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 any time 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 will 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. |
