Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are required in larger quantities, hence, they are called macronutrients. Minerals and vitamins are required in minute quantities and are called micronutrients. Minerals such as iron, sodium, calcium, phosphorous, etc. are required for many tasks; from building strong bones to transmitting nerve impulses. Vitamins are needed as they help to support the bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into energy and repair cellular damage.
