Vitamin A and its benefits for the human body

Consumption of vitamin A strengthens the immune system and protects the skin

Found in colored food, nutrient strengthens teeth and vision, participates in bone development and makes hair more beautiful

It's no use. If you want to play sports, have healthy bones, see perfectly, have a beautiful smile, with strong teeth and still protect your skin from free radicals, you have to consume vitamin A , one of the most important for the body. Also known as retinol, the nutrient is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, and can be easily obtained through a diverse and healthy diet.


According to nutritionist Cristiane Perroni, a specialist in the EU ATHLETE, the vitamin has two categories: that of animal origin (called preformed vitamin A) is found in products such as liver, milk and derivatives, egg (yolk) and fish. The vegetable is called provitamin A carotenoid and is present in palm oil, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables (sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, mango), in addition to dark green leaves (alfalfa, mustard leaves, bertalha, cabbage, broccoli, endive, spinach).

Vitamin A is sensitive to oxidation by air. The loss of activity is accelerated by heat and exposure to light. Oxidation of fats and oils (eg butter, margarine, cooking oils) can destroy fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin A. Long-term cooking results in a 25% loss of nutrient.

In children, the highest degrees of this inadequacy were found in the Northeast (19.0%) and Southeast (21.6%) regions.
