Eating Tricks: Fix Common Problems Instantly with the Right Nutrients
Your body often sends subtle signals when it's missing key nutrients—and the right foods can offer near-instant relief. Here are 10 quick health fixes, backed by science:
Trouble sleeping? You may be low in magnesium. Studies show magnesium helps regulate melatonin and promotes deep sleep. Try spinach and avocado (Abbasi et al., Nutrients, 2012).
Waking up tired? Potassium supports proper nerve and muscle function. A banana or coconut water can help energize you (He et al., N Engl J Med, 2001).
Low energy? Iron is essential for oxygen transport. Raisins and red meat can restore your vitality (Haas & Brownlie, J Nutr, 2001).
Got a headache? Mild sodium depletion may be the cause. Cucumber juice or cheese can help (Sikand et al., Headache, 2013).
Feeling weak? Zinc supports immune and muscle health. Mango and seafood are rich sources (Prasad, Am J Clin Nutr, 2008).
Feeling sad? Low vitamin D levels are linked to mood disorders. Get sun or eat salmon (Anglin et al., Br J Psychiatry, 2013).
Muscle cramps? You may need calcium—found in yogurt and almonds (Beto, Nutr Clin Pract, 2015).
Bloating? Probiotics in yogurt and kimchi improve digestion (Ouwehand et al., Clin Microbiol Rev, 2002).
Dull skin? Vitamin C boosts collagen. Try oranges and bell peppers (Pullar et al., Nutrients, 2017).
Feeling stressed? Omega-3s in walnuts and flaxseed reduce cortisol levels (Kiecolt-Glaser et al., Brain Behav Immun, 2011).
Eat smart, feel better—naturally.
