"Women don't realize how critical some of the key micronutrients are, things like the B vitamins, vitamin D, and magnesium." - Dr. Taz Bhatia, Integrative Physician and author of The 21-Day Belly Fix
1. B Vitamins for healthy metabolism and hormonal balance
They're essential for healthy metabolism of sugars and starches and for hormone production. They help turn hormones into active or inactive forms, make sure hormones reach the correct destination within a woman's body, and help eliminate excess hormones to prevent toxicity.
2. Vitamin D3 for bone health, improve immunity, and anti-inflammation
Low levels of vitamin D, quite prevalent among women, are linked to greater odds of PMS, death from breast cancer, depression, Alzheimer's disease, difficult pregnancies, uterine fibroids, rheumatoid arthritis, impaired sugar metabolism, gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels, heart disease, postmenopausal loss of bone and muscle, and higher risk of falls and fractures later in life, says Bhatia.
3. Magnesium for cramps
Like B vitamins, magnesium is essential for many processes within a woman's body. A shortfall-which is all too common-can result in cramps, anxiety, constipation, sore muscles, sleep difficulties, and other unpleasant symptoms.
