It is no secret that one of the keys to a healthy life is to maintain a balanced diet. However, having one is always easier said than done. The price increase of many fruits and vegetables has also made it more difficult to eat healthily.
Fortunately, people can still get the daily recommended value of essential vitamins by using vitamin supplements. Men, in particular, should choose a supplement that contains the following vitamins and minerals:
Vitamin K
Although many people think of vitamin K as the supplement given to newborns, even adults still need sufficient amounts of the vitamin. Multiple studies have shown that adequate amounts of vitamin K can help reduce one’s chances of getting liver cancer and prostate cancer.
Vitamin D
Many American men suffer from vitamin D deficiency. This vitamin deficiency is a cause for concern because it has been related to cardiovascular disease. Although the body produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, many men use too much sunscreen, inhibiting the amount of vitamin D the body produces, or do not spend enough time under the sun.
Zinc
Zinc provides the immune system a quick boost, allowing men to stave off illnesses that would otherwise interfere with their work. Zinc is also known for helping cells repair themselves and boosting metabolism.
