Safeguard Your Most Important Asset with Vitamins E and D






That’s right, your noggin. Recent research is finding links between diets with adequate amounts of vitamin D and E and lowered risks of developing Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. There are no promises that ingesting these vitamins will guarantee that you will never have these diseases, but if there is a chance that they may help, isn’t it worth it? Here are some healthy foods that contain Vitamin E and Vitamin D…

Vitamin E

Almonds
Avocados
Eggs
Nuts
Seeds
Wholegrains
Spinach
Broccoli
Soybeans
Kiwi
Mango
Liver
Yams
Kale

Vitamin D is mainly produced in the skin after exposure to ultraviolet B light from the sun, but it can also be derived from the following natural food sources….

Catfish
Salmon
Mackerel
Sardines
Tuna
Whole Eggs
Mushrooms

Vitamin D and E can be found in supplements, but these vitamins are more likely to be absorbed properly if eaten in their natural form. Also, consuming whole natural foods as opposed to taking vitamin supplements will limit instances of over consumption and potential toxicity due to excess supplementation.
