Retinol : Vitamin A
Retinol is a form of vitamin A, is primarily found in animal-derived foods.
Liver: Liver, particularly beef liver, is one of the richest sources of retinol. It provides a concentrated dose of vitamin A, along with other essential nutrients like iron, protein, and B vitamins. Retinol from liver supports vision health, immune function, and skin health.
Egg Yolks: Egg yolks contain retinol, as well as other forms of vitamin A like lutein and zeaxanthin. These carotenoids support eye health, particularly the health of the retina, and contribute to overall antioxidant defense in the body.
Dairy Products: Whole milk, cheese, and butter contain small amounts of retinol. While these foods are not as rich in retinol as liver or egg yolks, they still contribute to overall vitamin A intake and support bone health, immune function, and skin health.
Fatty Fish: Some types of fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna, contain retinol in small amounts. Additionally, fish provide omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and overall well-being.
Benefits of consuming retinol-rich foods include
Vision Health: Retinol is essential for maintaining healthy vision, particularly in low-light conditions. It supports the function of photoreceptor cells in the retina, helping to improve night vision and reduce the risk of conditions like night blindness.
Skin Health: Retinol is widely recognized for its benefits in promoting skin health and reducing the signs of aging. It stimulates collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
Immune Function: Vitamin A, including retinol, plays a crucial role in immune system function. It supports the production and function of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections and illness.
Reproductive Health: Retinol is important for reproductive health in both males and females. It supports fertility, sperm production, and fetal development during pregnancy.
How to Remineralise our system?
The Root Cause Protocol (RCP) was developed by Morley Robbins, who transformed a career in the mainstream medical industry into a quest to learn the fundamental components of a healthy metabolism.
The RCP is the culmination of his many years of research and is revolutionary in its approach to health from a truly holistic perspective, by looking at the whole organism and how all the elements work together, rather than limiting the focus to isolated nutrients or conditions.
The RCP works by restoring balance to the key minerals – magnesium, copper, and iron – that must work together in order to optimise energy and increase vitality.
My life's work is dedicated to supporting women through the Root Cause Protocol (RCP). This sacred journey involves releasing emotional and physical debris, gunk, and cellular chaos from the inner temple, clearing pathways for more life to flow through.
If you want to explore why we as women need to remineralise our systems, I invite you to listen to this podcast episode here.
