Food Fortification: Healing begins on plate

In today’s fast-paced world, not everyone gets balanced nutrition—but food fortification helps bridge that gap. As doctors, we often focus on treatment, but fortified foods are prevention in action. When essentials like iron, iodine, and vitamin D are added to daily staples, we quietly combat anemia, goiter, and rickets—before symptoms even appear. It’s like prescribing health without writing a prescription. Supporting food fortification means empowering communities with invisible nutrients that make a visible difference. After all, real healing often starts long before the first symptom—with what’s on our plate.
