Eat Your Greens
B vitamins convert the food you eat into energy, explains A.Vogel nutritionist
Emma Thornton ( WWW.AVOGEL.CO.UK). “Often vegans, vegetarians and those over 50 are particularly vulnerable to low levels of vitamin B12 as the nutrient is normally found in animal-derived products like meat and dair y and can be difficult to break down and absorb.”
BOOST: Increase levels of the B vitamin folate by eating more spinach, Brussels sprouts, romaine lettuce, asparagus, broccoli and legumes like lentils and beans, while organic eggs and fish are great sources of vitamin B12. Or take Healthspan Vitamin B Complex (£7.95 from HEALTHSPAN.CO.UK).
