Some nutrients are more common in animal foods and less common in plant foods. Vegetarians and vegans need to pay a little extra attention to their intake of these nutrients. Vitamin E is one of those special nutrients that are important for the health of your body in many different ways.
While you can get vitamin E from a supplement, you're probably better off getting it from plant sources, like sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are packed with all kinds of nutrients and they're an exceptionally cheap source of protein.
Another good natural source of vitamin E is Moringa Oleifera. Moringa is also high in Calcium, Vitamin C and several other important nutrients. The fiber in moringa leaf powder has been shown to help protect against diabetes among other things.
Palm fruit oil not only contains high levels of tocopherols, the family of nutrients that are known as vitamin E, it also contains high levels of oil soluble beta-carotene, which is good for your skin. It's extremely nutritious.
Peanuts are not only a cheap source of protein, they're also high in fiber and vitamin E. Recent studies have shown many benefits to eating nuts. They can help to keep your heart healthy and reduce mortality due to various chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer and others. Almonds are also known to contain high levels of vitamin E although they are generally much more expensive then peanuts.
