    Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals that are needed by the body in small amounts but have critical impacts on health. Deficiencies can cause severe or life-threatening conditions. Minerals are chemical elements required for essential functions of life, though four - calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium - make up most of the human body. Vitamins include A for growth and development, B for converting food to energy and maintaining health, and C which is an antioxidant. Water intake comes from direct drinking and food, while output is through skin, lungs, and waste. Water is crucial as it transports nutrients throughout the body.
