Most people should be able to healthy get all the vitamins and minerals they require from a, balanced diet.
Here are different ways of boosting a healthy diet with vitamins.
Eat more oily fish
A recent survey revealed consumption of oily fish is well below the recommended portion per week, and that 23% of adults aged 19 to 64, and 22% of children between 11 and 18 had low vitamin D. This increased to 40% for both in the winter months. In addition, 46% of girls and 23% of women didn’t eat enough iron.
Limit the sugar in your diet
It’s important that we should limit our intake of sugary foods, and bear in mind that some foods such as yoghurt, wholegrain breakfast cereals, fruit and fruit juice are rich in other nutrients.
Go for protein-rich items
Opt for protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, beans and non-dairy sources of protein, such as nuts and pulses. Stock up on foods which boost your immune system.
Get advice deciding on a supplement
Whether it would be beneficial to take a supplement, and which one to choose, can be a minefield, especially because there are so many different types available in the market. Ask your doctor to prescribe one if required.
Pick lots of starchy foods
Go for items such as rice, bread, pasta and potatoes and choose wholegrain varieties when possible.
Dare to try dairy
The government recommends everyone consumes a diet that contains some milk and dairy because it is needed for a balanced diet. Reduced-fat versions are available.
