Vitamin E

This vitamin is extremely important for a variety of functions in the body. A healthy heart needs plenty of the vitamin E as it has been shown to actually prevent heart disease. The e vitamin can also help contain any slow or stop existing heart disease from getting worse.

Vitamin E is also vital in protecting the cell membranes from the harmful free radicals that are present in the body. It is a fat soluble vitamin so it can be absorbed into the cell membranes. The vitamin E is essential for the immune system.

The recommended daily amount is dependent on body weight. The more fat a diet contains then the more of the vitamin E is needed. The only foods that really contain any reasonable amount of vitamin E are vegetable oils, seeds, wheat germ, and nuts.

A deficiency of vitamin E does not affect a person immediately. It can take months for the effects of insufficient vitamin E to be detected.
