Two-thirds of adults in the world don’t eat enough. Research reveals 4 key nutrients and how to supplement your diet

The Lancet Global Health journal study shows that about two-thirds of adults around the world do not have enough four key nutrients. According to Newsweek, the study analyzed data from Global Dietary Database, World Bank and diet surveys, surveyed the intake of 15 key vitamins and minerals in 185 countries, and observed the effects of lack of these nutrients on human health.

Ty "These results are shocking. They not only harm health, but also limit the potential of humans around the world." The results showed that more than 5 billion people around the world did not take enough iodine, vitamin E or calcium from their food, while more than 4 billion people did not take enough iron. Why are these nutrients important and how can we replenish them through food?

Iodine/Making Thyroid hormone

Iodine is a mineral that is necessary for the human body to produce Thyroid hormone, but 68% of people around the world do not receive enough iodine from their diet.

Foods rich in iodine include seaweed, dairy products, chicken eggs and basil, and many foods also include iodine, such as bread and iodine salt. Many Americans rely on iodine-added food to achieve the recommended daily intake.

Vitamin E/Polyradical radicals

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in the scavenging of waste products produced by the charcoal reaction (free radicals), which can damage cells.

The severe lack of vitamin E in the United States is rarely seen, but most people do not meet the recommended daily intake, and 67% of adults worldwide do not receive enough vitamin E from their diet.

Foods rich in vitamin E include fruits, spinach, green and white vegetables, strange fruits, etc.

Calcium/maintaining bone health

Calcium is important for bone health, blood circulation, muscle function, hormone secretion and neural system communication, but 66% of adults worldwide are insufficient intake.

Americans' calcification, 72% comes from dairy products. However, there are many foods rich in calcium, including oily fish, beans, green leaves vegetables, chia seeds, etc. The amount of calcines that the human body can absorb varies from food, and it requires sufficient vitamin D to absorb calcines.

Iron/Promote brain development

The human body needs iron to send blood oxygen and develop key effects in muscle neoplasms, body growth, brain development and hormones.

online journal PLOS One study shows that deficiency disorders (poor blood) affect about 4 million to 5 million Americans each year. Women are particularly prone to lack of iron during the period, and they develop symptoms of fatigue, headache, fear of cold and shortness of breath.

65% of adults around the world do not gain enough iron from their diet. Foods rich in iron include beans, beans, spinach, beef and some breakfast meat slices.
