Are you getting enough vitamins?


13 years ago 0 1853 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
If you are a smoker or a recent quitter using an NRT, did you know your needs for many vitamins are increased? 

In particular, smokers have been found to often be deficient in vitamin E, C, B and folate due to the inhibitory effects of nicotine. 

Luckily, many of these vitamins are found in everyday foods such as leafy greens, citrus fruit, fortified cereals, fish and dairy products. 

For further  assessment of your vitamin requirements, please consult your health care practitioner. 

If any members have great recipes including these vitamins or tips on how to meet our daily requirements, please feel free to share them here.
