Vitamin CTo turbo-charge iron's energizing superpowers pair it with some vitamin C. That vitamin helps your body use the hard-to-absorb type of iron found in fruits and veggies, says Cording. Besides that, vitamin C's an antioxidant, which means it promotes optimal cell function. "It signals to cells that they have jobs to do, like fights free radical particles and keep your immune system functioning well," says Cording. And when your cells are functioning properly, your muscles can work harder. Get your 75 milligrams per day from oranges, peppers, and even kale.CalciumGood news for all you dairy lovers: New research suggests consuming the recommended amount calcium each day could help you lose weight or maintain your goal weight, says Cording. Researchers think that calcium helps cells fulfill their maximum potential, which means your muscles can work harder at the gym, your body can digest food and allocate the nutrients more efficiently, and your metabolism can perform at it's best. To meet that suggested daily amount of 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams, yogurt is your best bet, she says. "Yogurt is one of my favorite calcium sources because the probiotic bacteria keep your digestion running smoothly, which results in less bloating, says Cording. Score! If you're not a dairy fan, you can also get the nutrient from tofu, salmon, white beans, and kale. (Seriously, kale is such a nutrient hog!)
