in the realm of nutrition, many unexpressed needs may slip by unnoticed, hidden beneath the surface of our daily diets. before the pre-institutional understanding of dietary science, many vital nutrients were overlooked, not covered by any statute or guideline. nowadays, we're learning to redeploy our focus towards these essential, though previously unacknowledged, components of our meals, ensuring a healthier, more balanced approach to what we eat. this shift illustrates the positive evolution in our understanding of nutrition, highlighting the importance of recognizing and addressing the unexpressed but crucial dietary needs for overall well-being.
