In addition to carrots, which are famous for being a rich source of vitamin A, beef liver, sweet potatoes... are also rich in this substance, helping to diversify your diet.
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative, which has anti-aging and wrinkle-reducing effects and is recommended by dermatologists after the age of 30. In addition to supplementing retinol from the outside, you can also consume foods rich in vitamin A to increase the beauty effect.
Retinol helps stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells, thereby reducing sagging and aging.
Beef liver
A slice of beef liver, about 80g, can contain up to 6,270 mcg of vitamin A. Animals also store fat-soluble vitamin A in the liver, so consuming this food is a way to supplement vitamin A for the body.
Sweet Potatoes
A medium-sized potato contains more than 1,000 mcg of vitamin A, is delicious, and is rich in fiber and vitamin C. Unlike vitamin A found in animal products and many supplements, vitamin A in sweet potatoes comes from beta carotene. The body converts beta carotene to vitamin A as needed, making it a non-toxic source, even at high doses. The only potential side effect of high doses is carotenodermia, a harmless condition that turns the skin orange-yellow.
Spinach
Consuming 180 g of cooked spinach can provide the body with more than 900 mcg of vitamin A. This vegetable can also be varied into many dishes from salads to green smoothies, cakes... Boiling or steaming is the ideal way to help the body absorb vitamin A effectively. In addition, the vitamin is fat-soluble, so adding a little olive oil to this vegetable also helps the body absorb it better.
Fruits and vegetables, especially those with orange and dark green colors, are rich in vitamin A precursors, which help prevent wrinkles and keep skin healthy and beautiful.
Pumpkin
Orange and dark red fruits and vegetables often contain a lot of vitamin A precursors (carotenoids), including pumpkin. This food is processed in many ways from cooking soup, stir-frying, boiling to making cakes and mixing drinks.
Tuna
85g of cooked tuna helps supplement more than 600 mcg of vitamin A for the body. In addition to vitamin A, tuna is also rich in good fats, which help reduce inflammation and reduce the harmful effects of free radicals on cells, thereby keeping skin healthy and slowing aging.
Tuna not only contains vitamin A but is also rich in good fats, which are ideal for skin and health.
