ABC’s of Vitamins

When it comes to your diet, do you know your ABCs?

About half of American adults don’t  get enough vitamin A . We need it for our skin, our eyesight and our immune system. You can boost your vitamin A by eating plenty of carrots , pumpkin , cantaloupe , spinach  and kale .

B vitamins help convert food to energy and promote healthy skin, hair, muscles and brain function. Boost your B with mushrooms, beans, and green leafy vegetables.

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that promotes skin health. Vitamin C aids our immune system   and may actually lower the severity and duration of colds. New research indicates vitamin C may  boost the body’s ability to metabolize fat,too.  Get more C by eating  red and yellow bell peppers, kiwi, oranges, broccoli, papaya, and strawberries, all of which provide well over 100% of the Daily Value of vitamin C per serving.
