#5. PHOSPHORUS
PAPER
Vital for healthy bones and teeth, phosphorus also helps store energy needed by the body’s cells. It is also essential for the manufacture of DNA. Since it is found in all animal and vegetable proteins, as long as you have your two to three servings a day and include plenty of calcium-rich foods, you’ll get enough. The body needs vitamin D to process phosphorus.
