Vitamin D
Kravich says that vitamin D is also an essential nutrient that we need since we often aren't exposed to enough natural light. "Getting vitamin D is important for the synthesis of calcium and our structural health," she explains.

Calcium
"Take calcium at night at bedtime in liquid or powdered capsule form," suggests Kravich. She elaborates that it acts like the best sleeping pill in the world (and we could all use a little help sleeping, no?). Plus, it can help with weight management, since it relaxes and helps you get into a deeper sleep, which in turn allows your body to repair itself.
