Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adequate mineral status is primarily a result of consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods, some of which may be fortified with essential minerals. While protein-rich foods can contain minerals, a diet consisting mostly of these foods is not necessarily balanced or healthy for overall mineral status. Consuming primarily non-meat foods may not necessarily ensure adequate mineral status, as minerals can be found in both plant-based and animal-based foods. While mineral and vitamin supplements can contribute to overall mineral status, they are not the primary reflection of adequate mineral status.
