Vitamin E
While athletes lose this electrolyte through sweat and need to replenish it, consuming too much of it in a regular daily diet is strongly linked to high blood pressure.
Sodium
Even though it is scientifically classified as a carbohydrate, the human body lacks the enzymes to actually digest this plant-based material, which keeps our digestive tracts healthy.
Fiber (Dietary Fiber)
Expectant mothers are strongly advised to take this specific B vitamin (often found in leafy greens) to help prevent neural tube defects in early pregnancy.
Folate (or Folic Acid / Vitamin B9)
Found abundantly in oysters and pumpkin seeds, this trace mineral is heavily relied upon by your immune system and is critical for maintaining your sense of taste and smell.
Zinc
Unlike their "unsaturated" counterparts derived from olive oils and avocados, these types of fats—often found in meat, cheese, and butter—are characterized by being solid at room temperature.
Saturated Fats
A severe deficiency in this specific vitamin causes a disease called "Beriberi," which historically affected populations whose diets relied heavily on polished white rice instead of brown rice.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)
Working side-by-side with calcium to build strong bones, this mineral is also a key structural component of ATP, the primary energy molecule of your cells.
Phosphorus
