  • Vitamin A: The Overlooked Nutrient Your Immune System Needs

    IMA has some fantastic free health guides, and I wanted to highlight them again so no one misses out.

    Starting with the A to Zinc Guide — a jam packed downloadable resource covering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, gut and metabolic support, and more.

    Today’s spotlight is Vitamin A

    Vitamin A is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that supports immune function, vision, skin health, cellular communication, thyroid function, lung health, and healthy reproductive function.

    The guide also explains that Vitamin A comes in two main forms: preformed Vitamin A from animal foods, and provitamin A carotenoids from plant foods. Foods rich in Vitamin A include beef liver, cod liver oil, salmon, eggs, dairy, sweet potato, carrots, leafy greens, red peppers, mango and cantaloupe.

    Signs you may need to pay attention to Vitamin A include poor night vision, dry eyes, dry or rough skin, frequent infections, poor wound healing, hair issues, and respiratory infections.

    These guides are free, easy to download, and make a great resource to share with family and friends — or even to print and leave in your local doctor’s office for others to read.

    Quick question:

    Did you know Vitamin A plays such an important role in immune and lung health?
