Vitamins and minerals

Vitamin A - Carrots

Vitamin B6 - Spinach or Bell Peppers

Vitamin B12 - Eggs, other Dairy products

Vitamin C - Oranges

Vitamin D - Salmon, sardines, shrimp, milk, cod, eggs

Vitamin E - Wheat Germ Oil, Almonds, Sunflower Seeds, Peanut Butter

Vitamin K - spinach, Brussels sprouts, green beans, asparagus, broccoli, kale and mustard greens. Very good sources include green peas and carrots

Beta-carotene - Cantaloupe, Carrots, Mangos, Sweet Potatos

Biotin-Swiss chard, Romaine lettuce, cooked eggs, almonds and walnuts

Boron- Prunes, dates, raisins and honey, nuts, fresh fruit such as grapes and pears, green leafy vegetables and beans (and for those who don't know what Boron is: Boron is a newcomer to nutritional supplements and is used to help with menopausal symptoms as well as maintaining healthy bones, since its affinity to calcium and magnesium)

Calcium- spinach, turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens and of course good ol' milk

Chromium - onions (raw), broccoli, turkey leg, tomatos (raw). Chromium is critical to a healthy diet because it regulates the body?s insulin function, enabling its cells to perform many important functions, like metabolism, muscle building, and nervous system support. In fact, experts refer to insulin as the ?master metabolic harmone? since proper insulin activity is needed for cardiovascular health and in lowering the risk of diabetes.

Cobalt - Meat and Milk. Cobalt is a mineral required by the body for blood formation. It is an integral part of Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), a vitamin essential for producing red blood cells and maintaining the nervous system.

Copper - Copper comes in two forms, copper gluconate and copper sulfate. Copper is a trace element that is found in virtually every cell of the human body. It is a primary element in the production of melanin in the human body. Melanin is responsible for pigmentation in the eyes, hair and skin. Copper is active in many ways in the human body. It is a powerful antioxidant which acts on the body to remove free radicals and help prevent cell structure damage. It helps in the utilization of iron.

Get it eating: shellfish, brazil nuts, hazel nuts, cocoa, honey, dried beans and whole wheat products (PageWise, Inc., http://nmnm.essortment.com/vitaminsmineral_rszx.htm)


Fluoride- (ok, before I go search, I'm going to just say 'toothpaste'....I have no idea what else has flouride!!) Tea, fresh fruit and vegetables, and fluoridated tap water

Folic acid - breakfast cereals, bread, pasta, and rice so that each serving contains at least 20 percent of the daily requirement, and some breakfast cereals contain 100 percent (400 mcg) or more. Dark leafy greens are also a good source of folate, as are legumes such as lentils and chickpeas. Especially important for pregnant, or women wanting to concieve.

Germanium- (another one I had no idea about) Germanium is a trace element found in a wide range of foods including beans, tomato juice, oysters, tuna and garlic. (And just an FYI about it; Germanium isn't needed for good health.It has no known function in the body but it may help us get energy from the carbohydrates we eat.)

Iodine- sea vegetables, yogurt, cow's milk, eggs, strawberries and mozzarella cheese.

Iron - Spinach, Clams, pork liver, oysters, chicken liver, mussels, beef liver, enriched cereal, cooked beans and lentils, pumpkin seeds, blackstrap molasses. EAting vitamin C with iron helps with iron absorption - so remember to put some oranges with that spinach salad!

Magnesium- halibut, tuna, artichokes, bananas, barley, oat bran, almonds (Check out more here: http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/food/magnesium-foods.htm)

Manganese- is a trace element and eating a small amount from food or water is needed to stay healthy. Found in tea, cereals, and grains.

Pantothenic acid

Phosphorus

Riboflavin

Molybdenum- (one I never heard of) is a trace element found in a variety of foods. Foods that grow above ground - such as peas, leafy vegetables (including spinach and broccoli) and cauliflower - tend to be higher than meat and food that grow below ground. Nuts and cereals such as oats are high in molybdenum.
