Fortifying food with essential nutrients like vitamin A, iodine, iron, and zinc can help combat malnutrition and health issues caused by micronutrient deficiencies. This approach is especially important for vulnerable groups like infants, children, pregnant women, and people in developing countries. By adding these nutrients to staple foods, we can improve the overall health of populations without major changes to their diets or cultures. Food fortification is a practical and effective way to ensure people get the nutrients they need to stay healthy and prevent serious health risks associated with deficiencies.
