8. Most skim milk is fortified with vitamin D and A. Vitamin D and A, however, are fat soluble
vitamins that need the presence of fat for maximum absorption, which is a problem since
skim milk by definition has all of the fat removed from it. "Consuming fat alongside these
vitamins may help improve the absorption of vitamin D," says Janine Whiteson, MS,
author, and nutritionist. "Dietary fat stimulates the release of bile into the small intestine,
which helps the digestion of fat and fat-soluble vitamins such as D." If you're drinking skim
milk on an empty stomach, however, this means you'll want to also eat something that's a
healthy source of fat, such as an avocado, some nuts and seeds, an egg on toast, or
some fresh produce with olive oil.

9. Salt with Iodine
 Although salt is a necessary part of a healthy diet, it's very sneaky and found in
very high quantities in many foods, particularly packaged ones. You should make a
conscious effort to consume a restrained amount, as well as making sure it's quality
salt when you do consume it. When adding it to your foods, opt for fortified salt that
contains iodine, an essential nutrient that helps prevent developmental disabilities,
cognitive impairment, and goiter. Salt in processed foods does not contain iodine
(in case you needed another reason to avoid processed junk!), and iodine
deficiency is the leading cause of preventable brain damage in the world. Having
salt with iodine is especially important if you don't consume seafood.
