Improving Your Health: How Essential Vitamins and Supplements Fit into Your Daily Routine

Our bodies are temples that require daily rituals to achieve optimal health. This article delves into the importance of vitamins and food supplements in reaching this state, detailing the nutrients our body needs and how they can be obtained through diet or supplements.

What is Optimal Health?

Optimal health is a state where all elements of our body are functioning at their best. It includes:

Regular Exercise: Physical activity that keeps the body in physical shape and boosts our immune system. PMA - Positive Mental Attitude: Mental and emotional well-being, which can be achieved through stress management and positive thinking. Adequate Rest: Sufficient sleep and rest to ensure the body can recover and function properly. Nutrients from Food: A balanced diet that provides the necessary vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats for optimal health.

Everyday, our body requires approximately 300 to 350 different ingredients for optimal health. But can the body produce all of them on its own?

The Body’s Nutrient Needs

Although the body can produce some nutrients, others must be obtained from the diet. About 80 to 90 out of the 300 necessary nutrients need to be fed to the body daily. Regular intake of these nutrients is crucial to maintaining overall health.

Macro Nutrients vs. Micro Nutrients

Nutrients can be divided into two categories: macro nutrients and micro nutrients.

Macro Nutrients

Protein Carbohydrates Fats

Macro nutrients are essential for survival and provide the body with energy. Foods rich in these nutrients include:

Protein: Foods such as lean meats, fish, and legumes. Carbohydrates: Whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Fats: Sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil.

Micro Nutrients

Vitamins Minerals

Micro nutrients are necessary in very small quantities but play a vital role in our overall well-being. These include vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc.

Filling the Nutrient Gap

Even though a balanced diet provides most of these nutrients, there can still be a gap in our intake. This is where supplements can help.

Protein is crucial for building and repairing tissues. It consists of essential and non-essential amino acids, nine of which must be obtained from the diet, and thirteen that the body can produce.

Fats are made of triglycerides and are classified into two types:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-6 Fatty Acids

These essential fats must be consumed through the diet.

Carbohydrates are sugars that break down into glucose, providing energy and a ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms similar to water.

The Importance of Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamins and minerals are crucial for the body's functions, even if their quantities are minimal. There are 13 vitamins and 11 minerals that are essential for daily intake.
