The food we eat plays a massive part in how we feel in our everyday lives. If you feel like something isn’t right and you feel ‘off,’ you may well have a vitamin deficiency. You think of getting your vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat but does it happen? In the world today, everyone is so busy running here and there that many times a nutritious meal is a hard thing to come by. And popping a simple multi vitamin may be enough for some people, but it usually isn’t enough to support a severe deficiency or make a huge difference in someone’s health.

I do take vitamins. I only take what my body needs, though, and no more! I used to work in a bustling vitamin shop many years ago, and the number of vitamin sales during a busy Saturday bothered me. People were rushing to buy the newest and best vitamins for their health, but how did they know the vitamins they were buying would help? I loved that they wanted to improve their health, but there had to be a way for people to know precisely which vitamins their bodies needed before they bought them. 

Did you know kale is among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet? Kale has vitamins A, K, C, and B6, just to name a few. Kale is also high in antioxidants which help counteract oxidative damage by free radicals in the body. Oxidative damage is believed to be among the leading drivers of aging and many diseases, including cancer. These statements are pretty powerful. This helps reiterate the importance of knowing if you have a vitamin deficiency and if the foods you are eating are providing you with enough vitamins and minerals.

Let’s take spinach; this dark leafy green is essential for your skin, hair, and bone health.

You can see how not having this leafy green in your diet could cause a vitamin deficiency.

Broccoli also serves as our top source of chromium, an excellent source of manganese, and a good source of selenium and zinc.
