A high percentage of boys and men today suffer from a lack of at least one important vitamin or nutrient.
This deficiency is mainly attributed to a poor diet with few fruits and vegetables. Studies show that at least 77 percent of men do not get enough magnesium, vitamin D or B12.
In this AgroWeb.org article you will learn about the most important vitamins and minerals that boys and men need.
Vitamin D3
Men need vitamin D3 for testosterone production, bones, brain health, mood swings, cholesterol and blood pressure. Men who don’t get enough vitamin D3 are 80 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack.
This vitamin is obtained from exposure to the sun but also from eggs, some dairy products and mushrooms
Vitamin B12
Lack of this vitamin can cause sluggishness and nervous problems. Vitamin B12 is obtained from animal proteins, in particular from lamb, beef and salmon.
Vitamins A, C and E
These vitamins with the power of antioxidants cannot be produced by the body but are obtained through foods such as spinach and other wild herbs.
With age, these vitamins prevent cell mutation, protect vision, immunity and strengthen health.
Vitamin K
According to AgroWeb.org, vitamin K is important for bones, blood and heart disease prevention. The lack of this vitamin is more noticeable in men who do not regularly consume vegetables or dairy products.
Vitamin K is found in green vegetables and dairy products.
magnesia
This mineral is essential in preventing high blood pressure, muscle contractions, headaches and heart disease. Magnesium deficiency directly affects sleep and causes anxiety and constipation.
It is found in oats, spinach, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, avocados.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are important because they fight inflammation in the body. They are found in salmon, sardines, tuna, eggs, nuts and seeds.
The human body needs the right balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to protect the heart, brain and immunity.
potassium
The low level of potassium in a man’s body increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Such a deficiency weakens bones, slows metabolism, weakens digestion and muscles.
You can find potassium in beans, avocados, sweet potatoes, bananas and salmon.
