| Top 25 Vitamin E Rich Foods Infographic from Gourmandia.com |
Vitamin E is an essential vitamin and, together with Vitamin A and Vitamin C, is one of the three powerful antioxidants that we need in order to be healthy. Although Vitamin E is commonly most associated with beautiful, healthy skin - it actually plays an important role throughout the body and its various organs, systems and functions.
Being an "essential" nutrient, our bodies cannot make Vitamin E and we must get it from dietary sources, i.e., foods. Although supplements are widely available, many nutritionists and healthcare professionals advise obtaining our nutrients from food whenever possible. It is thought that various nutrients present in food work together synergistically and that this synergy promotes the body's ability to absorb and utilize the various nutrients.
