Why You Need Vitamin A to Be a Superhuman (Seriously)
Vitamin A: Superhero duo of retinol (meat) and beta-carotene (plants) boosts immunity, vision, and skin. Most get enough, but some need more (kids, digestive issues). Eat liver, sweet potatoes, carrots for a power punch
Forget capes and spandex, vitamin A is the real deal when it comes to superpowers. This free-radical-fighting antioxidant comes in two forms: the animal-loving retinoids (think meat and dairy) and the plant-powered beta-carotene (fruits and veggies). Together, they're a dynamic duo for your health, promoting strong bones, a kick-ass immune system, and vision so sharp you could spot a rogue broccoli floret from a mile away.
But hold your horses, vitamin A isn't just for showboating. It's crucial for reproduction, growth, and keeping your skin looking like it just walked off the set of a dewy-glow commercial. Most people get their fill from their diet, but if you're rocking a digestive condition or your food choices are more “instant noodles” than “rainbow salad,” you might be short on this superhero squad.
