Abstract
Nutrition science is a relatively young discipline, yet our understanding of how diet impactshealth, wellbeing, and performance has grown significantly over the past century. Despite thissurge in research and heightened public awareness, many modern diets in developed nationsare falling short in key micronutrients such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, and folic acid (1). Thesetrends are driven by a range of factors, including rising consumption of ultra-processed foods(UPFs), declining nutrient density in produce, reduced sunlight exposure, and chronic stress.
