What foods are high in b vitamins?

There are many foods rich in vitamin B. Some natural sources include bananas, potatoes, lentils, other whole grains, chili peppers, green vegetables, eggs, dairy products, and meats including turkey, tuna, and liver.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine):

Thiamine is a very good vitamin because it helps to convert the food you eat into energy for your body, essential for the busy lifestyle of today, and can play a big role in helping your nervous system to function properly. Vitamin B1 can be found in brown rice, green vegetables, red meat, berries, bread, egg yolks, yeast, and whole grain cereals.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin):

This vitamin can also work the same as the vitamin B1 in that it can help to convert food into energy; it also helps to maintain good health for skin, mucous membranes, cornea, and nerve sheaths. The foods containing this vitamin are milk, peas, whole grain products, eggs, and cheese.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin):

This vitamin can help with food metabolism helping to maintain the health of the skin, nerves, and gastrointestinal tract. The foods containing niacin are all protein rich foods like fish, potatoes, milk, meat, eggs, peanuts, and legumes.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid):

Vitamin B5 is one of the vitamins that help to break down lipids, carbohydrates and amino acids that are in certain foods that you eat. The foods that contain this are whole grain cereals, meat, and legumes.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine):

Again, this is another of the ‘B’ vitamins that helps to convert food into energy and vitamin B6 helps in the production of red blood cells into the body. It can be found in liver, wheat germ, whole-grain cereals, brown rice, butter, fish, soybeans, and meat.

Biotin:

This is a vitamin that helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that are found in foods that you eat. The examples of foods are mushrooms, oatmeal, bananas, egg yolks, brewer's yeast, soy, peanuts, and organ meats.

Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid):

Folic acid is crucial to the DNA in your body and this is done by interacting with the vitamin B12. Folic acid is essential for your body to break down protein and to form hemoglobin. Vitamin B9 can be found in yeast, liver, green vegetables and whole grain cereals. It is advised for pregnant women to increase their intake of folic acid as it helps with DNA synthesis.

Vitamin B12:

This helps with the production of the blood cells assisting with the conversion of food into energy. The foods for you to eat for this vitamin are meat, poultry, egg yolks, liver, and milk.
