Simple Sources of Natural Vitamins

By: Mary Smith

Farmers know it. Foodies know it. But not enough people know that although it is easy to buy vitamin supplements to help overcome any deficiencies, for the majority it is better to obtain the recommended daily allowance of vitamins from natural vitamin 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 chosen diets, such as vegetarian, provide a limited number of natural vitamins and therefore a supplement may be the best option. It can be time consuming and complicated for some special dieters to get the foods they need, in the ratios that are best, from natural sources. But for most diets, food can provide all you need!

A key to success in doing so, is to learn about the different types of vitamins, and where they can be naturally sourced. With that knowledge, it will be much easier to incorporate the vitamins you need into your daily diet. Some vitamins are water soluble, and cannot be stored by the body, so they must be replenished every day. Learning about the various vitamins doesn't take long, and once you do, you will find it easier to find natural sources in many of the foods you already have in your household. Ready? Here are some of the most widely available sources for vitamins:

* Natural vitamin B4 sources can include egg yolks, legumes, organ meats, brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, soybeans, fish.

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

* Natural vitamin B17 sources include whole kernels of apricots, peaches, apples, cherries, plums
