After reading this article, I dove into a research mode. Luckily, I love fish and eat that at least once or twice a week. I take fish oil supplement. Of course, fish is not the only source of Omega 3. Walnuts and flaxseeds are great. Beans (navy, kidney beans, soybeans), winter squash, and extra virgin olive oil are good. I looked into Shakeology and see what items provided Omega 3. The items were flaxseed, chia seeds, and sacha inchi. Perfect! Other health benefits of Omega 3 are heart, brain, skin, cholesterol, diabetes, allergies, immune system, and digestive system.
As for Vitamin A, Shakeology already provides 5000 of this. (that is recommended for anyone) Good sources of Vitamin A Palmitate are eggs, milk, cheese, butter, liver and fish as well as vegetables that are dark green, like spinach, or orange like carrots or sweet potatoes. Foods of a plant origin do not contain Vitamin A Palmitate but are rich in sources of provitamin A, a class of compounds called carotenoids, which are involved in photosynthesis. B-Carotene is the most important of these compounds. That means I'll add more spinach into my shakes or make spinach salads for lunch. (my favorite is strawberry walnut spinach salad!)
Eating clean is important so you can have all the nutrients you need!
