Our health officials recommend a daily dose of Vitamin E, or alpha tocopherol, of 15 milligrams per day to prevent free radicals and lower the risk of heart disease. This tocopherol protects the nutrients within us as it helps prevent vegetable oils and food nutrients from going rancid. Vitamin E’s prevalence in a balanced diet assures that the daily dose of 15mg is readily available (in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fortified foods). You can also find a wealth of Vitamin E vegetable oils including soybean, corn, cottonseed, safflower, nuts, seeds, and wheat germ. However heating these oils can destroy their vitamin content. (Instead of sautéing, you could consider a delicious vinaigrette).
Incorporating vitamin E into your diet will provide an increase in energy, very necessary for games of love. Vitamin E’s anti-oxidant power controls and eliminates free radicals which may cause bodily inefficiencies. It improves heart health by lowering bad cholesterol and preventing plaque build up which could lead to heart failure or stroke. Vitamin E will improve cardiovascular health and the body will store it for perpetually strengthening the immune system.
The body needs proper circulation and a strong immune system so it can rebuild and rejuvenate. Vitamin E improves upon these by interfering with the formation of bad cells which could form plaque or cause the body’s weakening. A slow in blood circulation or a weak immune system causes a person to have less energy and a poorer physical performance. A deficient physical state can keep one from running, from dancing, and from - horrors - making love. So, why not be mindful of what you put into yourself so you may be rewarded by what you can put out.
