Eat From the Ground

Go after that A+.

    I know I can't talk about every vitamin and mineral in this series I'm doing now, but I do want to talk about several. I'm hoping to paint a clear picture for everyone to see how important it is to get our vitamins and minerals. They are the foundation of health.

    Let's talk about the A's today. Most people are familiar with this one, but I daresay most people would say we just need to eat our carrots. You probably associate vitamin A with good eyesight, and you would be right, but let's see what else we can learn about vitamin A.

    Here is a list of symptoms associated with low vitamin A. Notice the first one. This is usually the first sign of a problem.

   I'm surprised by some things on this list. So many times people suffer through symptoms if they just think it's "normal" or "everybody my age" suffers it. Most times we don't really think of these symptoms as having anything to do with our food.

    The main thing I want to teach by doing these posts, is that food is everything! We can blame most all of our symptoms on our food. I have found out for myself the power of good food, and I want to help others find out about this magic key as well.

Here are some ways to get more vitamin A in our diet:

   If you haven't picked up on it yet, the rule of thumb is to think COLOR! The darker green the better. The brighter the better. Red, yellow, orange... think bold!

   Be honest. How many foods do you eat from this list?

I hope you start eating more colors.

Until next time...

Enjoy God's providence!
