Today we’re going to talk about the importance of vitamin E for muscle function—especially when you exercise. If you exercise on a regular basis and you want to improve your strength and endurance as well as reduce fatigue, this video is for you.
Vitamin E is known as a powerful antioxidant, and it may help support:
• The inner surface of your arteries
• The retinas
• The peripheral nerves
• The skeletal muscle membranes
• Reducing cramping—especially in the heart
Vitamin E deficiency symptoms:
1. Muscle weakness
2. Muscle myopathies
3. Reduced ability for muscles to contract
If you have a reduced ability for muscles to contract because you’re vitamin E deficient, you may experience muscle fatigue. You may have poor exercise performance, and you may also have tearing of muscle tissue without enough repair.
Foods high in the vitamin E complex:
• Wheatgerm
• Leafy greens
• Sunflower seeds
• Almonds

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So let's talk about the importance of vitamin E in muscle function, |
| 0:49.2 | especially when you exercise. Now, vitamin E is typically known as an antioxidant, especially for the inner |
| 0:57.2 | surface of your arteries. In fact, having enough vitamin E in the layer of your arteries can prevent |
| 1:06.0 | the accumulation of platelets and clotting factors and all sorts of things that could build up that could |
| 1:13.5 | potentially clog your arteries. But it's there to prevent the oxidation, okay, of certain things |
| 1:20.4 | like high blood sugar, chemicals that destroy the layer of your blood vessel. Because as soon as you have damage there you start having |
| 1:31.4 | cholesterol and calcium come in to patch this up and then things start getting out of hands |
| 1:36.3 | vitamin E deficiency is usually one of the first things to occur on the chain of events |
| 1:41.9 | because if you don't have enough vitamin E, things start to oxidize and build up. |
| 1:47.7 | Vitamin E will also support the retina and the complications from diabetes that affect the retina, |
| 1:55.8 | like retinopathies, which basically are dysfunctions of the retina or diseases of the retina. When you get diabetes, |
| 2:02.5 | you have a high amount of sugar flowing through the bloodstream. The vitamin E will also help |
| 2:07.5 | peripheral nerves and supporting them and preventing the damage that can occur from other things. |
| 2:13.0 | One of the most important things that vitamin E can do is support the skeletal muscle membranes. Okay. |
| 2:20.9 | Now, think about this. When you exercise, you're actually adding stress to the body. |
| 2:26.2 | You're tearing down muscle tissue and other tissue, connective tissue, and then your body repairs. |
| 2:33.1 | So you tear and repair. You're actually tearing |
| 2:36.6 | down at the microscopic level your membranes. And vitamin E is very essential in that repair |
| 2:44.9 | action. If you don't have enough vitamin E, either it's not going to heal right or it's going to heal with scar tissue. So we're going |
