A-K WHAT VITAMINS DO FOR YOU

Here's a simple list in alphabetical order of what vital things vitamins do for you. Hopefully an encouragement to make sure you (and your employees) include them all in your diet:

VITAMIN A ---Keeps your skin and your eyes healthy; helps you heal your body, aids in your taste, appetite and growth. Vitamin A is in eggs, milk, and green and yellow vegetables. But, be careful, too much vitamin A is not good for you. Stick to the recommended daily allowance.

VITAMIN B1 (THIAMINE)-- It helps your body break down carbohydrates and keeps your nervous system humming along nicely. Plus it helps repair alcohol damaged nerve tissue. Milk, liver, peanuts, yeast, rice, and pork are all good sources of B1.

VITAMIN B2-- Important for you growth, skin, nails, hair, sensitive lips and tongue, eyesight, and the breakdown of protein, fat and carbohydrate. Get your B2 from green vegetables, cheese, fish, liver and other organ meats, and milk.

VITAMIN B3 (NIACIN)--Helps you metabolize carbohydrates and also oxidizes sugars. Open up for peanuts, lean meats, fish and bran.

VITAMIN B6--Good for preventing skin conditions, nerve problems, helps the body absorb protein and carbohydrate. Without enough B6 you can become sore, irritable and weak. To get some B6, chow down on whole-grain cereals, bananas, chicken, pork, fish, dried beans, and liver.

VITAMIN B12--It helps you make red blood cells and is important in digestion, the absorption of nutrients and in nerve health. Eggs, milk, cheese, and liver contain B12. Vitamin B12 is not available in vegetables.

VITAMIN C--Keeps your connective tissue, cartilage, and bones healthy; keeps your metabolism chugging along. It's also vital to your immune defense system, and it's a protection from viruses and bacteria, along with healing wounds, reducing cholesterol, cell lifespan, preventing scurvy. Plus, it's a natural laxative. Stock up on citrus fruits, kiwi fruit, berries, tomatoes, cauliflower, potatoes, green leafy vegetables and peppers.

VITAMIN D--Helps with calcium and phosphorus absorption in your body (these two compounds being essential for bones and teeth). How to get some: Sunlight (the action of sunlight on the skin allows our bodies to manufacture vitamin D), cod-liver oil, sardines, herring, salmon, tuna, milk and milk products.

VITAMIN E-- Aids in fighting toxins and is believed to help your body deal with free radicals, which may fool around with cellular structure. Nuts, soybeans, vegetable oil, broccoli, sprouts, spinach, wholemeal products, and eggs are all sources of this vital vitamin.
