Vitamin A and Carotene (or Pro-Vitamin A)
Animal foods, particularly fish liver oils, contain vitamin A; vegetable foods, particularly the yellow ones, contain carotene, though some animal foods contain both.
If the diet includes nuts, whole cereals such as wholemeal bread, wheat germ, and four to eight dessertspoonsful daily of cod liver oil, there is no danger of a deficiency of these vitamins, and vitamin D will also come into this.
Those with arthritis have a special need for these vitamins, and calcium, obtainable at health shops in the form of bone meal, is necessary for their assimilation.
