Vitamin E


Today I'm learning about Vitamin E, and it's natural sources. I love the website http://whfoods.org/ It is SO helpful to learn about vitamins and nutrients, why we need them, where we can get them naturally, etc.

So check out Vitamin E

A brief synopsis of what I learned is that Vitamin E protects us from free radical damage (cancer), as well as heart disease. Cool!! Give me some of that!

Here is part of their chart of the foods you can get it from. Click on each food to learn more about it too!
