8 Essential Nutrients Your Body Uses Every Single Day 🥕

Your body depends on dozens of nutrients every day, and each one has a very different job behind the scenes. Vitamin A supports normal vision, skin and immune function. It is especially important for helping your eyes adapt to low light. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. Vitamin B1, also called thiamine, helps convert carbohydrates into usable energy and supports normal nerve function. Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, is also involved in energy production and cellular metabolism. Vitamin B6 supports nervous system function, neurotransmitter production and protein metabolism. Folate, or vitamin B9, is essential for DNA production, cell division and normal red blood cell formation. Calcium does much more than strengthen bones and teeth. Your muscles, nerves and heart also depend on tightly controlled calcium levels. Potassium helps regulate fluid balance, nerve signals and muscle contractions, including the normal electrical activity of the heart. The goal is not to obsess over one nutrient. A varied diet built around vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains, dairy or fortified alternatives, nuts, seeds and quality protein usually covers many nutrients at once.
