Vitamins are very important for fully optimizing body functions. And you can take a multi vitamin or include foods rich in those vitamins and incorporate them into your diet. They include fat soluble vitamins and water soluble vitamins. Here are the fat soluble.

Fat-Soluble Vitamins

Vitamin Top Food Sources
Vitamin A Beef liver, eggs, fish, fortified milk, sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, and pumpkins.

Vitamin D Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), fish liver oils, egg yolks, liver, and fortified milk and cereals. Your body also makes vitamin D from sun exposure.

Vitamin E Vegetable oils (soybean, corn), nuts (almonds, peanuts), seeds, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.

Vitamin K Leafy green vegetables (kale, spinach, collard greens), broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and vegetable oils.

If you have not received your flu vaccine you would still benefit from getting one. The months in which it can peak are the winter months when everyone is indoors more.
Typical symptoms include fever, chills, aches, cough and sore throat. Intestinal symptoms, such as vomiting or diarrhea, are possible but uncommon. Although most people are ill for only a few days, influenza sometimes leads to more serious illness, such as pneumonia.
Call 901-221-8983 and schedule an appointment for your flu vaccine.

Teach your brain healthy eating habits.

Research shows that eating a high-fat, high-sugar diet for as little as four days can start to change your brain’s memory center.

After just four days on a junk-food-style diet, scientists observed that CCK interneurons in the hippocampus — the region responsible for memory, learning, and appetite regulation — became abnormally active. This shift can impair how the brain regulates hunger and fullness, driving cravings and overeating.

In other words, your brain begins to “learn” unhealthy eating patterns, reinforcing the cycle of poor food choices and reduced cognitive control.

The takeaway?
Your food choices directly influence your brain chemistry, memory, and metabolic balance. Nourish your brain with whole foods, healthy fats, and fiber because better food means better focus, better memory, and better health.
