Eileen Canday, HOD, Nutrition at Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital says, “Water soluble vitamins include Vitamin B and Vitamin C. These vitamins disintegrate in water and need to be consumed in recommended amounts as a part of the daily diet Toxicity of these vitamins is rare since excess amounts are flushed out through urine for a healthy individual. They aid in essential biological processes for energy production and antioxidant activities. These nutrients can be obtained from oranges, amla, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, millets.“
