What are the four most lacking nutrients for men?

　　Vitamin D. The biggest contribution of vitamin D is to strengthen bones, but the latest research has found that a lack of vitamin D of more than 80% can cause heart disease or stroke.

　　Although the human body can synthesize vitamin D by itself through exposure to the sun, this vitamin D will be quickly depleted in winter. Professor Mike Hollick from Boston University said, maleA daily supplement of 1400IU (International Units) should be taken when D is deficient. Foods rich in vitamin D include milk, egg yolks, animal liver, etc.

　　magnesium. The American College of Nutrition found that magnesium deficiency can reduce blood C-reactive protein concentrations, leading to heart disease disease. The survey found that men’s daily magnesium intake is only 80% of the recommended amount. Professor Dinah King of the Medical University of Southern California recommends eating foods rich in magnesium, such as halibut and kidney beans. If taking a supplement, choose magnesium citrate, which is best absorbed by the body.

　　Vitamin B12. A British study found that people with vitamin B12 deficiency experienced faster memory decline. Dr. Catherine Tucker of Tufts University said that the lack of B12 in modern people is also related to drug interactions. Some acid blockers, hypoglycemic drugs and antihypertensive drugs can hinder B12 absorption. Lamb and salmon are both good sources of B12. It is easier and more convenient to make breakfast with B12-fortified cereal.

　　Potassium. When the human body is deficient in potassium, the heart stops beating and muscles cannot move. Associate Professor Lydia Baznot of Tula University said that only 60%-70% of men eat the recommended amount of potassium every day. Everyone knows that bananas are the "potassium king" among fruits. If you don't like eating fruits, potatoes are not a bad choice. One large potato contains 1/3 of the recommended amount of potassium.
