What happens when we reduce or stop eating meat? A micronutrient breakdown - Zero Hidden Hunger DFMicronutrient deficiencies, sometimes termed "hidden hunger," are a significant public health concern within the European Union (EU).

🥦 What are the #micronutrient implications of reducing or removing meat from the diet?

#ZeroHiddenHungerEU explores how well-planned plant-forward diets can support micronutrient adequacy during dietary transitions.

Both plant- & animal-based foods can help older adults prevent #Micronutrient deficiencies. 🌱🍳

Including #FortifiedFoods is another effective way to boost key vitamins and minerals.

Here are some examples of foods that support muscle mass and strength later in life. 👇

Foods rich in zinc

The mineral zinc can increase the body's tolerance for sugar.
The main sources of zinc are: oysters, wheat germ, seaweed, flax seeds, liver, low-fat veal.

Plant synthetic biology-based strategies for biofortification: (A) Overview of the vitamin B1 de novo biosynthesis pathway in plants. (B) The strategy of overexpression of endogenous biosynthetic genes. (C) The strategy of introduction of heterologous biosynthetic pathways. (D) The strategy of expression of nutrient-specific transporters. (E) The “suicide” catalytic mechanism of THI1 in higher plants and other eukaryotes, in which its cysteine residue is irreversibly consumed, resulting in enzyme inactivation after a single turnover. (F) The strategy of optimization of transcriptional regulation via transcription factor or promoter engineering. (G) The strategy of protein (directed) evolution.
