Vitamin A

For our bodies to function healthy we need the proper nutrients on a daily basis. We need to eat right and exercise to feel good about ourselves and ward off illnesses. We should receive our daily intakes of vitamins and minerals. Some people however do not like to track those because there are so many vitamins that exist that we need. It can be confusing. One important vitamin we do not think about is Vitamin A.

What Is Vitamin A?

You may wonder what Vitamin A is and why it’s important. You are not alone as many people are unaware about Vitamin A. Vitamin A is also referred to as retinol. It’s vital in our lives. Vitamin A is important for our cell reproduction, to aid us with good vision, and a healthy immune system. Some also believe it is great to use as an anti-aging regiment. You will find it in many skin care lines.

What Is The Recommended Dosage Of Vitamin A?

As with any other vitamin, you should take Vitamin A in the recommended dosage. Men should take about 900 micrograms a day while women only need 700 micrograms a day. Depending upon your doctor or nutritionists recommendation, you may take up to 3,000 micrograms a day without suffering any side effects.

The following are the benefits of taking Vitamin A:

•  Some believe Vitamin A can help prevent breast cancer.
• Prevents and treats cataracts and increases healthy eyesight
• Shortens recovery time of laser eye surgery
• Reduces pregnancy complications if the mother is malnourished
• Reduces complications due to diseases such as measles and malaria.

Vitamin A Deficiency

A person who is suffering from Vitamin A deficiency may have diabetes, fevers, cystic fibrosis, or other protein deficiencies. If so, there are a few ways to increase your Vitamin A. Taking multivitamins is one way of getting your Vitamin A dosage as long as it’s the recommended daily allowance.

Foods That Contain Vitamin A

You are more than likely accustomed to eating Vitamin A foods every day and not even realizing it. Many cereal companies fortify their cereals with it. An excellent source of Vitamin A is in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale. It’s also in orange and yellow vegetables like squash, yellow bell peppers, carrots, and sweet potato with the peel. Eating a few good colorful salads a week can help you achieve the Vitamin A you need. Other foods would be milk, eggs, and liver.

If You Are In Any Doubt About Taking Vitamins Or Minerals Consult Your Doctor

If you are unsure of how to get the proper nutrients in your diet, consult with your doctor or nutritionists. If you have a health club membership, your trainer can offer you advice as well. There are many other vitamins you need in your body and some work with other vitamins and others against them. It is important to learn the proper way to eat your foods to remain healthy.

Choosing The Best Vitamin Vitamins Multivitamins | Quays Clinic of Hypnotherapy

Vitamins And Minerals

We live in a busy society today. Men and women try to eat the right foods to stay healthy but sometimes that just is not practical. Ideally, we would like to get all of our vitamins from the food we eat instead of from multivitamins. However, most of the time that is not a practical thing to do. Sometimes there just is not enough space in the fridge to store all of the fruits and vegetables we would have to eat to consume the same amount of vitamins that are in one multivitamin. Every multivitamin is different. Men and women need to make sure they pick the best multivitamin for their own specific needs. Read on for more information about selecting the right vitamin for your needs.

Finding The Best Multivitamins For Women

Women have special dietary needs that men do not have. When it comes to finding multivitamins for women, women have to ask specific questions to make sure they find the vitamin supplements that will do the most good. Are you trying to have children? You need to make sure you pick a multivitamin that is high in folic acid and iron. If you are worried about osteoporosis, you need to pick a vitamin high in Vitamin D and calcium. Always read the labels to make sure you are getting the right amount of whatever vitamin supplement you choose to take.

Finding The Best Multivitamins For Men

Whether you are athletic or not, you need to make sure you pick a vitamin that will give your body the support it needs. Make sure you pick a vitamin that is low in iron. Men do not need as much iron as women do. You also need to make sure you include a vitamin with calcium in it. Men also need calcium to keep their bones strong. You also want to make sure you get adequate amounts of B12. Inadequate amounts of B12 can lead to a host of problems. You could develop multiple sclerosis like symptoms or dementia.

Which Is The Best Vitamin?

Finding the best vitamin can be a challenge. You have to make sure you get your Vitamin C and B12. You have to make sure the vitamin can be easily absorbed into your bloodstream. Take the time to do your research before you pick a vitamin supplement. You will be glad you did all of that research when you are feeling good all the time. Be sure you speak with your doctor before you add a new vitamin supplement to your daily routine. You don’t want to add anything that will interfere with your medicines if you are taking any. Take any research you have done with you when you get ready to speak to your doctor.
