Autumn time and your health

Many people these days try to eat healthily. But they don't always do it right.

They mainly think about limiting fats and sugars, which is important.

At the same time, it is also necessary to provide the body with important nutrients and other substances.

During this autumn period sufficient vitamins and minerals are extremely important. They strengthen immunity, improve sleep quality and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is good to provide the body with the missing substances through food supplements. What to focus on?

The basis is magnesium. Most people don't get enough of it from their diet. It is responsible for proper muscle function, nerve impulse conduction, DNA stabilization, and good sleep. However, to get the necessary amount, which is set at 300 to 420 mg for an adult, you would have to eat, for example, less than a kilo of brown rice, three and a half kilos of apricots, or 136 g of almonds every day. And that is beyond human ability. Therefore, supplement it by drinking mineral water with magnesium content.

Another element that is generally lacked is calcium. This mineral is a key component of our bones and teeth. If its level in the bloodstream is disrupted, the body begins to release it from the bones, causing them to thin. Vegans and people with lactose intolerance should be especially vigilant, as they do not have enough dairy products in their diet, which are the main source of this nutrient.

Copper is also very important. People often underestimate it. More and more studies show that copper plays a crucial role in minimizing the manifestations of risks associated with, for example, diabetes or heart disease.

In addition, it also participates in the formation of collagen and is essential for the healthy appearance of the skin.

It occurs naturally in sunflower seeds, cashew nuts, and less popular ingredients such as offal. You can also indulge in seafood.

However, it is recommended to take all of the above-mentioned elements in the form of food supplements.
