Your Natural Health Nutrition Plan
Vitamins and minerals (i.e. calcium and iron) are not a source of energy but allow us to utilize the energy from carbohydrate, fat and protein.
For bone health, consume calcium from dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheeses), dark leafy vegetables such as collard greens and calcium fortified foods (check soy milk, tofu and orange juice for content).
Iron is vital in our body’s ability to carry oxygen and fight infection. It can be found in meat, poultry and fish as well as fortified foods (cereals, breads, pastas), legumes and dark leafy vegetables.
To boost your natural defenses, look for vitamin C in citrus fruit such as oranges, and bell peppers, broccoli, strawberries and papayas. Carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots, and fortified milk are all sources of vitamin A, responsible for vision and healthy skin and hair.
