The B vitamins are a group of water-soluble vitamins that work as a team to promote energy conversion, growth, and eye, skin, and muscle health.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Whole grains
Avocados
Bananas
Potatoes and sweet potatoes
Beans and lentils
Chili peppers
Meat
Liver and organ meat
Fish and seafood
Eggs and milk
Nuts and seeds
Fortified breakfast cereal
Energy bars
Brewer's yeast (optional)
Wheat germ (optional)

Warning: Never change your diet without first consulting your physician.

Step 1: Get whole grains

Eat plenty of whole grains, which are loaded with all the B complex vitamins, especially B1, known as thiamine; B2, also called riboflavin; B3, also known as niacin; and B8, known as biotin.

Step 2: Get veggies

Get vegetarian sources of B vitamins by consuming avocados, bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, lentils, and chili peppers.

Tip: Take supplements of brewer's yeast and wheat germ, which are natural sources of B vitamins.

Step 3: Eat meat

Enjoy meat in your diet -- especially liver and other organ meat, which is an excellent source of B1, B3, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, and B12.

Step 4: Incorporate animal products

Incorporate other animals products in your diet, including fish, seafood, eggs, and milk. These foods are high in B12, also called cobalamine, essential for the nervous system and cell function.

Tip: It's recommended that vegetarians take a B12 supplement.

Step 5: Snack on nuts and seeds

Snack on nuts and seeds like sunflower seeds and flaxseeds, which are high in B1, B5, and B6. Known as pyridoxine, B6 helps the absorption of B12 in the body.

Step 6: Look for fortified foods

Look for foods commonly fortified with B vitamins, such as breakfast cereals and energy bars.
