Doctor Oz played a game called “Win Your Daily Dose” on his show to teach us about the importance of B Vitamins. There are a total of 8 different B Vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12. B Vitamins are critical because they help to keep our nerves healthy and to ward off cancer, as well as to help with our muscle functions.
Sources of B Vitamins:
1. Cereals – Whole Grains
Cereals and whole grains are a great source of all of the eight B Vitamins.
2. Legumes
Lentils are a source of B Vitamins as well as folic acid, which reduces cancer and birth defects. Lentils may just be the best source of protein!
3. Oysters
Oysters are loaded with Vitamin B and help with nerve functions, plus they are a great source of iron. The lucky woman who picked the box that contained oysters won a trip to Chesapeake Bay, Maryland!
