As an adult, there are certain vitamins and minerals that your body needs to keep functioning correctly. When your body has everything it requires, you will live a longer, happier, and healthier life. While eating a balanced diet can go a long way towards getting the necessary nutrients, the average adult should be supplementing their healthy diet with certain vitamins. Here are just a few of the most important.
Multivitamins
It may seem like cheating by including a multivitamin, but it is a crucial choice. A multivitamin is the best way to get a wide range of vitamins and minerals that you need to be taking regularly in a single, convenient dose. The multivitamin will help you optimize cellular functioning, ensuring your systems work at their peak levels throughout the entire day.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is technically a pre-hormone as opposed to a vitamin and it helps produce disease-preventing enzymes and proteins. It actually affects over 2,000 genes in your body. This vitamin also has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects, builds bone, enhances your immune system, and boost muscle strength. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to get sufficient vitamin D from diet alone, so you need to take a supplement.
Fish Oil
Any doctor or medical professional will tell you to take a fish oil supplement every day. These contain EPA and DHA, essential omega-3 fatty acids crucial to your health. These fatty acids help your body protect itself against inflammation and prevent chronic diseases. Their long list of benefits also include a better immune system; improving nutrient absorption; boosting metabolism; enhancing memory, mood, and attention; strengthening your nails, skin, and hair; and improving vision, joint, and cardiovascular health. Since your body can’t produce omega-3 fatty acids, you need to get them from diet or daily vitamins.
Magnesium
Most adults don’t get enough magnesium in their diets and without enough of this nutrient, you may experience weakness, fatigue, or mild nausea. Taking a magnesium supplement should help you control your blood sugar and improve nerve and muscle functioning.
