New research shows that as much as 35% Americans have a vitamin E deficiency. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Vitamin E is found naturally in vegetable and wheat germ oils, cereals, chicken, beef, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. You can also take Vitamin E as a supplement. This vitamin plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy weight, preventing cancer, and dementia. Most people don’t realize that Vitamin E dissolves in fat. Could it be that the low fat and fat free diets are robbing our bodies of the Vitamin E it needs? A new study out of Ohio State University found that taking Vitamin E with a glass of milk or a square of cream cheese can increase the absorption rate by as much as 3 times. Even if you are young, vitamin E plays a vital role in the prevention of metabolic syndrome, a precursor to diabetes. So make vitamin E a part of your morning routine and be sure to take it with a glass of milk – consider the two the dynamic duo.
