Well put. Differently to how I'd put it.
FAO All you Clever S**tes
So you know what Macro-nutrients are ...
Carbs 🥔🥖🥪
Fats 🍫🧀🥑
Protein 🍗🥩🍖
But do you know what the fk Micro-nutrients are ? 🤨
🎓 Basically Micronutrients are the Vitamins and Minerals your body needs to complete hundreds of boring s**t no one gives a f**k about. The body cannot create these it’s self so it must source them from food! To put it simple they keep your health in check and basically stop you looking like a fking weapon 🧟♀️
That’s why if you eat a load of s**te 🍪🍭🍩 all the time then you will lack these nutrients and most likely become unwell and moan like f**k and do everyones head in 🙄
Remember there is noo good or bad food. Food either contains Nutrients or it does not.
For example ....
Motherfking Pop Tart - ( thought as unhealthy )
200 calories , contains zero nutrients, but it’s not Bad for you. It contains carbs, fat, protein that your body can utlilse towards energy production.
Seshy Sweet Potato 🍠( thought of as healthy )
200 calories, classed as a super food as it contains a boat load of Micros, it’s very nutrient dense.
Both contain, calories, carbs, fat, protein, just one is rich in nutrients 🥗 where the other has fk all 🤷🏻♂️. This is why we should not demonise food. As no food is unhealthy.
If you still give a s**te about this I’ll delve deeper here and break things down for you
Vitamins do the following in your body...
🦴 Build Bones
👀 Protect Vision
🦷 Teeth Health
🌡 Blood Vessels
🤲🏻 Skin Health
💩 S**t loads of other stuff I cannot be arsed to type out, because no one really gives a s**te
Vitamins are split up into two categories which are water Soluble and Fat Soluble
💧 Water Soluble Vitamins
These little f**kers are found in the water pockets of your food you eat and are absorbed straight into the bloodstream. Because they are water based you need to make sure you stay on top of them as they f**k off real fast, just like your attention span to this post 🤣
Here is a list you wont care about but I’ll show you for the craic.
B vitamins ( water soluble )
Biotin (vitamin B7)
Folic acid (folate, vitamin B9)
Niacin (vitamin B3)
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5
Riboflavin (vitamin B2)
Thiamin (vitamin B1)
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B12
Vitamin C (water soluble )
🥑 Fat Soluble Vitamins
These buggers are absorbed differently... through the gut wall, and eventually absorbed into the bloodstream. This is where your liver can sesh them about as and when you need them. Unlike water soluble vitamins you can top these bad boys up every now and then. It’s important not to smash too many of them or they can turn toxic and you’ll go back to looking Fking disgusting again.
Again, another list no one cares about but here are your fat soluble vits
Vitamin A
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Vitamin K
Minerals do the following in the body ...
🧂 Sodium Balance
💧 Water Balance
🦴 Healthy Bones
💅🏻 Healthy Nails
And loads of other s**te like your skin n stuff. Honestly just imagine a load of important s**t
Minerals are split up into two categories , which are major minerals, and trace Minerals
Major Minerals
Your body can store a s**t load of these, there not any more important than trace minerals, theres just a fk ton more of them kicking about. The roll of these vitamins is to bring balance to the body.
Again another list of them, but honestly god help you if you’re still reading by this point 🤣
Calcium
Chloride
Magnesium
Phosphorus
Potassium
Sodium
Sulfur
Trace Minerals - there are tiny amounts of these stored in your body, but they play just as important roll, blood clots, smell, taste, oxygen, loads of important s**t cannot be fkd on to list them all. Fking google them.
Last list, i promise ( trace minerals )
Chromium
Copper
Fluoride
Iodine
Iron
Manganese
Molybdenum
Selenium
Zinc
So the bottom line. All the nutrient dense food you eat, like veggies, fruit, protein, legumes, healthy fats, grains all contain that b0llocks above. If you don’t eat that s**t then you will miss out on all the important craic it does.
So we have a rule ....
Out of the calories you consume or we set you.... you need to make sure atleast 80% contains all that seshy stuff from above.
The other 20% you can spend on s**te like 🍪🍩🍫🍬🍭
There aint no nutrients in the s**te but you only need so much, you can’t be super healthy... so why not enjoy a few of your favourite treats aslong as you’re ticking all the above boxes.
Finally this post has took me so fking LONG to type, I honestly wish I never. So I’d be grateful if you could be arsed to move your finger one fking cm ( i mean i dont want to trouble you to too much effort) and click thr sh@re button 🙊
