As well as being necessary to new cell growth, vitamin A helps fight infections, and is essential for healthy skin, good blood, strong bones and teeth. It also plays essential roles in the kidneys, bladder, lungs and membranes, as well as helping maintain good eyesight. Vitamin A also helps eyes adjust to changes in levels of light.
You'll find vitamin A in fish liver oils, liver, dairy products, carrots, cantaloupe, peaches, squash, tomatoes. All green and yellow fruits and vegetables can fuel the body with vitamin A.
Don't rule out dark green leafy vegetables as they are excellent sources of beta carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.
