    KNOW YOUR

    NUTRIENTS
    VITAMIN - A
    • Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient. It helps
    your body form healthy teeth, bones, soft
    tissues, and skin. It can also help you ward off
    bacterial and viral infections, prevent night
    blindness, and keep your hair and nails
    healthy.
    • Foods that are particularly high in vitamin A
    include:
    • Carrots
    • sweet potatoes
    • winter squash
    • Cantaloupe
    • Apricots
    • spinach, kale, and collard greens
    • Some spices are also high in vitamin A,
    including paprika, red pepper, cayenne, and
    chili powder.
    VITAMIN - B
    • Vitamins B-6, B-12, and B-9 are essential for proper
    nerve function, the synthesis of DNA, and the
    formation of red blood cells in your body. They also
    help maintain your brain function, prevent anemia,
    and support metabolism.

    • Foods that are particularly high in vitamins B-6 and


    B-12 include:
    • meat, poultry, and fish
    • seafood, including mussels and oysters
    • Eggs
    • milk
    • Foods that are particularly high in B-9, or folic acid,
    include leafy green vegetables and poultry. Some
    breakfast cereals, fruit juices, and other products
    are fortified with folic acid.
    VITAMIN - C
    • Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It’s a
    powerful antioxidant that helps protect the health
    of your cells. It improves your body’s iron
    absorption. It’s also important for promoting
    healthy teeth and gums, healing wounds, and
    helping you resist infection.
    • Foods that are particularly high in vitamin C include:
    • papaya
    • citrus fruits
    • strawberries
    • bell peppers
    • broccoli
    • Brussels sprouts
    • dark leafy greens, such as kale, mustard
    greens, and chard
    VITAMIN - D
    • Vitamin D is a unique vitamin. On top of absorbing
    it from foods you eat, your body can also synthesize
    it from sunlight. It’s critical for the health of your
    bones and immune system, as well as calcium
    absorption. According to the National Cancer
    InstituteTrusted Source, it may also help lower your
    risk of developing colorectal cancer.
    • Though sunshine is by far the richest source of
    vitamin D, foods that also provide vitamin D
    include:
    • some seafood, such as salmon, herring, catfish,
    trout, and oysters
    • milk
    • eggs
    • shiitake mushrooms
    VITAMIN - E
    • Like vitamin C, vitamin E is a powerful
    antioxidant. It helps protects your cells from
    damage. It also helps your body use vitamin K
    and repair muscle cells.
    • Foods that are particularly high in vitamin E
    include:
    • sunflower seeds and almonds
    • spinach, Swiss chard, and turnip greens
    • bell peppers
    • asparagus
    VITAMIN - K
    • Vitamin K is critical for your body’s formation of
    blood clots. Without it, you could bleed to death
    from a simple cut. It may also help maintain bone
    strength in older adults.
    • Foods that are particularly high in vitamin K include:
    • kale, spinach, collard greens, Swiss chard,
    turnip greens, and mustard greens
    • romaine lettuce
    • parsley
    • Brussels sprouts
    • broccoli
    • asparagus
