FitDay & Vitamin E and Manganese

[Guest guest]

FitDay rolled out an update of its website today. I am impressed with the

refinement of the

existing features.

The updated report feature says (over the last two months) I get only 2% of the

recommended

value of manganese and 18% of the required amount of vitamin E. I get 77% of the

suggested

amount of magnesium. I do take high-vitamin butter oil, which has an unspecified

amount of

vitamin E in it.

One thought is to consume almonds, which have manganese, magnesium and Vitamin E

as

alpha tocopherol in them. But almonds also are high in omega 6 acids, often are

roasted in

vegetable oil, and if not roasted need to be soaked in order to eliminate some

enzyme

inhibitors.

Does anyone have a whole or traditional foods suggestion to increase my intake

of these

three nutrients?

, I suspect that the need for vitamin E decreases with lowering

of PUFA intake. Most foods that are high in vitamin E are also fairly

high in PUFA. Manganese is also fairly low in animal foods, which

tells me that it may also be over-rated. I get most of my manganese

and vitamin E from a little bit of nitrogen flushed and refrigerated

wheat germ.
