Phosphorus is vital to overall health, but be wary of taking supplements. Here's why.
Phosphorus is vital to overall health, but be wary of taking supplements. Here's why. Show Caption Hide Caption How to add more Vitamin E to your diet and boost your immune system Vitamin E is an essential nutrient that can boost your immune system and keep your skin healthy. Here's how to incorporate more of it into your diet When most of us think about getting enough vitamins and minerals, we usually think of the ones that get the most attention like vitamins A, C and D and minerals like magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc. Sometimes these nutrients get so much recognition that many people also start supplementing them by taking pills, powders and/or liquids. But one of the minerals we don't hear about nearly as often is also one of the most important. Here's why phosphorus is so vital to overall health and how you can increase your intake of it naturally or, when recommended by your doctor, in supplemental form. What is phosphorus? Phosphorus is an essential mineral, which means it's critical for maintaining certain bodily functions but your body can't produce it naturally. Despite not being produced in the body, "phosphorus is a mineral that is incredibly abundant in the body," says Dr. Uma Naidoo, director of nutritional and lifestyle psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard-trained nutritional psychiatrist behind "Calm Your Mind with Food." In fact, research shows that phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body after calcium. The reason for this abundance is that the mineral is quite common in many of the foods we eat every day. "Phosphorus tends to be found in most protein-dense foods like beef, poultry, pork, seafood, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds and legumes," says Naidoo. Other foods that contain phosphorus include whole grains, bran cereals, pizza, chocolate, bananas, kiwis, prunes, potatoes, avocados and artichokes. Sometimes the mineral is also added to foods as an additive or preservative and will show up on the food's Nutrition Facts Label when that's the case. In short, "we can meet our daily phosphorus needs of 700 milligrams from a variety of food sources," says Leslie Bonci, a registered sports dietitian and founder of Active Eating Advice. As examples, she notes that one cup of milk contains 226 milligrams of phosphorus, 16 ounces of yogurt has 245 milligrams, three ounces of salmon contain 214 milligrams, three ounces of chicken breast contain 182 milligrams and 1/2 cup of lentils is loaded with 178 milligrams of the mineral. Looking to eat more protein? Consider adding chicken to your diet. Here's why. What does phosphorus do for the body? Is phosphorus good for you? No matter which food sources you're getting the nutrient from, "phosphorus plays a key role in many health functions," says Lisa Young, a registered dietitian nutritionist, author of "Finally Full, Finally Slim" and an adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University. For one, "phosphorus keeps the blood pH within a normal range," says Bonci. This is a measure of how acidic or alkaline something is, and maintaining a normal blood pH is important for overall health. "Phosphorus also plays a role in muscle and nerve function," Bonci adds. It does this by aiding muscle contraction and by helping form DNA, RNA and cellular membranes throughout the body. In similar fashion, phosphorus also "works to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the key molecule that our cells use for energy," says Young. Most importantly, she says, the mineral works with calcium to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It does this by the two minerals forming hydroxyapatite, the main structural component of bone and tooth enamel. Heads up: Depleted energy levels affect us all. But here's when they could indicate something serious. Should you take phosphorus as a supplement? Because phosphorus is such a common mineral, most people do not need to take it as a supplement. But there are exceptions. "Supplementation tends to be recommended to those with a generally unhealthy diet, those who do not consume animal products or those who are nutrient-deficient," says Naidoo. Sometimes people with certain medical conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis or those recovering from surgery or burns may also need supplementation. "And individuals with certain genetic disorders or (who are) taking medications that deplete phosphorus may also require supplements," says Young. Excessive amounts of phosphorus may negatively impact calcium levels in the body, "which can be detrimental to bones and the cardiovascular system," says Naidoo. "And people with kidney disease sometimes need (to) watch the amount of phosphorus they consume," adds Young. Because of such factors, Naidoo says that "phosphorus supplementation should only be done under the supervision of a physician."

Your Friends & Neighbors Finale Reveals Who Killed Paul — Will You Come Back for Season 2?
Your Friends & Neighbors wrapped up its freshman season by answering one big question — who killed Paul? — and left us pondering a few others. Friday's finale opens with Coop envisioning himself lying by the pool while Mel and his kids call him to come swimming. It was just a dream, though, and the cold, hard reality remains: He's facing a murder charge and a possible sentence of life in prison after being found at the scene of Paul's death. He can't even take refuge in golf: The country club wants to suspend his membership until his 'current difficulties' are cleared up. He signs over his half of the house to Mel just in case (which leaves her worried) and then spends the night with his kids and his sister Ali, whose acoustic performance leads to a rambling confession about her affair with her married ex Bruce. But hey, at least she got the crowd to chant 'F–k Bruce.' More from TVLine What to Watch in June: Your Guide to 110+ Premieres Across Broadcast, Cable and Streaming Dept. Q Mysteriously Disappeared From Netflix Hours After Premiere - But Now It's Back And Just Like That Premiere: Carrie and Aidan's Long-Distance Romance Hits an Embarrassing Snag (Plus, Grade It!) Coop gently nudges Ali to get back on her meds, since he might not be around to keep her in line, and he gives a pricey watch of his to his son Hunter. His daughter Tori gives him the cold shoulder at first, but eventually cuddles up with him to watch a movie, sobbing on his chest. Coop asks his lawyer Kat about a plea deal, and she thinks she can get his charges down to manslaughter, and he'd serve six years. He's furious that he'd have to go away that long for something he didn't do, but considering the alternative, he agrees to make a deal. When Mel notices Coop's watch on her son's wrist, she marches over to Coop's and confronts him: 'If you ever loved me, don't bulls–t me right now.' He admits he's contemplating a plea deal, and she begs him not to, imploring him to try harder to save himself than he did to save their marriage. So Coop tells his lawyer Kat he's not taking the deal: 'I am guilty of a lot of things, but I am not guilty of this.' He wants the cops to look into Sam again, and Kat points out that her phone records prove she was in Boston — but Coop doesn't see his number anywhere in the records. They figure out she had a burner phone, but the cops say they can't do anything unless they physically have the phone. So Coop enlists his old partner in crime Elena to volunteer her housekeeping services to Sam, and when Sam leaves to run errands, Elena lets Coop in to snoop for the burner phone. Meanwhile, the cops get a new report from the medical examiner: Two of Paul's three gunshot wounds came after he died. Hmmm… Elena doesn't find the phone — but she does find something else. When Sam gets home, Coop is waiting to confront her: 'Nobody killed Paul. He shot himself.' He lays out how Sam shot her ex-husband's dead body to make it look like a murder, because she wouldn't be able to cash his lucrative insurance policy if he took his own life. He also shows her what Elena found hidden away: Paul's bloody suicide note. Sam fesses up, explaining how Paul called her on FaceTime and shot himself right in front of her. She rushed home, leaving her primary phone with her parents in Boston, and staged the scene to look like a murder. And why did she frame Coop? 'You should've been kinder to me,' she tells him — and when he tries to walk away, she pulls a gun on him. He doesn't flinch, though: 'You're not a killer either,' he says as he calls her bluff and walks away. In the end, Sam gets arrested, but Paul was already dead, and she never filed the insurance claim, so she'll likely only get a slap on the wrist. Coop has a warm reunion with Mel and his kids, and his old boss Jack asks him to come back to work, even offering him a fat profit share to seal the deal. Coop attends a swanky fundraiser gala, and everyone welcomes him back into high society with open arms. ('Nothing like beating a murder rap to give you a social boost,' Coop quips.) As Coop slow-dances with Tori, Mel watches from afar, and Nick says he blames himself for their split: 'I fell in love with a woman who was in love with someone else.' Mel then joins Coop for a slow dance, and they both pledge to stay single for a while. He doesn't hold a grudge against Sam, and Mel wonders how he can forgive her so quickly. 'I wasn't in love with her,' he points out, giving her a knowing smile. Oh! As Coop leaves the fundraiser, he stops a mom named Jules and hints that he knows about her SAT cheat sheets — and warns her not to send her daughter to Princeton to compete with Tori. And while Jack and Liv wait for Coop to join them on a private jet to meet a client (and Ali spray-paints 'F–k Bruce' on Bruce's garage door), Coop instead heads to Jack's empty house and robs it, noting: 'It's time to get back to work.' is already renewed for Season 2 — will you return for another season? Give the finale, and Season 1 as a whole, a grade in our polls, and hit the comments to share your thoughts in full.
