Busy modern people have problems with unbalanced nutritional intake due to Westernized diets and an increasing proportion of eating out every year. In particular, "micronutrients" are one of the essential nutrients for humans, which cannot be fully synthesized by the human body and need to be obtained through dietary supplements. However, insufficient or excessive supplementation may have the opposite effect! According to statistics from the Health Management Center of Chi Mei Medical Center, it is worth noting that people may take excessive vitamin B supplements. According to statistics from the Health Management Center of Chi Mei Medical Center, people are deficient in vitamins A, C, and D, but may take excessive amounts of vitamin B supplements. According to more than 1,000 records of public data compiled by Chi Mei Medical Center from August 2019 to January 2020, 5.3% of the public are deficient in vitamin C and 8.7% are deficient in vitamin A. However, on the contrary, the proportion of vitamin B group exceeding the reference value is relatively high, which means that the public may be over-supplementing. Insufficient intake of "micronutrients" in the body can easily lead to metabolic disorders Liu Ruzhen, deputy director of the Health Management Center of Chi Mei Medical Center, said that "micronutrients" is a general term for vitamins and trace elements. It is one of the essential nutrients for humans and is affected by health conditions such as age, stress, and pregnancy. Vitamins and minerals in the body are involved in enzyme synthesis and metabolic activity. If they are not taken in enough, metabolic disorders are likely to occur. Many studies have also pointed out that vitamin deficiency is related to cancer, chronic diseases, and autoimmune diseases, and is closely related to the incubation period of many types of diseases. Chi Mei Medical Center provides "micronutrient" testing and found that more than 60% of people are deficient in vitamin D In order to help the public understand whether the "micronutrients" they consume are balanced, Chi Mei Medical Center has actively promoted micronutrient testing after establishing a precision medicine laboratory in 2017, providing "micronutrient" testing for 9 vitamins and 11 trace elements. Wu Liqing, senior specialist in clinical pathology at the Pathology Center of Chi Mei Medical Center, said that Chi Mei Medical Center's statistics on more than 30,000 micronutrient test data from August 2012 to December 2019 showed that as many as 61% of the public were deficient in vitamin D, of which nearly 80% were between the ages of 31 and 60. People who underwent "micronutrient" testing were not only able to understand the state of the microenvironment in their bodies, but after receiving professional health education advice from medical staff, 41% of the public had a significant increase in vitamin D and improved physical fitness. "Micronutrients" is a general term for vitamins and trace elements, which are one of the essential nutrients for humans.
