There are risk groups of people at risk of low levels of magnesium in their blood. These include the elderly who suffer from gastrointestinal disorders, as well as those who regularly consume alcohol .
Great sources of this nutrient are spinach, peaches, whole grains and nuts, especially almonds.
There are two types of vitamin A - retinol and carotenoids such as beta-carotene. Beta-carotene can be found in many orange and yellow foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, as well as broccoli and spinach.
Vitamin A is key to vision, the immune system and tissue growth.
Vitamin D is important for the development of healthy bones, muscles and nerve fibers, as well as for the immune system. Although we can get it with the help of sunlight, experts recommend other ways.
