Vitamin A is not only good for your eyesight, it also promotes, growth, a healthy immune system, and healthy bones, teeth, hair, skin, and nails.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Apricots
Mango
Papaya
Cantaloupe
Spinach or kale
Carrots
Sweet potatoes
Pumpkins
Meat and fish
Eggs
Cod liver oil
Vitamin A-fortified cereal and milk (optional)

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

Step 1: Have vitamin A for breakfast

Have a vitamin A-rich breakfast with fruits such as apricots, mango, paypaya, and the fruit salad staple, cantaloupe.

Tip: Milk and many breakfast cereals are fortified with vitamin A.

Step 2: Have vitamin A at lunch

Include a salad with dark, leafy green vegetables, like spinach or kale, for lunch. Put some shredded beta-carotene-rich carrots on top for a great mid-day dose of A.

Tip: Vitamin A is fat-soluble and stored in the liver, so choose supplements wisely to avoid toxicity.

Step 3: Eat orange foods

Eat more orange and deep yellow foods, which contain the organic compound beta-carotene responsible for their color. Sweet potatoes are rich in A, as is the Halloween favorite, pumpkin.

Step 4: Enjoy dinner with animal products

Enjoy dinner with a wide variety of A-rich animal products, including meat, fish, and eggs.

Step 5: Take cod liver oil

Heed grandma's advice and take a spoonful of cod liver oil. The vitamin A actually does help ward off bacteria and viruses.

How cast videos imply that either they, the casters of the video are stupid, or that we the viewers are a stupid class of people just waiting to learn things which are innate in human beings..

cod liver oil

the oil of the livers of the people in call of duty

[troberts1]

None of the vegetables and fruits listed contain vitamin A. They contain beta-carotene, which the body can convert to vitamin A under the right conditions (eaten with fat). It is not an efficient conversion (not 1:1, it could be as much as 50:1 or greater), especially in the young, the old and people with compromised health. Beta-carotene is not equal to vitamin A. It is inaccurate and deceptive to say so. Preformed vitamin A is only found in animal fats.
