As tough and resilient as our bodies may seem to us going about our day, the truth is our bodies require a lot of upkeep in order to remain in perfect functioning condition. What you eat plays a major role in your ability to perform the necessary tasks and functions of your day-to-day life. Many people don’t get the proper nutrition and suffer from consequences ranging from exhaustion and sluggishness to anemia, increased risk of chronic illness and disease, and generally unwellness. Here are three crucial nutrients that you might not be getting enough of and how you can get more.

Iron

The first crucian nutrient that you might not be getting enough of is iron. Iron deficiency is a very common nutrient deficiency, particularly amongst vegans and vegetarians. This is because red meat is one of the most plentiful sources of dietary iron, and vegans and vegetarians must find iron outside of red meat. Iron deficiency can cause all sorts of issues, from irritability and tiredness, to impaired cognitive function and worse sleep. Leafy greens are a great source of iron as well as lentils, beans, and peas in addition to red meat for carnivores.

Fiber

Another crucial nutrient that too many people do not get enough of is fiber. Fiber is one of the most important nutrients that impacts your digestive health. Your digestive tract is full of bacteria and microorganisms that use plant fiber as food. Plant fibers are the parts of plants that our bodies cannot digest on our own, but they are the fuel for the trillions of microscopic lives in our guts that perform essential functions like hormone regulation and immune health functions. The common contents of salad – including lettuce, seeds and beans – help improve your digestive health.

Vitamin C

We covered a mineral and a different type of nutrient, and now we are rounding out the list with vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the most popular vitamins out there, and yet many people don’t get enough of it in their daily diet. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which can help protect your body against inflammation and chronic disease. Vitamin C also has some benefits for blood pressure and can reduce your risk of heart disease. You are what you eat, and what you choose not to eat is just as important as what you do. Thousands of people go about their days unaware that they are low in crucial nutrients. Make sure that your diet incorporates these three commonly under consumed nutrients to maximize your health.
