VITAMIN A – (beta carotene) Gets an A+!

We have all heard of VITAMIN A, but do we know and understand the functions it helps to promote within our body?  It is funny that even though the importance of VITAMIN A is vital to our body’s growth and maintenance, these important facts about it are not publicized much at all.  It is even more interesting that there are fruits, vegetables and herbs that contain this VITAMIN.  If we eat the foods that contain VITAMIN A and take a Vitamin supplement we can infuse some powerful nutrients into our bloodstreams.  According to the “Nutritional Awareness Guide By The LEGION OF LIGHT” here are the functions of our bodies that are enhanced by taking this Vitamin:

VITAMIN A:

“Promotes growth and vitality.  Helps the body fight infection and bacteria.  Important for the health of the eyes, bones, teeth, hair and skin tissue.  Essential in the formation of visual purple, a substance which is necessary for proper night vision.  Maintains healthy functioning of the liver and reproductive organs.  Promotes healing of broken bones and damaged skin or tissue.  Shortens the duration of illness.  Essential for pregnancy and lactation.  Aids the body in combating the effects of environmental pollution.”

Just to know that VITAMIN A can affect and improve these sacred bodily functions, should help us understand the importance of recognizing the right foods and vitamin supplements to put into our bodies.  These Vegetables and Fruits are available everywhere, whether they are grown organic or not.  Let’s look at some of the Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs that contain VITAMIN A  according to the “Nutritional Awareness Guide by the LEGION OF LIGHT” :
