Natural Vitamin Sources at Home

By: Mary Smith

Foodies and farmers both know it. However, not enough other people are aware that though it is simple to purchase vitamin supplements, for most people it is far better to get our recommended dose of vitamins from natural sources.

Many people do not eat proper, balanced diets, and suffer from vitamin deficiency. However, rather than looking for a solution in a bottle, nutritionists recommend people begin eating more healthful foods to get the range of vitamins their bodies need.

Some people who adopt special diets may find that it is more difficult to get all of their body's needs from natural sources. In those special cases, perhaps a vitamin supplement in pill form is a good choice. It can be a bit complicated and time consuming for those people to prepare meals that incorporate all their needs. However, for the vast majority, regular food can easily provide all the nutrition we need.

It is important to be knowledgeable about the different types of vitamins and their best natural vitamin sources so that you can incorporate as many of these as possible into your regular diet. Water soluble vitamins cannot be stored in the body and therefore need to be replenished on a daily basis. Thus it is natural vitamin sources for these vitamins that are the most essential to learn. Many of these natural sources are already in your kitchen pantry, so it may not be hard for you to get started! Here are some common food sources for vitamins:

* Natural vitamin B8 sources can include molasses, vegetables, meat, whole grains, nuts, milk, brewer’s yeast, citrus fruits

* Natural vitamin B12 sources include organ meats, pork, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, bananas, lamb, kelp, peanuts (How about a peanut butter and banana sandwich!)
