Summary:
Why is Vitamin A important?
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient. Meaning your body stores vitamin A in the fatty tissues. Vitamin A is necessary for the optimal functioning of the body, such as stronger immunity, reproduction, vision, and healthy skin.
Our body converts carotenoids present in fruits and vegetables into Vitamin A and stores it in fatty tissues. Without an adequate amount of Vitamin A, our body would struggle in maintaining healthy skin, strong immunity, and reproductive health.
Sources of Vitamin A
Experts recommend including foods rich in Vitamin A to maintain healthy lungs, heart, kidneys, and other vital organs.
A healthy adult needs 700-900 micrograms of Vitamin A per day. Foods contain two types of Vitamin A- provitamin A and preformed vitamin A. The preformed type is retinol and is found in dairy products, eggs, meat, and fish.
Provitamin A, known as beta carotene, is found in brightly colored foods. The next time you go grocery shopping, fill your cart with cantaloupes, carrots, apricots, pumpkin, pink grapefruit, winter squash, sweet potatoes, dark green leafy vegetables, and of course- Broccoli!
