5 Healthy Vitamin
Rich Foods
by Tom Parker
Vitamins are required for good health. They help your
body produce new cells, provide protection to certain
cells, help your body break down food into energy and
much more. Despite all these fantastic benefits, many
people fail to get their recommended daily allowance
(RDA) of the various vitamins due to making poor dietary
choices. That is why in this article I am going to be
discussing five healthy vitamin rich foods.
1) BROCCOLI:- Broccoli is a rich source of vitamin B6,
B7 and K. It is a great vegetable to have with chicken,
beef or fish. Plus it can be added to casseroles, curries or
stews to make a perfect hot meal.
2) EGGS:- Eggs contain high levels of vitamin A, B7
and D and can be eaten at anytime of the day. You can
have eggs on toast for breakfast, mix in some vegetables
and make a tasty omelette for lunch or have them as a
side dish with your evening meal. Furthermore, they are
extremely versatile. If eaten on their own they can be
hard-boiled, soft-boiled, poached or scrambled.
Alternatively, you can mix them in with other foods to
make a tasty omelette or sauce.
3) MILK:- Milk is rich in vitamin A, B2, B7 and D. You
can drink it on its own or even mix it in with protein powder
and make a shake. Alternatively, you can use it to make
oatmeal for a tasty, vitamin rich breakfast treat.
4) NUTS:- Nuts contain high levels of vitamin B1 and
B3 but are particularly rich in vitamin E. Although they are
not substantial enough to make up a full meal they are a
perfect healthy snack food. They also contain much more
vitamins than conventional snacks making them an
excellent choice.
5) SPINACH:- Spinach is a good source of vitamin A,
B7 and K. One good way to add spinach to your daily diet
is to put it on your sandwiches. Alternatively, you can use
spinach as a side dish to your main evening meal. Not
only will it add some texture to your sandwiches but it will
significantly increase your vitamin intake, too.
Many people's diet are lacking in the vitamin
department. However, this does not have to be the case
for you. If you eat each of the foods listed in this article on
a regular basis you will be well on your way to getting the
RDA for the various vitamins.
