Your body needs vitamins. Vitamin A gives you healthy eyes and skin and helps you grow. It is found in a number of foods, including liver, carrots, squash, and spinach.
Several varieties of B vitamins help you body turn food into energy, repair tissues, build muscles, and make red blood cells. Liver, pork, whole-grain cereals, dark leafy vegetables, peanuts are some of the foods containing B vitamins.
