KNOW YOUR VITAMINS: IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN A & SOURCES

Happy year 2014 once again to you all. I believe or hope that everyone has had a good start into the year. January, they say, is usually slow. People trying to get back into their routines after the festive season. I have also been busy trying to plan activities for the first quarter of the year. To start off the year, I would be going back to basics. Last year I wrote quite a number of articles on health benefits of certain foods. We most times hear that a food is rich in vitamin A, B, C or K, etc. but many of us may have forgotten what these vitamins are, or do for the body. To help you, I would be dedicating my next few articles to highlight some of these vitamins, their health benefits and foods that are rich in them. Our first stop is the popular vitamin A which many of us with the blink of an eye would say that it is good for the eyes.
