Here is the info on foods with vitamin A. Vitamin A (also called retinol), is very important for the body functioning in many ways. It is important for your skin and bone condition, your vision and for the strength of your immune system, protecting the body from infections. It is also an antioxidant. It has one more very important role, and that is maintaining reproduction processes.
The healthiest way of taking it is certainly from foods. The foods rich in vitamin A are cheese (hard cheese), liver, butter (or margarine with vitamin A added) and eggs. There are some more foods that also contain vitamin A such are: carrot (especially raw carrots), fish, ghee, faggots, potato (sweet), broccoli, spinach, pumpkin, apricot, mango, papaya and milk. Liver (pig liver) is especially rich in vitamin A and it refers to liver in all forms (including pate and sausage).
It is important to know that you should not consume too much of anything. For example, there is no need to eat liver every day, especially if you are pregnant. Speaking of frequency, you do not need to take vitamin A every single day. Body regulates the usage of vitamin A, so you don’t need to take it all the time over and over. If your body doesn’t spend vitamin A supplies, it will keep them for the future. If your diet is well balanced, you shouldn’t worry of vitamin A amount in your organism. An adult man needs some 0.7 mg a day. Woman needs about 0.6 mg daily.
As with all the other things concerning health, be careful with the dosage of vitamin A. IF you overdo it with vitamin A while still relatively young, it may affect your bones later when you get older. Do not eat too much liver or hard cheese; once a week should be fine in condition that you eat other healthy foods in normal amounts. Also,if your life style is healthy, meaning you do not damage your body by consuming alcohol or drugs, your body won’t have the need for additional intake of any vitamin. In rare cases vitamin A deficiency can occur, but it is not very common.
