Dr. Shen Yonghua
Foods rich in vitamin A:
1. Animal-based foods: These mainly include animal livers, such as pork liver, chicken liver, lamb liver, etc., which are very high in vitamin A content. In addition, fish liver oil, dairy products, and eggs are also good sources of vitamin A.
2. Plant-based foods: Although plant-based foods naturally contain lower levels of vitamin A, many green and yellow vegetables and fruits are rich in carotenoids, a substance that can be converted into vitamin A in the human body.
Fruits rich in vitamin A:
1. Mangoes: Mangoes are not only sweet and delicious but also rich in beta-carotene.
2. Apricots: Both fresh and dried apricots contain vitamin A.
3. Cantaloupe: This juicy fruit is also rich in beta-carotene, helping to increase vitamin A intake.
4. Persimmons: Particularly in autumn, ripe persimmons are another good source of vitamin A.
At the same time, eating more colorful vegetables and fruits can not only ensure sufficient vitamin A intake but also allow you to benefit from a variety of other vitamins and minerals.
