What are micro and macro nutrients

Micronutrients are nutrients that the body needs in smaller amounts to function properly. These include vitamins (such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin D) and minerals (such as iron, calcium, and magnesium).

Macronutrients, on the other hand, are nutrients that the body needs in larger amounts for energy and building blocks for growth, repair, and maintenance. These include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Macronutrients are the main sources of energy for the body and are needed in larger quantities compared to micronutrients.
