Vitamin A is mainly found in eggs, milk, liver, and orange colored fruits and vegetables. It works to prevent night blindness, keeps our immune system active, and helps skin stay healthy!

B Vitamins help turn our food into energy and also aid in nerve function. Good sources of B vitamins include meat, whole grains, and fortified cereals.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is found in more than just oranges; red and green bell peppers, kiwi, guava, and strawberries are also loaded with it! Vitamin C helps us form collagen, or the tissue that holds our cells together. We need collagen to keep our bones and teeth strong!

Vitamin D keeps us strong by helping to absorb calcium that builds our bones. Our bodies can actually make our own Vitamin D when we are exposed to sunlight…how cool is that?! Other sources of the vitamin include eggs and fortified milk.

Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that protects our cells from damage by free radicals. Great sources of Vitamin E include vegetable oils and nuts.

Iron is a mineral that delivers oxygen to all parts of the body. Make sure to eat plenty of green leafy vegetables and iron fortified cereals such as Total. Symptoms of iron deficiency include weakness and fatigue.

Potassium, also a mineral, functions as part of our muscle and as one of the best T-boosting supplements. Bananas steal the potassium show, but in fact other foods such as broccoli and potatoes (with the skin) have high amounts of potassium as well!

Zinc is a big part of a functioning immune system. This mineral is used by over 3000 proteins in our body! Sources include meat, oysters, and dairy products.

So as you can see, it is important to include a variety of foods in your diet to ensure you are getting all of your vitamins and minerals from A to Z! A great way to take in these vitamins and minerals is through an IV drip therapy. IVTherapyzone was very good when we were looking for an IV therapy clinic for our mum.

I had an excellent experience with the representative from Family Food. She really read into what I was telling her and offered excellent advice that I am already able to implement after one visit. She also helped to make the best use of the hour long session. Very good time management!

I met with a dietician for the first time and I had an idea of what to expect but I find this to be an invaluable resource because I have already received great ideas of things to use for meal planning and I also received more information of how to read nutrition labels. I am looking forward to my next appointment.

SHANA
[/db_pb_slide]

I really enjoyed my first session with Christine. She provided me with a lot of solid information on issues I was not aware of and positive reinforcement for behaviors I have already engaged in. I outlined specific goals I would like to work on with her guidance and she gave me some initial steps to start. I found what she had to say respectful of the space I am in and cognizant of obstacles to making lifestyle and lifelong changes.

LYNN
[/db_pb_slide]

I walked in without any specific questions/concerns, and my counseling was well-guided and ended up helping me see specific small changes that I can make to keep me on-track with my nutrition goals. Solutions fit my lifestyle and were not cookie-cutter, which is fantastic. I was able to start making improvements immediately. Thank you!
