Are you taking the right nutritional supplements? The key to losing weight without looking old is to choose the right vitamins and minerals

So, what nutrients do you need to build a firm and healthy body? Next, we will introduce the essential nutrients for the body, which can help you not look old after losing weight.

Vitamins

Vitamin C

When you lose weight but look older, it may be because your skin age is rapidly increasing. Regardless of gender, when the skin loses elasticity and develops visible wrinkles and fine lines, it will show signs of aging. Vitamin C has the effect of slowing down the aging process of the skin and is also an indispensable material for collagen, which gives the skin elasticity and moisture.

Our bodies cannot synthesize vitamin C on their own, so we must obtain it through food. However, even if you take in a large amount of vitamin C in one go, your body will only digest and absorb the amount it needs, and the rest will be excreted in the urine. Taking health supplements regularly can help the body retain vitamin C at all times.

Vitamin B

We all want to lose weight, sleep better, and restore youthful skin, and vitamin B can help us achieve these wishes. There are many types of vitamin B. If you want to enhance the effect after taking it, choosing a balanced "vitamin B group" is much better than taking a single vitamin B. When the body has multiple vitamins at the same time, the efficiency will be higher.

However, B vitamins are afraid of heat. If food is heated before consumption, the amount that can be absorbed will be reduced, making it a nutrient that is quite difficult to obtain. Among multivitamin health foods, the sales volume of B vitamins is the most stable, which shows the importance of taking B vitamins.

●Minerals [Calcium/Iron/Magnesium]

Calcium, iron and magnesium are well-known nutrients and are all minerals. The human body cannot synthesize minerals on its own, so they must be obtained through food. Minerals have the function of building bones and regulating the body. They are usually scattered throughout the body and also have the effect of maintaining health. Calcium and iron are nutrients that are particularly prone to deficiency among minerals. Lack of calcium can easily cause osteoporosis, while lack of iron can cause anemia.

The amount of calcium each person should consume will vary depending on the balance between magnesium and phosphorus. The ideal balance for intake is "calcium: magnesium = 2:1". Biscuits contain a lot of phosphorus. It is known that when a large amount of biscuits are eaten, the body will dissolve calcium from the bones in order to achieve a balance. Therefore, people who often eat biscuits are prone to calcium deficiency. Only by considering the balance of minerals when choosing food can you truly build a healthy body that is less likely to gain weight.

Iron is a mineral that women are particularly prone to deficiency, but taking iron and vitamin C together can promote absorption. Therefore, lemon is often eaten with red meat. This is not just a combination of ingredients, but also a consideration of nutritional health.

Zinc

Zinc is a nutrient that has been much discussed in recent years. Zinc is also an essential enzyme for metabolism. In order for cells to be replaced and regenerated smoothly, you must consume enough zinc. Eating too much fast food or biscuits will hinder the body's absorption of zinc.

If you want to reduce your calorie intake and lose weight, you must control your diet. This can easily lead to malnutrition and cause harm to your body. For example: "Although I lost weight, I gained it back quickly and was even fatter than before", "Although I lost weight, my physical strength deteriorated and I became more susceptible to colds".

The "biological clock sleep slimming technique" does not aim to lose weight temporarily, but to create a firm body through continuous good sleep. To do this, of course, you must also take in enough nutrition.
