The Need For Vitamin A For Men And Women

Hello, thank you for asking HealthReplies.com

Women's and men's vitamin needs are different because women and men have different energy and nutritional needs. This is influenced by different levels of life so that nutritional needs are also different. In addition, the development and growth of women and men are also different. Women experience puberty faster than men, besides men do not experience pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Although initially men need more vitamin A, but later when pregnant and breastfeeding, women need more vitamin A intake than men. Fulfillment of vitamin A can be fulfilled from the food intake we eat, especially fruits and vegetables. If you are pregnant and breastfeeding, then you need additional intake of vitamin A. Types of foods that contain lots of vitamin A include: https: //www.HealthReplies.com/ careful- caution- excess-vitamin-can-trigger-poisoning

  Yellow and green vegetables such as carrots and broccoli Fruits such as mangoes and cantaloupe Some types of fish such as salmon and tuna Dairy products such as cheese In pregnant women even though more intake, it is usually not necessary to supplement vitamin A if no vitamin A deficiency is needed severe and symptoms appear. If you carelessly take vitamin A supplementation without any indication, it is feared that excess vitamin A can cause a dangerous effect, namely disability in the fetus. So also avoid cosmetics that may contain vitamin A for skin beauty when the mother is pregnant. But if vitamin A deficiency will also harm the fetus and affect the health of pregnant women. Then the need for vitamin A should be obtained from a healthy diet. If symptoms of vitamin A deficiency appear, then the use of supplementation should be on the advice and supervision of a doctor.

I hope this helps
